A 90-minute, made-for-TV comedy film focusing around the controversy that surrounded ''Film/MontyPythonsLifeOfBrian''. The film is based around real life events, and centres around an infamous television debate on the ''Friday Night, Saturday Morning'' show that Creator/JohnCleese and Creator/MichaelPalin participated in against prominent critic and broadcaster (and devout Anglo-Catholic) Malcolm Muggeridge and Mervyn Stockwood, the then-Bishop of Southwark -- both of whom, it later transpired, had missed the beginning of the film, in particular the scenes that make it explicit that Brian is not Jesus, and who spent more time during the actual debate making cheap jibes against the comedians rather than attempting to rebut their arguments. However, these events are depicted in an irreverent, surreal and -- dare we say -- Pythonesque fashion, interspersed with {{non sequitur}}s, sketches and animation.

* SupportingProtagonist: While the movie is about the Pythons as a group, most of the movie focusses on Michael Palin with John Cleese as a secondary character, and the others are mainly treated as this. However, the film frequently uses their actors in other roles as their original sketch show did, the implication being that the other Pythons are playing these parts (for example, Palin's wife is played by Rufus Jones as Terry Jones).

* ImagineSpot: After the interview, Michael angrily gets into a cab where the driver recognises him... and begins complaining about how offended he was by ''Life of Brian'', causing Michael to finally explode. It's revealed to be one of these when it cuts back to Michael sitting in the cab when the driver recognises him... and amiably says that Michael happens to be his wife's favourite of the Pythons.
