Terry Jones DEAD

[big ron]

He has ceased to be.

 

[Indie]

Was pretty inevitable. Still, why couldn't it be Cleese?

I used to watch Monty Phython obsessively at about 11 years old. Although I loved their records more. One had a double groove, another a free flexi disc teaching you how to speak like Ted Heath

Obviously its nearly unwatchable now. Still much RIP.

FFS, I had him on my tentative Deathlist but haven’t submitted it yet

Why is Gilliam so low?

 

[octophone]

I'm actually very sad - not only one of the nice Pythons but the man who brought shape to what they did, eventually directing The Life Of Brian.

Monty Python brought me a huge amount of pleasure in the 80's and into the 90's, even if, as Ag notes, much of it borders on the unwatchable now (the strike rate is not as good as my memory thought it was).

A proper legend of comedy.

This...is an ex-Python.

RIP

Why is Gilliam so low?

He's a dick. A talented dick who has directed some ace films but an utter dick. Google any recent interview.

 

[big ron]

I watched some Flying Circus not long ago and it was still very watchable.

 

[big ron]

I cant wait for Ron Jr to get Holy Grail - it tickled the shit out of me aged 12

 

[octophone]

I saw the Holy Grail when I was about the same age - we had to pause the tape after the Black Knight sequence because we were all in hysterics laughing.

Bloody marvellous.

 

[Kate]

Still my favourite film ever (well, joint with Withnail & I).
