Monty Python's Fliegender Zirkus consisted of two 45-minute Monty Python German television comedy specials produced by WDR for West German television. The two episodes were first broadcast in January and December 1972 and were shot entirely on film and mostly on location in Bavaria, with the first episode recorded in German and the second recorded in English and then dubbed into German.

Monty Python return for their second and last German special. Doing the lines in German proved too difficult for most of them the first time, so this time they did it in English. This was of course dubbed for German television - strangely that version is a rather different cut with extra sketches.
The Monty Python team was invited to Germany to make a comedy special. For the first episode, they actually spoke their lines in German.
