Given the question: What type of details about monty python  can be gathered from the following bio?  Bio: monty python -lrb- sometimes known as the pythons -rrb- were a british surreal comedy group who created the sketch comedy show `` monty python 's flying circus '' , that first aired on the bbc on 5 october 1969 . forty-five episodes were made over four series . the python phenomenon developed from the television series into something larger in scope and impact , spawning touring stage shows , films , numerous albums , several books , and a stage musical . the group 's influence on comedy has been compared to the beatles ' influence on music . broadcast by the bbc between 1969 and 1974 , `` flying circus '' was conceived , written and performed by its members graham chapman , john cleese , terry gilliam , eric idle , terry jones , and michael palin . loosely structured as a sketch show , but with an innovative stream-of-consciousness approach -lrb- aided by gilliam 's animation -rrb- , it pushed the boundaries of what was acceptable in style and content . a self-contained comedy team responsible for both writing and performing their work , the pythons had creative control which allowed them to experiment with form and content , discarding rules of television comedy . their influence on british comedy has been apparent for years , while in north america it has coloured the work of cult performers from the early editions of `` saturday night live '' through to more recent absurdist trends in television comedy . `` pythonesque '' has entered the english lexicon as a result . in a 2005 uk poll to find `` the comedian 's comedian '' , three of the six pythons members were voted by fellow comedians and comedy insiders to be among the top 50 greatest comedians ever : cleese at # 2 , idle at # 21 , and palin at # 30 .
