Which musical artist was NOT mentioned as a funder of Monty Python's Flying Circus?

The correct answer is based on the historical context of Monty Python's Flying Circus and its funding sources. Monty Python's Flying Circus, a notable British sketch comedy television show that aired from 1969 to 1974, received financial support from several well-known figures in the music industry.

Elton John, Led Zeppelin, and Pink Floyd all had connections with the team behind Monty Python, contributing to the funding of the show and its associated projects, either through direct financial support or collaborative projects, such as contributing music or participating in promotional activities.

In contrast, The Beatles, while being one of the most influential and celebrated bands in music history, were not known to have provided funding or any direct support for Monty Python's Flying Circus. This distinction makes The Beatles the artist that was NOT mentioned as a funder of the show, highlighting the specific financial and creative connections that Monty Python had with other artists of that era.
