Western Morning News
|August 08, 2025
A SET of 10 stamps from Royal Mail will pay tribute to “one of Britain's most influential and enduring comedy troupes” - Monty Python.
The main collection of six stamps celebrates characters from Monty Python's Flying Circus, the BBC TV series which ran from 1969 to 1974, with sketches so popular that generations of fans can still recite all the lines.
The stamps showcase highlights including the Spanish Inquisition, the Ministry Of Silly Walks, the Lumberjack Song, the Dead Parrot Sketch, Nudge Nudge, and Spam.
Formed in 1969, Monty Python was one of the UK's best-known comedy troupes, made up of comics Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Sir Michael Palin and Terry Gilliam.
