Monty Python's Flying Circus

The Pythons were: John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Terry Jones, Michael Palin, Terry Gilliam and Eric Idle. Together they made 45 TV episodes over 4 series between 1969 and 1974 and went on to make films together and various other projects individually.

2018: Londonist points out that Palin's name is mis-spelt on the stone commemorating him as one of the prominent donors to The Globe.  This error is thought to be a Pythonesque joke.
