THE Monty Python team have added a further five dates to their comeback - after five other shows sold out in less than an hour.

The comics, who last week announced they were making a live return after three decades, will give the extra performances at the same venue, London's O2 Arena.

They will take place on July 15, 16, 18, 19 and 20. More than 70,000 tickets for the other shows went in 55 minutes when they went on sale on Monday.
