In 1969, the BBC aired the first episode of a new comedy series titled Monty Python's Flying Circus, and the rest, as they say, is history. An instant success, the show ran until 1974, producing a total of 45 episodes. Despite the show's very English humor and allusions to many things British, the series developed a cult following outside the U.K., particularly in the United States. Known for its outrageous humor, occasionally controversial content, and often silly spirit, Monty Python's Flying Circus poked fun at nearly all institutions—domestic or foreign, grand or intimate, sacred or not. Indeed, many of the allusions and references in the program were uniquely British and routinely obscure, and therefore, not always understood or even noticed outside the British Isles. This exhaustive reference identifies and explains the plethora of cultural, historical, and topical allusions of this landmark series. In this resource, virtually every allusion and reference that appeared in an episode—whether stated by a character, depicted in the mise-en-scene, or mentioned in the printed scripts—is identified and explained. Organized chronologically by episode, each entry is listed alphabetically, indicates what sketch it appeared in, and is cross-referenced between episodes. Entries cover literary and metaphoric allusions, symbolisms, names, peoples, and places; as well as the myriad social, cultural, and historical elements (photos, songs, slogans, caricatures) that populate and inform these episodes. Entries Include: ·"Arabella Plunkett" ·Group of famous characters from famous paintings ·Hell's Grannies ·HRH The Dummy Princess Margaret ·"Kandinsky" ·"On the Dad's Liver Bachelors at Large" ·Raymond Baxter type ·Scun ·"Spanish Inquisition" ·"Third Parachute Brigade Amateur Dramatic Society" ·"total cashectomy" ·"Two-Sheds" ·"Umbonga's hostile opening" ·Vicar sitting thin and unhappy in a pot ·"What's all this then?"
No Place to Hide
'Highly recommended' MICK HERRON 'The Secret History meets The Capture' J.P. DELANEY Adam lives a picture-perfect life. Happy marriage. Healthy kids. Successful career as a doctor. But Adam feels like he is being watched. Hospital CCTV, strangers' mobile phones, city traffic cameras – he thinks they're all surveilling him, recording his every move. All because of something terrible that happened at a drunken party when he was a medical student. Something he had hoped was forgotten. He should have known that an event as traumatic as that doesn't just go away. So when someone from his past infiltrates his life, he knows there's no point running from the Faustian pact he made years ago. He knows that the deadly game has begun – and there's no place left to hide. No Place to Hide is a spellbinding tale of psychological suspense, weaving together the dark web, murder, and blackmail... 'Compelling, relentless and genuinely frightening' SIMON RUSSELL BEALE 'Intelligent, dark, twisty' JANE SHEMILT 'Monroe builds up the tension well, offering a battle between good and evil and bringing in the kinds of questions most people ask themselves' LITERARY REVIEW 'Clever, convincing and wickedly twisty' MICK HERRON 'An intelligent and inventive thriller that grips to the very last page' J.P. DELANEY 'Disturbing and fun at the same time, this is a techno-thriller with an entirely human core.' MORNING STAR
