And Now for Something Completely Different
Being a refilming of many skits from the first two seasons of the show, this is a decent primer for any new Python fan. But what it improves in film quality, it loses sometimes in sketches being rewritten or truncated. The Parrot sketch and the Self-Defense Against Fresh Fruit are abbreviated (Self-Defense by more than half), and sketches that weren't on the same episode are now given connective tissue they never had before. If you're familiar with the show, there's really nothing to see here, as everything you're familiar with will be, contrary to the title, ever so slightly different. Still funny, but for new fans only.
