This shouldn't be surprising, really:
BBC bosses were secretly appalled when Monty Python's Flying Circus first aired, finding it ‘sadistic’ and ‘disgusting’.

The papers also reveal that John Cleese considered quitting after just one series and that Terry Gilliam was almost dropped in a dispute over pay.
