A fantastic documentary on the making of Monty Python's Life Of Brian and the incredible reaction to its release by Britain's bigots and fundamentalists.

A documentary on the making of, and fundamentalist christians reaction to: Monty Python's Life Of Brian. As presented above, I know a few ex-evangelicals who protested the film should be banned - without even seeing it (which obviously helped it's PR!)

This is great, thank you!

Good nights tv that one, this followed by the film. great

*promote

Re-promoting this video to the front page as a VideoSift Classic. Originally published on Thursday 25th January 2007 (promotion called by gold star member winkler1)

What a miserable existence Mr. Whitehouse must have had.

Surely this should be tagged as 'long'?

Also, is it out of sync for everyone, or just me?

Great vid.

It wasn't marked long as I submitted it before the time icon was implemented - and it's in sync for me (plus thanks for the *promote Winkler!)

(-27:30) I always wondered how Spike Milligan came to be in that film!

*dead :-/

Gold Star invocations (dead) cannot be executed by pyrex because pyrex is not a Gold Star member - sorry.

Thanks for the warning Pyrex - I've replaced the embed and linked the other parts in the description.

Adding video to channels (British) - requested by Zifnab.

*promote

Video cannot be promoted by Fedquip because Fedquip promoted a post less than 7 days ago.

I would really like to see the debate on British television this documentary refers to. Sadly I can only find a wiki synopsis

Promoting this video back to the front page; last published Monday, February 26th, 2007 5:10pm PST - promote requested by jwray.

I haven't watched videos two through five yet, but I don't really think you can calls them bigots when all they really want to do is defend what they hold most dear when it's being turned into a mockery. Of course, I've probably spoken too soon...

Nah, you can't really call them bigots, they are defenders of bigotry, which technically makes them morons.

*documentaries

Adding video to channels (Documentaries) - requested by mauz15.
