While John Cleese's FAWLTY TOWERS is probably the most celebrated project undertaken by any of the Monty Python crew in their post-Python years, this comedy gem from Michael Palin and Terry Jones is an unheralded side-splitter.

Only two series' were made of RIPPING YARNS, and both are presented here. [More]
