Worth pointing out that the current political climate at the BBC would render Monty Python impossible to make today, and apparently this is considered progress.
I enjoy listening to the shows "Dead Ringers" and "The Now Show" on Radio 4 which provide pretty accurate satire of current politics. Other enjoyable comedy sketch shows include "That Mitchell and Webb look" and "Harry and Paul".
There remains hope.
Sadly, many Pythons got old, lost their edge, and wound up wealthy entitled out-of-touch conservative old men - their complaints reflect their own shortcomings more than anything else.
Terry Jones was one of the exceptions, which makes his loss all the sadder.
