Monty Python: Almost the Truth - The Lawyers Cut (TV Series) (2009) is a 2009 documentary that delves into the lives of the Monty Python comedy group, tracing their journey from birth to their current endeavors. The film explores their formative years, education, and early careers, featuring insights from contemporary comedians and performers who acknowledge the troupe's significant influence, such as Steve Coogan, Eddie Izzard, Russell Brand, and Bruce Dickinson. This marks the first time in over two decades that all five surviving members of Monty Python—John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin—have reunited for a project of this magnitude. The documentary also incorporates archival footage of the late Graham Chapman. Structured similarly to The Beatles Anthology, the series is divided into six parts. The first part examines the members' lives before Monty Python's Flying Circus, the second part covers their collaboration and the inception of Flying Circus, the third part addresses the end of Flying Circus, the fourth part details their transition to film with And Now for Something Completely Different and Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the fifth part focuses on The Life of Brian and the controversies it sparked, and the sixth part explores Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl, Monty Python's Meaning of Life, Graham Chapman's passing, and the members' subsequent individual projects, including Spamalot.
