Monty Python in Hands of CPLG Worldwide

PPC Enterprises has announced a sub-agency deal for the Monty Python brand to be represented worldwide by CPLG. The territories include France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy and Canada. This adds to an existing representation deal with Stella Projects that covers Australia and New Zealand.

The Monty Python brand celebrates its 40th anniversary this year and this has led to a flurry of activity. Sony is due to release a DVD box set containing Monty Python and the Holy Grail, The Life of Brian, Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life, Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl and Now for Something Completely Different. A one-off Python stage show, starring Eric Idle, is set for London’s Royal Albert Hall on October 23 and a new Python documentary is also due for theatrical and DVD release later this year, followed by a TV broadcast around the world. PPC’s licensing program in the UK includes voice key chains, dress-up, branded T-shirts, skill-with-prize machines, and greeting cards.
