These are fantastic. John Cleese and Michael Palin are excellent. Funny and great story tellers on their own even without any set ups or writing. Thanks Don.
When I worked with Cleese on a film, many years ago, he asked if I had seen Clockwise, I hadn't at the time, but, I had been trying to locate a copy to watch. He told me that he thought they had done it "right" up until the ending. I was bummed out that I wasn't able to discuss it with him because I hadn't found a copy of it. After getting one, I think his comment to me was correct.
John used to rent a room in my house and told me he thought Clockwise was rather shit in parts. I'd already seen the film when he first rented my spare room from me in 1989 and I thought it was a mediocre film at best but I lied and said it was a masterpiece of mirth. Although, I'm unsure John believed me.
Cool to hear a very premature mention of Wanda in Jan 86. Also he must have had his hair transplant in between this and Wanda as I'm sure he's got a nice full barnet in it!!
Ouch. John jokes about Terry Jones not being to dress himself anymore. Little did he know that that would be his fate in the future (he has dementia now).
8:20 The patient in bed is played by legendary British actor Geoffrey Palmer (1927-2020), remembered for his famous role as Lionel Hardcastle on the long-running BBC comedy As Time Goes By with Dame Judy Dench.
In 1986, John Cleese underestimated the British public here at 2:15 - He said they sussed out Margaret Thatcher. Yes, and the following year re-elected her with over a 100 seat majority in the House of Commons.
It's been an original mission of mine for some years to find references to Woody Allen and John Cleese together in the same piece of fiction, television appearance or other form of connection. This clip has proven a wonderful surprise with regards to this quest.
40HZ white light at the eyes for 20 min daily. Infrared 810nm shone into the frontal lobes at 10HZ for 10 min every 3 days. After 3 weeks 50-60% better than before. This is no joke but not many are doing it yet.
extremely sad when john makes the joke about "terry jones not being able to dress himself anymore" and now the poor guy cant recognize his friends of 50 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
English is not my native language. I did not pick up what Cleese said at the end of the NY Bar IQ joke..."what are we going to talk about..." "I don´t know... have you been ?????? recently"???
@@deederange ha, thank you. Now that you said it, it sounds quite clear. Know those "you can´t unsee it" memes? Like that, but "can´t unlisten it" lol.

They seem to play a lot of Beatles tunes during commercial breaks.
proudfootz they usually do when there is a British guest I think
"Taxman" by the Beatles (written by George Harrison, who put up money for "The Life of Brian" and several other Python-related projects)
5:25 For Your Love (Yardbirds)
If you've seen everything that Pythons have done check out Palin's Ripping Yarns , it's Palin unbridled
Thank U for these videos!
Ends the show, grabs his cigar, and takes off his suit jacket: 27:10
Brilliant! Cleese has just completed a comic masterpiece in Clockwise and he hardly mentions it.
Sherry glasses 😂
Since 1986, I watch this movie, at least twice per year and still discovering the great value of this movie.
I lol'ed at the bar joke.

That's British actor Geoffrey Palmer _(As Time Goes By)_ in the Cleese clip.
Clockwise was a great movie vehicle for John Cleese
These are so cool :)
"...ghastly old bat."
Quite good. Thanks very much.
Its so funny how they just make point of talking about how much they hate Dave's show and how much you can see it getting under his skin.
2:25 I love that they’re discussing the Westland Affair
I love Palin. I would love to work with him.

1:52 John Cleese just predicted Terry Jones Dementia
Cheese invented Inward Talking, JB invented Inward Singing.

Was the first Cleese segment recorded on January 28, 1986? That was the day of the Challenger explosion.
It was. Dave mentioned the explosion at the top of the show.
Cleese could’ve made a fortune just reciting Shakespeare.
It's "Taxman" by The Beatles. Thanks sweet pickle, I can go to bed now knowing what the tune they were playing in honour of Cleese.
he was becoming the astute comedian he is today
Was it in Cleese's contract to not have any walk on music? Seems there's several things that come to mind that could be used.
John Cleese advocating proportional representation 36 years ago.
We could've really done with that in the UK in the last 2 years.
John Cheese 😁Prince Butter cup. No is Fawlty . Just John. Wonderful. A little bit of everything and everyone. Including Hotel management.
"Terry Jones can't dress himself any more" :(

Yeah that made me sad too since it's close to truth now.
Even sadder now :-(

Your mother smells of juniper, and your father smells of elderberries.

Don't remember Kinnock and Tebbitt physically fighting
Teaching people to speak while inhaling? Brilliant. Aside from politicians, who is the target audience?
In Soviet Russia movie watches you!
It's a shame that john cleese wasn't a fan of clockwise. It's an hilarious movie, I've watched it with my parents and we both died laughing
1:53 oof
That bar scene from Cleese, I mean… pretty accurate, isn’t 😂 (I’m on the 156 level,m I guess, because of the Woody Allen’s movies )
extremely sad when john makes the joke about "terry jones not being able to dress himself anymore" and now the poor guy cant recognize his friends of 50 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Needs more Tawny

"Have you been to any auditions lately?" (implying they are both actors)
