Michael Palin was the Ringo Starr of Monty Python. that is to say, in the middle-brow cocktail party conversation, 'how does every team in the world correspond to the Beatles,' Palin was always the moral heart or enabler of everything the team did, rather than the edgy leader or chick-magnet foil to...

Happy to have discovered this new-to-me auth...

The author drones on and on about the most mundane d...

Some time around 1980 I was watching PBS late at night and came across a rerun of Monty Python's Flying Circus. It was the Mr. Neutron episode from season 4, which is kind of an atypical example of Python as it has one storyline running through the whole episode, but it was the most insane thing I ...
