La radio: modelli, ascolto, programmazione

Barbara Fenati, Alessandra Scaglioni
Carocci editore

Allo sviluppo della radio non ha corrisposto in Italia un'adeguata produzione di studi al di fuori di quelli di carattere storico. Questo libro si propone quindi di trattare tutti i temi centrali per un'analisi complessiva del mezzo: i modelli e il loro contesto sociale, la differenziazione dei formati, le logiche della programmazione e della produzione, le abitudini di ascolto, i meccanismi della pubblicità.

Tutti pazzi per Neri (con DVD)

Neri Marcorè
Rizzoli

Una carrellata dei personaggi più noti ed esilaranti del popolare attore comico Neri Marcorè. I documentari sul tutto e il nulla di Alberto Angela, gli imperdibili consigli di vita dello psicologo Morelli, le analisi politiche stralunate di Maurizio Gasparri; e poi Moggi, Fassino, Schifani, Ligabue, Zapatero... I suoi fortunati sketch televisivi, con Serena Dandini ("Pippo Chennedy Show" e "L'ottavo nano"), ma anche le irresistibili incursioni nelle trasmissioni firmate Gialappa's band che l'hanno reso noto al grande pubblico come straordinario e dissacrante entertainer.

The first 200 years of Monty Python

Kim Johnson
Plexus

In this exhaustive celebration of the Python Phenomenon, Kim 'Howard' Johnson offers insights into their careers and working methods through outlines, plots, anecdotes, interviews and individual profiles, drawing on his own experience as a devoted and persistent Python fan.

The Pythons

AA.VV.
St. Martin's Press

Over thirty years ago, a group of five Englishmen and one wayward American, re-wrote the rules of comedy. Monty Python's Flying Circus, an unheralded, previously unseen and practically unprogrammed half hour of sketches, hilarities, inanities and animations first appeared on the BBC late one night in 1969. Its impact on the world has been felt ever since.

From its humble beginnings as late night entertainment on a British TV channel that went off the air before midnight, it blossomed into arguably the most influential movement in modern comedy. They found the Holy Grail, they detailed the life of the Savior-also-ran Brian, and when we were lost, they explained The Meaning of Life.

Now, those purveyors of dead parrots and silly walks are going to tell us something more: Their story. In their own, intimate, never before heard words.

The Pythons by The Pythons is the definitive word on all things Pythonesque (the only word invented by a modern comedian which is listed in the Oxford English Dictionary.) 30 years of insight, hindsight, and bad sight - now told for the first time. Stuff they're never remembered before alongside stories they'd forgotten to say, coupled with things they couldn't say then and even more things they can't pronounce now (with a healthy dollop of things they would never have said in the first place if any others had been in the room at the time.)

The Pythons by The Pythons is a unique look at arguably the most important comic team of the modern age, lavishly illustrated with 1000 photographs and illustrations, many culled from the teams' own personal collections, many seen here for the first time. A tome, a tombstone, the definitive word on all things Python, as told by all things Python - do you want Spam with that?

The life of Python

George Perry
Pavilion Books

George Perry takes a fresh look at the past achievements of the Monty Python team, tracing their progress from student days, through the heady times of the Flying Circus, right up to the most recent events in their lives. Despite the completion of the fourth and final series in 1974, the Python's have remained at the forefront of the entertainment business, spanning many different media. Their careers may change direction but all are informed by the same irreverence and humour which marked their early work.

***WINNER OF THE 1989 PYTHON PRIZE FOR THEIR OWN BOOKS***

The complete scripts from the four Monty Python series, first shown on BBC television between 1969 and 1974, have been collected in two companion volumes.

Characters' names, often not spoken, are given as in the original scripts, along with the names of the actual performer added on their first appearance in each sketch.

This second volume contains twenty-two classic episodes, featuring some of the most entertaining writing to have gone into television anywhere. The minister of silly walks, the dead parrot, banter in a cheese shop - here is every silly, satirical skit, every snide insult, every saucy aside.
