Reel Histories: 3: Monty Python and the Holy Grail

on BBC Radio 4 FM

Last in a series comparing movie versions of history with the real events.

The Python team's adventures in medieval Britain are the starting point for the genuine history of Arthur and the dubious legend of his Knights of the Round Table. Gerry Northam journeys to Avalon and pieces together the few clues we have about this shadowy historical figure, who might have existed 1,500 years ago.
