"Monty Python’s Flying Circus" (series) by Monty Python – ****

First released: 1969

All of The Beatles were big fans of this series with Ringo actually appearing at the tail end of one of the episodes. George was probably the hugest fan of the four, ultimately financing their Life of Brian feature and producing a version of "The Lumberjack Song", among other things.

Python Eric Idle also created and produced his masterful Beatles parody, The Rutles, and George also appeared on Idle’s "Rutland Weekend Television" performing "The Pirate Song".
