Other initiatives include the release of 50th anniversary editions of a number of official Monty Python books.
A statement issued on behalf of the group said that a “BBC takeover” in September would feature previously unreleased material from the Monty Python sound archives.
Meanwhile on television, BBC Two will celebrate Monty Python with “defining career pieces” from the archives.
The troupe’s legions of fans of all generations can also look forward to what has been billed as the “first official Monty Python Guinness world record attempt”, which will take place on the anniversary date itself, 5 October.
