Synopsis
In 1979 the Monty Python comedy team return from making their film 'Monty Python's Life of Brian' in Tunisia. The film is pilloried by ultra-right religious groups for its depiction of Christ. Death threats follow and Michael Palin - "the nicest man in Britain" - has his effigy burned on his front lawn. Finally crazed TV programmer Alan Dick persuades Palin and co-star John Cleese to defend the picture on a late night chat show against the Bishop of Southwark and religious commentator Malcolm Muggeridge.
