I inherited this project nearly by joining it.
I will suppose the creator thought to themselves as I did, well what do I do after the 6 cast members are added?
My solution is to expand, to include the creations, creators and participants birthed from the show.
Anything directly from the participants and creators in the films and operas of Terry Jones and Gilliam. The television series of John Cleese, Michael Palin and Eric Idle.

-MONTY PYTHON-
Broadcast by the BBC between 1969 and 1974, Monty Python's Flying Circus was conceived, written and performed by its members Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin.
Loosely structured as a sketch show, but with an innovative stream-of-consciousness approach aided by Gilliam's animation. Pushing the boundaries of what was acceptable in style and content. A self-contained comedy team responsible for both writing and performing their work. The Pythons had creative control which allowed them to experiment with form and content, discarding rules of television comedy.
Following their television work, they began making films, including Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975), Life of Brian (1979) and The Meaning of Life (1983).
Which ultimately encouraged the Pythons, to branch out individually
Their influence on British comedy has been apparent for years, while in North America. It has coloured the work of cult performers from the early editions of Saturday Night Live through to more recent absurdist trends in television and film comedy.
"Pythonesque" has entered the English lexicon as a result.
