Timeless humour. Bless them all.
Always loved this bloke!
I've been going back to my Ripping Yarns videos regularly, and they are still an absolute hoot!
I do like Tompkinson's schooldays.
Cleese has turned out an awful tory.
Right on !
I'm a big fan.
I love your work Mr Palin.
You were always my favourite Mr Palin, a talented man indeed. John Cleese also, his intelligence is quite scarey.
Palin need have no fear for Python humour when we have Starmer shouting out at conference, 'Release The Sausages'. Even funnier than 'Wrelease Woger'.
endless Python sketches, but a A Private Function, also celebrating Maggie Smith : Gold. Seems a thoroughly likeable chap in who's company i can't imagine a dull, non thought provoking moment.
However I would have to advise against buying a psittacine from the fellow.
I think we have some sort of Monty Python joke or remark daily (And therefore she's a duck/They only come up to your knees/I'm not dead/Etc.) and it's such a loss humour like this is lost in this woke-era
Like Chaplins autobiography, Palins diary’s are a really interesting view of a swathe of time in which so much changed. Reading the earlier ones, where he drives off to the West End and parks his car, is such a small thing that doesn’t really happen anymore because of how the city has changed, for example. 9/11 et al are the big things, but the small things are where you really feel the world moving. The same is true of his travel books, which are also now in that historical niche of ‘primary sources’.
Michael probably wouldn’t like thinking of them as being important in that way, but I think they are.
Cleese is still funny but Michael isn't. He can probably write funny but I find his travel films deadly boring.
