Though not much Python memorabilia but here is what I have:

1. 39 episodes of "Flying Circus"
2. "The Meaning of Life" movie
3. "Around the World in 80 Days" with Eric Idle.

It's really annoying, but the actual episodes of Monty Python are not available in the UK! We've got some 'best of' compilations floating around, but that's it. Mind you, the R1 DVD releases are slightly edited, so I'm waiting to see if there's a definitive collection released eventually. I've got the movies, and the MP Live and Life of Python DVDs, plus Jabberwocky - great film! Since you're mostly an Eric fan I suppose you're less interested in things like that one though? Or Wanda?

The CDs are best, I guess, for an Eric fan. Ones like Monty Python Sings!, which is a terrific compilation. Eric is particularly talented in the musical side of things. I haven't got the new Python Autobiography yet, but I must get around to it! Apparently it's very good. Graham Chapman's autobiography is one of my favourite books. Nice, if sad, afterword by Eric.

Hi from New Zealand,

In reply to Mickey, even though they are not available at the moment, all 45 episodes of Monty Python's Flying Circus were released on video in the UK.

Series 1 was released by BMG on 4 videos (serial numbers BMG 74321 19332 3 through to BMG 74321 19335 3).

Series 2 was released by BBC on 4 videos (serial numbers BBCV 4145 through to BBCV 4148).

Series 3 was released by BMG on 4 videos (serial numbers BMG 74321 20543 3 through to BMG 74321 20546 3).

Series 4 was released by BMG on 2 videos (serial numbers BMG 74321 20547 3 and BMG 74321 20548 3).

Plus the specials (English and German versions) of Monty Python's Fliegender Zirkus was released by Guerilla Films (serial number GFL 107).

All of the above was imported into New Zealand from the UK. Looks like you need to be a bit quicker, the next time they are released!

What I am looking for is anything post-Python and like any interviews with the members either as a group and/or individually??

EricIdleFan, why send PM's if you can't receive them?!

A while ago a book was published called The Pythons Autobiography, By The Pythons. It was based on a series of recorded interviews, which are now available to buy on cassette or CD. They're certainly available in the UK, don't know about elsewhere, so look at amazon.co.uk. Of course Graham is a different matter, but there's a wonderful interview with him on the Holy Grail DVD, and also the Life Of Brian one.
