Featured review
Brilliant!
As 'Away From It All' starts, we think we are going to be watching an ordinary travelogue - only the fact that John Cleese is doing the voice-over gives us pause and the thought that this might be something other than 'welcome to Rome ...'.
Slowly we hear sarcasm moving in, then complete and utter anarchy, hysteria, and finally ...
Wonderful stuff which has been rarely seen since it accompanied 'Life of Brian' in cinema screenings. Although it currently languishes in copyright hell, which means a DVD release as a special feature would be unlikely, it is now easily available online.
Do watch it if you are in any way a Cleese or Python fan.
