The fact that they have a video on the official Python youtube channel of playback from original quad tapes is very promising!

Hi everyone,
I've been trying to get a full restoration of Monty Python's Flying Circus off the ground for more than ten years. It's finally happened and it's looking remarkable.
More information will be released by Network over the next few weeks and months, but I can tell you that we are using the best recordings that survive.
It's a fabulous project that has produced some incredible discoveries!
Paul

Can you confirm that on both the Blu-ray and DVD that the Videotaped material WILL be left interlaced (aka 'Video Look/Soap Opera Effect/50 Fields)?
It irritated me to no end when The Beatles camp did that to the 1+ set a few years ago and it put me off a bit from Blu-ray restorations of VT material.

Very much looking forward to seeing the early episodes direct from the quads, the dubs that Python Pictures have been using for years just look terrible. Can you confirm that on both the Blu-ray and DVD that the Videotaped material WILL be left interlaced (aka 'Video Look/Soap Opera Effect/50 Fields)? It irritated me to no end when The Beatles camp did that to the 1+ set a few years ago and it put me off a bit from Blu-ray restorations of VT material. Yes! This 100%

I'm hoping this will be a general issue rather than a limited run like the Dr Who season box sets so far.
My Monty Python's Flying Circus DVD box has a few faulty discs so I'm looking to replacing them.

Glad to hear that so much of the 16mm film material has survived. I would assume that the film would include a pile of stuff edited out for broadcast which will be nice to see. Very curious to find out if the extended version of Series 4 Ep 5 will be included....

If it was shown in the UK, it will be on the Bluray.
Network will be announcing more details soon!

They will include subtitles, I hope? Network doesn't always do this, but they'd be fools not to, so many international fans = buyers...
