Trust us, we're not making this up as we go along...
Forget the fact that Backstreet Boys, 'N Sync and All Saints are all getting back together, there’s only one group that we’re really interested in seeing reunite – the wonderfully ingenious and incomparable JOE favourite, it is of course the legendary comedy group, Monty Python.
OK, well, them
and All Saints we suppose.
The amazing news has broken that everyone’s favourite Flying Circus is expected to take flight all over again as John Cleese, Michael Palin, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam (
no Graham Chapman unfortunately) have, according to
The Hollywood Reporter, invited journalists to a London press conference on Thursday which is simply entitled ‘Monty Python Press Conference.’
The Irish Sun also ran with its excellent and exclusive Pythonesque front cover on today’s paper:
We thought they were no more, had ceased to be, were bereft of life, so we most certainly didn't see this coming. In fact, to paraphrase the great men themselves, nobody expects the Monty Python reunion.
Between this and the news that an
official release date for Dumb And Dumber To has been announced, today is fast turning into THE GREATEST DAY OF ALL TIME.
Hopefully the magnificent men, who haven’t all collaborated with each other in over 30 years, are reuniting to show everybody else in the comedy world how it’s really done, and will possibly announce a new project featuring their own unique brand of absurd, surreal, and brilliant humour.
In the meantime, here’s one of the troupe’s finest ever moments. We know you weren't expecting it (again) but here's The Spanish Inquisition:
