Monty Python's The Life of Brian is a classic British film and it comes as a bit of a shock to find that it's still banned by a number of local authorities across Britain - it doesn't feel 'British' this banning of a satirical film.
Torquay is one of these authorities. It calls itself the centre of the English Riviera and ironically is the home of John Cleese's small minded comedy creation Basil Fawlty in the TV sit-com Fawlty Towers who perhaps typifies the mentality that has seen Torquay taking all these years to lift their ban.
Perhaps other authorities will now follow suit and welcome Brian into their towns.
