Holy Flying Circus
Synopsis
Holy Flying Circus is a fantastical re-imagining of the events leading up to Michael Palin and John Cleese’s appearance on the BBC’s Friday Night Saturday Morning to defend their film Life of Brian against charges of blasphemy. Not only is it a bold and entertaining homage to one of the world’s greatest comedy teams but it is also incredibly pertinent as the debate about freedom of speech and what is an acceptable subject matter for comedy rages on.
