Not the Messiah (He's a Very Naughty Boy) Audio CD [2009]

To commemorate the 40th anniversary of the original Monty Python television program, Eric Idle, Michael Palin, Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam appeared in a remount of the full, 90-minute version of Not the Messiah at the Royal Albert Hall on October 23, 2009. When interviewed about this production, Idle commented: "It is rare you get to be silly on a mass scale." BBC Radio 3 also broadcast a recording of this performance on New Year's Day 2010 with the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Chorus conducted by John du Prez. Idle reprised his role, as did Mercer that of Judith, while the other soloists were William Ferguson as Brian, Rosalind Plowright as Mandy and Christopher Purves as Reg.
