Michael Palin has to be the leading candidate for the kindest man ever. A true gentleman.
When I was twelve, my father took me out of school for an afternoon to go and meet him at a book signing. I’d grown up watching Around the World in 80 Days, and was becoming familiar with his comedy. He was one of the nicest people I’ve ever met, and I have no hesitation in saying that despite seeing him only for about three minutes. As an adult, I know people who have worked with him in television and they say the same. A wonderful man.
My fathers is Even more Gentle.
Hear! Hear! This man truly has a heart of gold.
I would say that there are thousands of people who take care of other people for pennies on a daily basis who are somewhat more selfless and amazingly kind people.
I know im randomly asking but does any of you know a method to get back into an Instagram account??
I was stupid lost the login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me!
Michael speaks so beautifully of his good friend. I feel deeply for his loss - out of all the Pythons, Michael was the closest to Terry. It breaks my heart to be reaching an age where I am seeing public figures who have always been part of my life pass away.
@Dennis Moore haha 'much sillier' that's great!
we're all in it together, it's incredible really
Who is your profile picture supposed to represent ?
@B W If Olsk was referring to my thumbnail, then yes indeed - Paul McCartney
They pass on, but they never pass away
As long as Python makes us laugh, these men will never truly die
Terry Jones was the best woman in the Monty Python Troupe.
You can see the sadness and loss in his eyes. So sorry that he lost his friend. Rest in peace Terry.
So terrifly sad. Yes, rest in peace, brilliant Terry.
Michael Palin, you’re a beautiful man. Terry would agree.
Well, Ofcourse! ..🤔
Here here
We all need a Michael Palin in our lives - wonderful man.
Michael Palin is so sweet and honest and genuinely sad. Terry Jones was truly a great comedian.
It is very sad that Terry Jones passed away :-( Dementia is a horrible thing. But what a wonderful friend Michael Palin must have been to him. Many thanks to all the Pythons (dead or still alive) for all the memorable moments they shared with us. From Germany.
He was a very good friend to Terry, they were quite close-- I read that, later on toward the end, when Terry could no longer speak and was always confused, he would reach out for Terry's hand and they would just sit and hold hands for quite a while. I'm sure that was a great comfort to Terry.
Two friends have to part,but the body of work they produced together and with the other pythons will be their comic legacy to all us fans. Terry also made a funny history program. Rest in peace terry
AGREED
My father has dementia. I've given up everything to care for him. It is a horrific illness. Even simple tasks such as telling the time, turning a key or going to the bathroom becomes a game of chess to the person with dementia. The worst thing about dementia for me is seeing everyone except a few bother to even ring let alone visit dad. Dad has always been a intelligent and caring man. Even his family except for myself have given dad no support. This just shows to me what a top notch guy Sir Michael Palin is being there so much for Terry Jones. Good for you Mr Palin you are one in a million.
There are two sides to every story.
Some of the time anyway,it is just so painful for the visitor to watch and endure,they just cannot do it. I had one uncle I cared about,and towards the end medical intervention did him no favours. His mind,the personality I knew,was gone,an unhappy and unpleasant one replaced him,his body failed,incontinence of both types humiliated him,the list went on. Sorry,but falling off a ladder 3 years earlier would have been a kindness. For all.
Another is the behaviour of the afflicted person. I live in an old folks home nowadays,and there are a few fellow residents who slowly become so unpleasant or difficult they wear out the welcome of even fellow residents on the floor willing to be patient and decent.
And then there are more nuanced stories. I have made a friend with an elderly Persian lady. I see to it we have the evening meal together. She has a son who lives perhaps ten miles away. He is unquestionably a fairly nasty piece of business who comes up with poor quality alibis why he should not help when needed,or visit. She is my friend,but wow she can be a pain. When she gets it into her head to be stubborn,the term pig headed comes to mind. And some of what she tells me is propaganda not both sides of a story.
Why she chose the difficult son to live near,not the veterinarian son who wanted her nearby ( her choice),makes no sense but that is what she did.
She and I are both better off for diet and company,but very soon indeed she should be in assisted living,but her response is Never. And I cannot care for her once her health and mobility get too bad.
As elderly adults,we do not always make good choices. As personalities also. And waiting lists make things worse.
Not to excuse those who should help but simply will not.
I've been there with both my parents, just different types of dementia. Please dont think badly of those who dont visit; a lot of time they don't know what to say. I've been in that position too, it's just just awful.
