About Ripping Yarns

Following an initial pilot episode in January 1976, it ran for two subsequent series of five and three episodes in October 1977 and October 1979 respectively.

Ripping Yarns runs for 2 seasons, created by Michael Palin and Terry Jones. Every episode page keeps the show's order, so you can watch from the pilot to the finale without hunting for the next link. Episodes are bought individually for 1 credit.
