Monty Python's Big Red Book
Appearance
Monty Python's Big Red Book is a comedy book comprising mostly material derived and reworked from the first few years of the Monty Python's Flying Circus BBC television series. It was first published in 1971 by Methuen Publishing Ltd.
It is available in both hard and softcover editions. It was published in the United States in 1975 by Warner Books.
As well as the comedy content, the title itself is a humorous reference to Mao's "Little Red Book" - and despite the title, the book has a blue cover.
It was mentioned in the relaunch of the BBC show Doctor Who, in the episode "Silence in the Library".