You can hold your head up high and know you're a good un xxx
Same boat, and yes that them (everyone disappearing) is a common trend. In my support group, that is something all the caregivers speak about. Sad, but there must be some psychological cause if its so common. Fear of death? A belief that since they won't remember it doesn't matter. Particular sad as they may have lost short term memory, but emotional memory is still their...when they have wonderful social days, their disease is less prominent. I pity anyone with dementia who has no one to help, what a curse.
@@paulmanson253 When my dearest uncle had dementia (and before he eventually passed away from it), I was the only one who kept up visits, which he cherished. I could see how much the music I'd bring meant to him. Once, when I was at his "memory unit," my sisters had already arrive (they were hardly ever there), the were kneeling on either side of his chair and he looked so confused and uncomfortable. He looked at me and said, "Hon, do we know these people?" I told him, yes, there were my sisters. They told me later they were sorry they hadn't been coming, especially when they saw that he recognized me and was happy to see me. Sometimes, we just give in to our own discomfort. It's a shame, I think he got a great deal from our visits, and I know that I did.
REST IN PEACE TERRY .Thanks for the laughs.
Terry Jones was a genius!
Yes, there is great sadness at the passing of Terry Jones. But there must also be some sense of relief from those who were close to him, as dementia is a cruel, cruel disease. Truth is, the man who died wasn't really the 'real' Terry Jones - his personality and intellect had been slowly destroyed over a period of years. I speak from experience, as my mother had dementia for 8 years and I saw what it had done to her. Death came as a blessing.
Dementia is one of the worst diseases because it takes the ability to communicate away from you. For people lik Terry it must torture. As much as this hurts I'm happy he's no longer suffering.
I know a man whose mother remained alive with Alzheimer's for 15 long years. The man was ruined and died of a heart attack 3 years after his mother. Humans should have a right to barbiturates, just as dogs.
I saw both parents tortured to death in slow-motion by the demon we call dementia. And being blue-collar (poor), in a Nursing Home as they required 'round the clock care; dreadful places. I believe we should be allowed to sign a legal document allowing ourselves to be put to sleep if we reach a point where we have no quality of life, no control of bodily functions, or effectively communicate.
@@anglomik I wholeheartedly agree. Although my mother's care home was excellent as far as care homes go, for the final six years of her life she just lay in her bed and stared at the ceiling. She was doubly incontinent, couldn't speak, feed herself, didn't know where she was, who she was and didn't know her family.
It was if her brain had been totally destroyed. Truth is, the person who had once been my mother effectively died in 2010, even although the body shell lingered on until 2016. I used to say that the potted plant on her window ledge had a higher IQ and a better quality of life than she did during those final, terrible, distressing years.
Had she known that was how she would end up I am 100% certain that she would have BEGGED AND PLEADED to be humanely put to sleep. Just as I would do if I knew I was going to suffer the same fate. And given that I am 74, I'm at the age when this is no longer an academic situation.
Will any of us be given the right to die with dignity and without suffering - a right that we happily give our pets? Not a cat-in-hell's chance of that happening (so to speak). For a start, the religious lobby - even in what is now a largely secular Britain - would be up in arms. So it aint never going to happen.
All I know is that if I am diagnosed dementia and have still enough of a brain left to realise the terrible fate that awaits me, then a trip to the pharmacy will be top of my 'must do' list.
@@clearlake3492 Trip to Zurich, not to "the pharmacy".
Terry Jones, co-writer of Ripping Yarns and writing partner of Michael Palin is no more. He has ceased to be. Bereft of life, he rests in peace. He's kicked the bucket, hopped the twig, bit the dust, snuffed it, breathed his last and gone to meet the great BBC in the sky. And I can solemnly say how sad it is for a man of such imagination, of such wit, and of such capability for kindness and such unusual intelligence should now be so suddenly spirited away at the age of only 77, when he achieved nearly all the things of which he was capable and, with Monty Python especially, when he had more than enough fun. Rest in peace, Mister Jones.
The news of Terry Jones' passing instantly brought me to tears, a feeling that's only a fraction of what Michael Palin must have felt.
I hope I don't offend you, as I don't know what your beliefs are, but I hope I can give you some comfort. I feel the same as you when someone I love passes.
I know that no one really dies. They just change bodies, from flesh back to spirit. We all meet again in that place at the end of Time where no shadows fall. Take hold of that and don't let go.
Bless you. 😇
Wonderful interview. She asked and she let him talk and remember his old friend
She was a wonderful and sympathetic interviewer. I really appreciated this tribute.
