Monty Python's Flying Circus: Norwegian Blu-Ray Edition

Region Free Special blow-up deluxe 7 Blu-Ray LIMITED EDITION Box Set. (Note: discs encoded in 1080i, not 1080p; some lower-end blu-ray players may have problems.) Years in the making, Network is proud to present the entire original television series of Monty Python's Flying Circus, fully rejuvenated for the first time. Sketches, some edited for timing, taste and copyright reasons, have been carefully restored to their intended length and the majority of Terry Gilliam's animations have been newly scanned in High Definition and restored to a specification way beyond their original format. Hitherto unseen outtakes, film inserts and studio recordings have been retrieved, adding yet another dimension to this exclusive release. This is the ultimate television restoration and a must for every generation of Python fan. After nearly a decade of research and planning, this is a ground up restoration by Network's award-winning in-house team working from the best available materials - from first generation 2-inch videotape masters to surviving negative and print film material, scanned in 2K. The wildly varying picture sources have been graded scene-by-scene and intensively cleaned up. State of the art upscaling of Standard Definition videotape has been deployed with careful use of noise reduction for both video and film grain, resulting in a vastly improved viewing experience all round on Blu-ray High Definition format, far exceeding anything previously available. The set also includes making-of books detailing how each series was created. (Note: much if not all of the BBC's censoring has been REMOVED. This is as close as possible to how the Pythons intended their work to be presented.) (Note: manufacturer's packaging is somewhat fragile and not well designed for shipping. Specifically, the brackets in the box where the season sleeves sit are prone to tear. WLP cannot guarantee against this sort of damage in shipping.)
