The 7th Python: A Twat’s Tale

The 7th Python: A Twat’s Tale is Mark Forstater's memoir chronicling his early collaborations with Monty Python, the making of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and the decades-later legal struggle over contractual royalties.

Forstater combines behind-the-scenes anecdotes about the comedy troupe with reflections on creativity, friendship, and betrayal.

The narrative describes the emotional and physical toll of prolonged litigation and how philosophical practices helped him cope.

Through candid storytelling, the book examines the costs of creative collaboration and the persistence required to seek justice in the entertainment industry.

It offers both an insider's view of classic British comedy and a personal account of resilience.