The interviewer will go far, she was totally there and got it
I dont want to live in a world with all those great artist,comedians, musicians gone...anyone agree? The* sense * is getting really blurry without all these guys
He truly was a wonderful friend. He stuck around even when things go really tough. That is the mark of true friendship. Bless him.
How nice to hear someone say, I will miss you.
Terry Jones and Michael Palin both sang beautifully.
They made us feel okay.
Being a lumberjack is okay.
Being sad and lonely is okay too.
That is the sad part of growing old you lose everything and everyone you love..and the worst about Dementia is you lose your Fondest memories as well..
Big love for Terry Jones the hardest working genius I've ever seen. From one of the millions of Python fans in the USA. God rest his beautiful soul.
So sad. As a Python fan I will miss Terry as well. But, you know, it's so touching to listen to how a dear friend, Michael Palin, will miss him too. We should all be so lucky to have friends that will miss us like that. I love you Terry Jones. Where ever you are I hope you're at peace.
I have to say that this was a great interview which I hope will live on and be shown for many years. The interviewer had no malice, showboating or nastiness in the questions. She handled it absolutely wonderfully in a way that has become far too rare.
I'll definitely give you that, very sensitively done.
This was a well-prepped and beautifully done interview - intelligent, respectful and compassionate to an interviewee in very real personal pain.... ❤❤ She brought out both the sorrow and the great joy of friendship...
Total class from Sir Michael Palin in this interview.....thank you Mr. Jones for all the laughs(and edification) you provided to your legions of fans over the years. Favourites: Mr Creosote sketch, "Storage jars",The Whizzo chocolate sketch, the Spam sketch, and of course the role of Brian's mother in "Life of Brian"....
Sir Palin you’re a so sensitive man, and so sweet, I think Terry was a so amazing man and a great companion to you! Love ❤️
What a terrific interviewer. Absolutely perfect. She cared. She listened.
Mr Jones, thank you for the wonderful "Crusades" series. RIP
What a lovely human being Michael is,I’ve always thought that and an interview like this confirms it.
My Mum died of Dementia a year ago now I looked after her for three years and it is the most awful thing that anyone can have to loose everything not just your memory but you dignity, mobility, not even to watch the television as they have no understanding of what is going on the list is endless, Sir Michael should be just happy for Terry that he has now been released from the hell of it all. It is so bad still from losing someone you've know all your life, God bless you both.
Terry Jones, Master of the Absurd - what greater acolade could there be?
I had the pleasure of briefly meeting Terry when coming back from being on live TV on CTV in Canada and he was in the green room. I stopped in my tracks, stunned. I thanked him for being such an inspiration, and we got a photo together that I will always treasure. Later, I realized that, although he was smiling throughout, he hadn't spoken a word. I found it odd. It was a year later that the announcement came out about his illness, and I just couldn't hold back the tears. Great man, gone too soon
What a gift for you!
I'm in tears this morning. Rest in peace Terry, you are so loved.
I'm right with you there brother, I'm crying listening tois such a sad thing it's losing a friend that I've had in my whole life that's what it seems like .
BD CEE yes brother, I watched Python on TV back in the seventies, if you missed an episode you had no idea of what anyone was talking about the next day..... so I kind of grew up with the divine silliness of Terry (thank goodness), and as I got older and more interested in history I gradually realised the all-round brilliance of the man. I’m happy to report that my kids and grandkids love him too, so the ripples he caused are still sloshing around.
@@petehouse8380 I'm a girl so you can call me sister or girlfriend course you could say yes brother, you or sister, it is therefore the onion and a new level right of every man or woman thank you what I'm trying to say is this really me my name is Chris, that picture is really I could just throttle my sister for making me take itlook at my hair it's dry, she threw a bucket of water on my shirt and then tookthe picture but I must have been a kind of like it, I've always hated my areolas until I saw that
If someone doesn't have someone something nice to say about my breasts please don't say anything at all then. I am quite sensitive as bout them
And I don't appreciate the one comment who I've blockedwho said my breasts look like burger meat and I thought that was a disgusting thing to say and it took me awhile to even come back on to UA-cam after that
My grandfather, a talented wood carver, stone carver, writer of poetry, composer of music, conductor, musician, singer/song writer, watching this talented man get dementia, me, my family, and most especially my grandmother, watched all of these passions and talents were stripped from him was agonizing to watch. My grandmother, after the seven year battle with this, upon his death, said, with relief, that she was so glad that he no longer has to suffer being the shell of the man he was, to be unable to do what he loved, unable to understand why, and angry that he couldn't. It's never easy to watch someone go, but memory loss is one of the most painful ways for any observer; you never forget it.
so utterly sad to lose Terry so young! but so incredible and wonderful him and Micheal and Terry G found each other and enjoyed all those years of writing together and loving each other. too many people focus on marriage and romantic relationships and forgets to focus on the absolute supernature of incredibly close platonic friendships. to be in love with our friends also a true joy in this life. much love to Terry's family and dear Micheal who I still have a crush on after all these years
I really hope all of the Pythons know how incredibly special they are to so many. Their wit, humour and compassion remain unsurpassed and likely always will. The Life Of Brian is a true masterpiece that works at so many levels, perfection. Thank you all.
