After a compilation of Python sketches won a second place prize at the Montreux Festival in 1971, Alfred Biôlek, a producer from Bavaria Films, contacted Ian MacNaughton to propose a Python show for German television, launching "Monty Python's Fliegender Zirkus."
The Pythons ended up filming two 45-minute shows for Bavarian television, very close in style to the BBC series (except that both episodes were shot entirely on film, with no live studio audience). "Monty Python's Fliegender Zirkus" was mostly all-new material, with only a few hints of their BBC work (Michael Palin does sing "The Lumberjack Song" in German). Terry Gilliam also contributed new animation, as well as opening titles that simply replaced English with German.
The first episode was performed in German, a language most of the Pythons could not actually speak. Dialogue, which had been translated for them into German, was recited parrot-fashion or read off cue cards.
"We sort of gaily said, 'Oh, we'll learn it phonetically,'" said Terry Jones. "It was only when we were doing the first shot when the full impact of what we were trying to do suddenly hit us, when Mike was having to be an Australian talking about the hinterbacken das ein kangaroo – the rectum of a kangaroo – and realizing you had to talk Parrot German with an Australian accent! We suddenly realized we had bitten off more than we could chew."
When it came to shoot the second episode, the German producers requested that it be shot in English – not because the Pythons' German was so bad, but because the first German-language film couldn't be sold to other territories. (David Morgan)
