I must thank you all for your kind thoughts and I’m out and back and course it was Propofil as someone kindly reminded me, and it did its job well and I’m back working hard at the joke face.

I loved him the moment I saw him on stage at the Edinburgh Festival in 1963. So many laughs,moments of total hilarity onstage and off we have all shared with him. It’s too sad if you knew him,but if you didn’t you will always smile at the many wonderfully funny moments he gave us

Do not listen. This is shit advice.
I have nothing to do with this.
In the wise words of my wife. “What has changed?”
Nothing.
There is no cure, there is no vaccine.
Go out at your peril. Mingle at your own risk.
Just remember
“Bring out your dead.”
Be safe

I'm very saddened to hear of the loss of our old friend and fellow Pembroke alum Tim Brooke-Taylor. He and Bill Oddie auditioned me for the Pembroke Smoker in 1963, starting my career. I always thought him a wonderful man, funny, kind and generous. Merde. This fucking virus.

I have nothing at all to do with this production or adaptation,. Apparently Cleese has cut the song. Of course.
The stage show version of Monty Python's Life Of Brian will be launched in London in 2024, John Cleese has confirmed. He and Idle have made changes - for example, there'll be no crucifixion scene:

So the Conservatives go back to the same 8,000 people and ask them for another go at who they think should be PM, is that right? This democracy thing is a lark. First they run away from Europe, then make everyone poor, and then they choose another PM. Terrific isn't it.

I wrote to him from my lonely boarding school in Wolverhampton at the age of 16. I was a huge fan.
To my complete amazement he wrote me a letter back. Isn’t that wonderful?
In January 1960, white jazz pianist Dave Brubeck canceled a twenty-five-date tour of colleges and universities across the American South after twenty-two schools had refused to allow his black bassist, Eugene Wright, to perform.

He brought the world much joy through his works in television, film, books, and beyond.
He was a man of many talents as well as an intelligent, kind, and gentle human being.
