  • "First published in Great Britain in 1983" is likely stated in the copyright section on page [127].
  • First edition of the movie's episodes scripts according to Amazon.co.uk and to the 1993 German edition.
  • This entry is for the initial printing.
  • The book is copiously illustrated with movie stills.
  • Page [127] likely lists the cast of the film in order of appearance and the major persons of the movie's staff; it likely also has the copyright section of the book.
  • The end of the book likely is taken by a letter exchange between John Cleese and the managing editor (as of 1982) of the newspaper The Sun; it is concerned with a seemingly misattributed question by Cleese.
  • The cover art likely isn't credited, but Gilliam is for the animations on the title page.
  • Data from OCLC/WorldCat and the assumed second printing from 1990; day of publication from Amazon.co.uk as of 2024-08-29.
