商品の説明
Region Free Special blow-up deluxe 7 Blu-Ray Box Set. Playable on all Blu-Ray players. Years in the making, Network is proud to present the entire original television series of Monty Python's Flying Circus, fully rejuvenated for the first time. Sketches, some edited for timing, taste and copyright reasons, have been carefully restored to their intended length and the majority of Terry Gilliam's animations have been newly scanned in High Definition and restored to a specification way beyond their original format. Hitherto unseen outtakes, film inserts and studio recordings have been retrieved, adding yet another dimension to this exclusive release. This is the ultimate television restoration and a must for every generation of Python fan. After nearly a decade of research and planning, this is a ground up restoration by Network's award-winning in-house team working from the best available materials - from first generation 2-inch videotape masters to surviving negative and print film material, scanned in 2K. The wildly varying picture sources have been graded scene-by-scene and intensively cleaned up. State of the art upscaling of Standard Definition videotape has been deployed with careful use of noise reduction for both video and film grain, resulting in a vastly improved viewing experience all round on Blu-ray High Definition format, far exceeding anything previously available.

First, from what little I've seen of the actual remastering thus far, it is stellar. It is astounding how fantastically good the video looks now. It is a revelation that must be seen to be believed. All releases that came before pale in stark comparison, particularly the A&E discs. (You can see samples of the restoration by doing an online search.)
Second, the only "editing" that has been performed on this set is not to truncate material, but to restore episodes to their original intent and glory. This means that most (if not all) jokes and visuals that were censored either before first airings or subsequent reruns have been located and restored. The fact that these elements still exist is nothing short of miraculous, considering the BBC once considered wiping the broadcast tapes completely. All thanks and gratitude go to the team at Network for the painstaking research and monumental effort it took to make this set a reality.
Speaking of research, each series (season) comes with its own exclusive book obsessively detailing seemingly every minute that went into creating and filming that series. Each is over 150 pages.
Third, each series contains whatever respective outtakes could be located, the first time such material has been commercially released or seen (unless I'm mistaken). Again, the fact that any elements of this nature have survived further cements this set as a holy grail, of sorts.
Lastly, from an aesthetic perspective, my box arrived thoroughly undamaged. It even came in its own sealed, plain brown shipping box with a MPFC barcode sticker affixed, thus limiting potential shipping damage. So it is possible to receive one that survives relatively crash-free.
If you have the 8-DVD set The Complete Series from Sony (unfortunately available only in PAL), I'd hold onto it as well. The transfers on that set are not bad - though not comparable to the superior Network restoration - and use the set of masters as shown on American television (in the '80s, anyway) - i.e. differing edits than those found on the A&E set. And if you're like me, you may occasionally feel nostalgic to see some sketches the way you remember. For instance, I always thought the "gangrene" male voice overdub was intentional and enhanced the joke. It's wonderful to finally hear it as intended, but I may eventually miss that silly edit - perhaps the only such alteration I will miss.
If I have any knock on the set, it would be that I wish the two episodes produced for German television had been included. True, they weren't part of the series proper, but it would have been a treat to see them get the same loving treatment. Their absence, however, in no way detracts from the riches contained herein. My guess is that Network has such a project in its future sights. And who knows? They may well discover even more long-missing material by then as well, and we may still be alive to see it.
Cheers,
Semprini


First I should mention that I had some trepidation about ordering the Blu-ray set due to the comments about the packaging. Something may have changed, as the set we received did not come in the fancy box, but just a regular compact case with discography like most T.V. series are boxed in these days. The discs were pristine and undamaged.
For a series that ran from 1969 to about 1974 the remastering/restoration was stunningly done. My hats off to the technicians who did that. Here and there some source material did not escape the ravages of time so well, but it was usual in a scene here or there and in some cases (maybe in the extras) there as a note about the low quality due to the original being lost or such. Overall excellently restored though.
As for the content, if you are used to Monty Python humor, sight gags, etc. you will not be disappointed. I would say there is material here and there in certain episodes that some will find offensive by today's standards (religious knocks, nudity [think Benny Hill type stuff], racial knocks [some instances of black face], and more obscure ethic jokes/gags), but to be fair that was the times so to speak. It is what it was. Just a warning for those who might be offended.
Otherwise, It was good to see "the boys" in form and we recognize other actors/actresses that appear in their later shows and films.
