What was the final aired episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus called?

The final aired episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus was called “Party Political Broadcast.” It was broadcast on BBC Two on 5 December 1974 as episode 45, closing the show's four-series run.

The title parodies the formal political broadcasts that interrupted British television schedules. The episode uses that framing for a collection of sketches, including “Most Awful Family in Britain,” “Icelandic Honey Week,” “Patient Abuse,” “Brigadier and Bishop,” and “The Man Who Finishes Other People's Sentences.”

“Patient Abuse” is particularly notable because Graham Chapman co-wrote it with Douglas Adams, who later created The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The finale also included announcements referring to a party political broadcast on behalf of the Liberal Party.

The other choices are episode titles from the final series but not the finale: “Michael Ellis” is episode 40, “Hamlet” is episode 43, and “Mr. Neutron” is episode 44. The programme ended after 45 episodes across four series.
