"'O.J.R.I.L. (Old Jokes and Ridiculously Irrelevant Links): The Completely Incomplete Graham Chapman' holds the distinction of being the only book ever published in the entire history of Western civilization with this title. (Although 'O.J.R.I.L.: The Completely Incomplete Graham Greene' came frighteningly close.) As if this great feat were not enough, this book also comprises a new collection of four unpublished, (and mostly) unproduced scripts by the late Graham Chapman of the legendary Monty Python's Flying Circus troupe." "The scripts include the much-rumored, but never produced, 1974 American TV special, 'Our Show For Ringo Starr', co-written with Douglas Adams. 'Jake's Journey', a TV sitcom filmed but never released, that was commissioned for CBS-TV. (It involves the misadventures of an American teenager in London and is very loosely based on 'A Connecticut Yankee in the Court of King Arthur'.) 'The Concrete Inspector' was written as a half-hour short-feature, and 'Tonight: VD' is a brief sketch written shortly before Graham Chapman's death in 1989. ("Must we all be so juvenile? It's only two letters, for God's sake.")"--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Of the many blackguards who left their bloodstained mark on history, the foulest of them all was the pirate Yellowbeard. His name struck terror into the hearts of gentlefolk in the days when Queen Anne was a monarch rather than a table. Until recently, however, Yellowbeard's exploits were lost in the swirling mists of time. That oversight has now been corrected with this hilarious spoof on the pirate adventure genre. According to the author, Monty Python member Graham Chapman, Yellowbeard tells "the true story of Treasure Island, all the bits that Robert Louis Stevenson didn't want to tell. Yellowbeard is a vile buccaneer so scurrilolus he makes Long John Silver look like a tinhorn. He puts 'rat' back into 'pirate." Yellowbeard contains Chapman's original novel and screenplay, plus interviews with John Daly, the film's producer, and cast members Cheech and Chong, Nigel Planer, Peter Boyle, and others. Its timely release coincides with the Broadway premier of Monty Python's Spamalot.

"Graham Crackers is the hilarious new book from Monty Python's Graham Chapman, who has been dead for nearly 10 years. It contains everything a book should have: words, sequentially numbered pages, ink, binding - even a cover - all at no extra charge!" "It also contains never-before-published photos, never-before-produced comedy sketches, details on Graham's very unconventional life, thoughts on Monty Python, and tales of mad adventure with the Dangerous Sports Club, pals like the Who's Keith Moon, and more." "Includes a foreword by John Cleese, a backward by Eric Idle, and a sideways by Terry Jones."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Personal ancedotes, humorous reminiscences, and more than 1,000 photographs and illustrations celebrate the comedy troupe's thirty-fourth anniversary.

"Graham Chapman's extraordinary and surreal account of his more than eventful life - whether as mountaineer or medical student; actor or alcoholic; heterosexual groupie guzzler or homosexual coming to terms with himself. He was a celebrated member of the Monty Python team and his zany wit became familiar to millions of viewers world-wide in his assorted roles as military colonel, policeman and doctor and as the eponymous hero of the Python film The Life of Brian"--Publisher's description.

The definitive collection of writings by Python Graham Chapman. Funny, innovative and surreal as any Python sketch.

The classic piece of cinematic blasphemy from 1979.
