Trivia
Special Guests in the Blackmail sketch included Stephen Fry, Lee Mack, Bill Bailey, Noel Fielding, Matt Lucas, Warwick Davis, Simon Pegg, David Walliams, Eddie Izzard (who also appears as a celebrity "Bruce" in the last show), and Mike Myers. Astronomy Professors Brian Cox and Stephen Hawking also appeared, explaining the mistakes in the "Galaxy Song" lyrics.

Crazy credits
The screen at the end first says, "GRAHAM CHAPMAN 1941-1989", then "MONTY PYTHON 1969-2014".

Alternate versions
There have been at least two versions shown on TV in foreign countries; one of about 135 minutes, and a heavily-edited 90-minute version. The latter omits many sketches, mainly dancing numbers and the in-between clips, retaining most but not all of the Pyton members' stage acts.

Great farewell show...

Having watched a lot of the Monty Python sketches on TV as a kid, I have always had a particular fondness for the comedy from these English chaps. And the 2014 farewell show definitely is something you have to watch if you enjoy Monty Python.

With 45 years of comedy, the guys certainly have brought a lot of laughs to the audience throughout the years. And what works is the quirkiness of the sketches and their ability to take things a step further out than what you expect and still keep it hilarious and enjoyable.

And the six chaps, being John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin and Graham Chapman each brought something unique and funny to the troupe, giving the sketches their own personal and memorable touch. And that is what I enjoyed throughout the years.

It was good fun to watch the guy revisit old and classic sketches and songs in this 2014 show, and I will say that they went out with a bang, because "Monty Python Live (Mostly)" was great entertainment.

My rating of "Monty Python Live (Mostly)" lands on a six out of ten stars.
