KERA-TV in Dallas was the first PBS station to broadcast Monty Python's Flying Circus, and it was the Pythons' first stop in the US after the premier of Monty Python and the Holy Grail in Los Angeles in 1975. This interview footage first aired live on KERA that year, and hasn't been seen by the public since. It was discovered on an old reel that had been saved by an engineer, and as you can see, it cuts off after about 14 minutes... the engineer taped over the rest. It's a look at the group being candidly questioned by fans at the peak of their fame and creative powers.
More info on the video and a link to download it can be found here The Sound of Young America: Unearthed Monty Python Footage From 1975
While I'm on about my favourite TV show ever have you checked out my Monty Python page lately? I've added quite a few new clips to download of late.
