Monty Python’s 1972 philosophers’ football match — in which the players were too lost in thought over 89 minutes to actually kick the ball — will be remembered in a 9 May London match featuring academics and comedians. “Python represents a coherent, Anglo-Saxon take on existentialism. French thinkers…recognised the absurdity of life, but it took the English Pythons to show that the right response is to laugh at it.” (Julian Baggini/The Guardian)
