On a Monty Python you were not able to watch for two decades in some places in the UK: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/glasgow_and_west/8126490.stm
Councillors in Glasgow have lifted an unofficial 30-year-old ban on the Monty Python film The Life of Brian.
The council's licensing and regulatory committee approved a request on Tuesday from Glasgow Film Theatre to show the biblical satire under a 15 certificate.
Glasgow was one of 39 local authorities in the UK that refused to grant the film a general release in 1979.
Opponents said the film, about a Jewish man who is mistaken for the Messiah and crucified, was blasphemous.