I'll see Terry & all the Python boys every year for the remainder of my days, as I watch their work on a regular basis (I call it therapy). Sympathy to Mr. Jones family & friends.
What life gives us, it also takes it away. Be in the moment, be grateful.
So true. I know my own fate already and I'm making sure my friends and family know what _"I love you"_ really means.
Mr Paylin so elequent about his good friend Terry Jones. A friendship that we can only dream of. You just want to hug Micheal as you can see how much he is hurting. RIP the legend that was Terry Jones.
Bless poor Michael Palin - this has hit him very hard, understandably. Tough to see somebody upset like that when all you’ve seen of him for decades has been with fun and laughter.
Beautiful friendship they had and Michael’s honoring of Terry is a real tear jerker. I’ll miss Terry’s take on life.
Beautiful tribute. I've had a crush on Michael Palin for literally as long as I can remember. He's such a good person and I'm glad he was there for Terry until the end.
Michael Palin is my hero.
The python legends are part of my life. And always will be.
Monty Python, and Terry Jones is one of the reasons I am happy in my life...
For the commentary section, Terry actually never ever had forgotten anything. He remembered his friends and family until the end. He had a special type of dementia which doesn't affect your memory but mainly your ability to talk and your personality
It is so hard to say good by to a pal you've known for so long. Enjoy the memories and try not to be so sad. It's hard though.
Sorry for your loss and my condolences to Terrey’s family. Thanks you for the many good times and laughs you and Terry gave me and my friends, it really means a lot.
That escapist Tchaikovsky thing was and is one of my favorite Python bits, too.
With age I started really understanding that it's so important to do, enjoy, live and try to use our time in a nice way, because one day you turn around a moment and your life is half gone.
It’s not the time you had ‘it’s the memories that counts
Thank these comedic geniuses for the joy, and wisdom, they have brought to our lives. "Be open. Be honest. Share things."
So sad R. I. P. XXX he has a great bunch of people as friends, lovely bunch xxx
It's bad enough to suddenly lose someone you're close to in your life, but to watch someone's decline over time till they pass is REALLY heartbreaking. When they do pass it's more of a blessing, because you know they're no longer suffering, yet at the same time the loss we feel is tough to deal with, and you can see it in Michaels eyes.
So genuine. Michael was a person in this interview. Not a famous entertainer, but a person, like any of us. And we all know what it’s like to lose a dear friend and soulmate. Thank you, Michael, and thank you, Terry for all the joy you two have brought me.
well that just kicked me in the feels. thanks for everything.
I grew with all these people part of my life. Hard to believe it was all so long ago.
Akane Cortich same here since mid 70’s they enriched my life
I feel compelled to give praise to the interviewer. Apart from being beautiful, she seems genuinely interested and puts the questions to Michael in very sensitive way. Well done! 🙂
Lovely words about the loss of an old friend.
What beautiful words , the loss is heartfelt , they were obviously more than just friends , they were brothers. Rest in peace.
Very sad news, but many thanks to all of the Pythons for the happy memories and for making the world a better place.
That was a truly lovely interview.
My grandmother had it, and so did a few of my good friends. They're all gone now, but that's life isn't it? Michael looked at it in a very healthy way. He had, and will always have, a deep respect for this friend.
You know it's true. If you can have just one genuinely true friend through life, you're lucky!
Alzheimers takes everything from you, long before it takes your life. Terry Jones died years ago, only the shell has finally quit working. Tragic that it happened to such a man. I feel for his friends and family having witnessed the brutality of the disease first hand. You are never given the chance to grieve, only shame, because in the end it's just relief that it's over.
Rest In Peace, Terry Jones. You were the wisest of King Arthur's knights.
'This new learning amazes me. Explain again, how sheep's bladder may be employed to prevent earthquakes.'
It’s such a sad thing. Palin is a sweet man and hilarious. My favourite Python.
Also, interviewer is hawtttttt.
