Delve deep into Monty Python's personal dynamics, from Graham Chapman's coming out and alcoholism to John Cleese's decision to leave the troupe.

The members recollect their quest to move from TV to the big screen with "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," a production that had its share of issues.

The genesis of "The Life of Brian" takes center stage, including the backlash over its supposed blasphemy and how George Harrison saved the day.
