Is the TV show Monty Python's Fliegender Zirkus available on Netflix, Disney+, Prime or Apple TV+?

Monty Python's Fliegender Zirkus (1972) is a curious, film-shot detour from the troupe’s usual TV work: two 45-minute German television specials produced by WDR, first aired in January and December 1972 and shot mostly on location in Bavaria. True to the Pythons’ brand of surreal sketchcraft — expect absurd sight gags, oddball characters and a hint of the Ministry of Silly Walks in a distinctly Bavarian setting — the first episode was recorded in German, the second in English and then dubbed into German. The specials are more a cult oddity than a mainstream awards magnet and are not known to have won major prizes. As for streaming, availability of Fliegender Zirkus varies by country: Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video and Apple TV+ may carry it in some regions but not others.