I am completely humbled to have found out a signature I obtained from Terry in 2018 was the last item he signed. Terry's PA organised it for me and it now takes on a very personal meaning for me. The world will miss TJ!
Looking deeply touched
Terry Jones saved the Python tapes by buying them with his own money.
The BBC was very close wiping those tapes so thay could do something else with them.
We are forever in his debt for this.
The world gets darker,we will never have again,what we had,each passing is another light out!
Beautifully worded
It is terribly difficult to decide, but Jones was ultimately my favorite member of the group.
I worked with Terry only once. Filming him at the BFI in around 2003 as cameraman for a Missing presumed wiped documentary for the BBC. It’s an odd thing when you meet and work with a childhood hero, You just don’t really know what they will be really like.
Terry was the most accommodating,kind, funny and relaxed man. I was so happy to have had that opportunity.
So sad. Palin grew up and was born about a mile from where I grew up. He's a good man.
I greatly admired Terry Jones both for his comedy but also his love of history.
Saw Palin at the Philadelphia Library and his conversational routine was delightful. Terry was so very talented, they all were. R.I.P. Terry Jones.
Tragic that a man so well-versed in language and laughter should meet such a fate which removed both.
Beautifully done!
Terry your a genius Michael sorry for your loss of your friend and thanks for all the comedy that’s right Michael you have terrific memories 🌹
A real person with real feelings. Michael is a very kind and honest man. Graceful.
A really, really good interview. Thank you for this.
It’s very hard to watch the people who brought you so much laughter, go away with time.
60 year friendship of such depth and humor - should we all be so lucky.
God bless you Michael and your friend Terry you brought so much to many people and made our lives better.
I've had the opportunity to meet Michael a couple of times. He is genuinely a very nice man.
Beautiful tribute to your much loved friend and in the end,we all meet our much loved friends and loved ones again one day in heaven.god bless him .amen x
Wonderfull tribute to a great person by a great person. These are the people we should remember and look up to, as an inspiration
Such a sad ending for such a brilliant writer, historian, actor and comedian.
I watched a clip of the 02 show recently and shortly there were tears running down my eyes. I had watched these guys perform my whole life. Life wont be the same without them. I wish I had a chance to see a live show.
Naughty wit,compassion and friendship from Michael,that's what is all about
Man, I remember this guy when we were BOTH young!!
What a loss. God bless.
John Cleese speaking of Terry Jones -
"What Terry doesn't seem to understand, is that the Welsh are a subject race... Put on this earth to serve the English" 😂
So many memories, so much laughter... Gone but not forgotten... RIP Terry...
I laughed longer and louder because of Terry.
Thank you and RIP.
Moving and Heartfelt tribute , Thank you Michael Palin. Dementia is a horrible disease that no one or family shouldn't have to go through. I lost my Grandma to Alzheimer's four years ago, I've been an volunteer and advocate for the Alzheimer's Association for 9 years. We must find a cure to end this disease soon. Strength and healing prayers to the Jones family, The Python family (Eric, John, Michael and Terry Gillam) , Terry Jones' friends and fans. Very devastating loss that left a hole in our hearts. Thank you Terry Jones for bringing us your humor, kindness, and wit.
Life is such a pisser. No one gets out alive. Terry Jones was someone who grew on me, I was really getting interested in him and now he's gone - damn!
Humanity.
Such an innocent figure of youth Palin was in the Castle Anthrax.
To see the same person (really the same person?) at this later stage of life, reflecting on the passing of his friend.
Kinda sums everything up.
Spank me.
Thanks to Terry, thanks to Michael, thanks to all the Pythons. They defined life for so many of us. And thanks to this interviewer for setting the right tone and not interrupting, which so many interviewers seem keen to do these days. Dignified and heartwarming.
Trouble finding words but I see that sadness in his eyes.. it’s heartbreaking 💔
He was a real talent, and wise in the ways of science.
Id be so happy if we could choose who went and who stayed, i think everyone would be so happy if we could
Terry was so brilliant. For us, to see him slowly lose that part of himself was so hard, and I can't imagine how horrible it was for those who knew him.
But he was still always Michael's friend, and Michael put him first and made time for him. He's such a good man. There's very few "great" men who are still good men. Michael was one, and Terry another.
Such a talented and versatile troupe. Love these men.
I grew up and grew old with the Python team, and we are now at that time in our lives when each new day is a bonus. But on the other side of life when it finally comes we have all those people waiting to welcome us back into the family, So when you're feeling down over missed loved ones think of that with a smile on your face. Works for me.
aaaannnndddd Always look on the bright side of life ....
