Written by and starring Michael Palin and Terry Jones, The Complete and Utter History of Britain is a groundbreaking comedy that shaped the future of television humor and influenced the legendary Monty Python's Flying Circus. Filmed in black and white in 1969, this rare gem offers a hilariously skewed take on British history, presenting historical events as if they were covered by modern television. From Richard the Lionheart's holiday-style Crusade tales to medieval adverts and William the Conqueror's post-match analysis, this series is a comedic masterpiece. In 2013, Palin and Jones revisited their work, adding new linking material to create The Incomplete and Utter History of Britain 2013, blending nostalgia with fresh humor.

Love this! Quick delivery, Excellent quality and colours are vibrant door mat has a good weight and depth to it rough to touch so does the job although don’t want to stand on it! 😂
Bought as a Christmas present for one of my grandchildren who is obsessed with animals and plants. He absolutely loved it and happily trounced his siblings and cousins for most of Christmas Day. Thanks for sending it in time
