Historia
Neil James Innes was an English writer, comedian and musician. He first came to prominence in the pioneering comedy rock group Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band and later became a frequent collaborator with the Monty Python troupe on their BBC television series and films, and is often called the "seventh Python" along with performer Carol Cleveland. He co-created the Rutles, a Beatles parody/pastiche project, with Python Eric Idle, and wrote the band's songs.

En 1979, "La Vida de Brian" de Monty Phython puso la epopeya bíblica patas arriba. Hoy, los creadores de SPAMALOT hacen lo mismo con la música clásica. Prepárate para "No es el Mesías (es un sinvergüenza)", una obra maestra cómica que combina el humor inolvidable de la película más célebre de Monty Phython con la grandeza ostentosa de una orquesta sinfónica. No te pierdas la única representación de este espectáculo y una rara oportunidad de ver juntos en escena a miembros del grupo Monty Phyton. (FILMAFFINITY)
Himself
Sean Connors Films, Ltd. Presents a Frozen Pictures production of The Seventh Python, a nonfiction musical feature film based on the life, work and unplanned career of musical satirist Neil Innes. The Seventh Python traces one man’s winding path of whimsy as he flirts with destiny at the edge of fame with incredibly influential and unusually lasting work that keeps one foot each planted in the worlds of comedy and rock ‘n’ roll. From the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band to Monty Python's Flying Circus and The Rutles, to his Ego Warrior campaign and his insistence on wearing a plastic duck on his head, Neil Innes has proven to be the greatest musical comedy satirist of the past fifty years.

Himself
The Secret Policeman benefit shows for Amnesty International brought together comedy grand masters - from Python and Beyond the Fringe - and performers then relatively unknown, like Rowan Atkinson. Narrated by Dawn French, the programme includes interviews with many of the comedians and musicians who took part: John Cleese, Stephen Fry, Michael Palin, Sting, Lenny Henry and many more. The shows and their stars had a huge effect on modern British comedy. There are few comics today whose careers have not been heavily influenced by the anarchic and surreal humour of these events.

A Weedy Samaritan
Delirante y divertidísima comedia que relata, a golpe de carcajada, la vida de un desastre de hombre, contemporáneo de Jesucristo, que es confundido por el pueblo con un mesías. Que nadie se confunda: "Life of Brian" no es una amalgama de escenas absurdas que hacen reír, es una brillante sátira que desborda con un humor maravillosamente inteligente. Obra capital de los geniales Monty Python, su gozosa visión está llena de memorables gags que la encumbran como una de las mejores parodias de la historia del cine.

El rey Arturo y sus caballeros reciben un encargo divino: partir en búsqueda del Santo Grial, para lo cual deberán luchar contra enemigos muy diversos: malignos caballeros rivales, bestias sanguinarias (que solo son visibles como dibujo animado), groseros caballeros franceses fortificando un castillo en Inglaterra, brujas, adivinos mefistofélicos, Scotland Yard, y hasta un conejo asesino y carnívoro (que muere destruido por una cómica reliquia traída de las Cruzadas: la "Santa Granada de Mano de Antioquia").
Self
An documentarian from the BBC visits the set of Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975). This documentary shouldn't be viewed as a making of the film, but rather a goof-off session that is simply there to conjure up laughter.
The Bonzo Dog Band drive into the country in a truck, unload their equipment in some woods only to find some of it taken away by some children. They eat and play at a party, and the Bonzos play a number of instrumentals in a stable yard, including 'Rockaliser Baby', 'We are Normal' and 'Quiet Walks and Summer Talks'. At the end they are driven away in a white car. Note: No words are sung. Featured alongside the Bonzo Dog Band are the children Amanda, Jennifer and Ashley Lees, Edward Roebuck, and Olivia Smith.
