Yes, some of it will age, but a lot of it still remains. I found The Birds somewhat funny when I read it, and it’s, what, 2200 years old now?
While some Python sketches are funny, I’ve read that the BBC felt the series as a whole wasn’t funny enough to re-run.
I have the full boxed set of the TV series and have watched it through. I don’t blame them for not re-running the whole thing (it’s huge!), and it’s also not very ‘dense’. But I think if they were willing to edit it down, it could be competitive. Some of the Python sketches are very funny.
