Propstore’s auction gives fans and collectors from around the world an incredible one-of-a-kind opportunity to own a piece of their historic final reunion, along with rare treasures from the personal archive of the brilliant and beloved Python, Terry Gilliam.”

Legendary Monty Python actor, Sir Michael Palin, commented: “Monty Python Live (mostly) at the O2 was the show to end all Python shows. Bigger, brassier, bolder than anything we'd done before. The reception was amazing. We kept adding shows. Two became three, three became five, five became 10. None of us had ever experienced an audience reaction on that scale, proving conclusively that it is possible to be silly after 70. We couldn’t better that show and since the sad death of Terry Jones, we must admit that the O2 show was Python’s farewell. But thanks to the auction the costumes and some of the props can be passed on, hopefully to Python’s greatest and most loyal fans."
