We’re having a little screening tonight. I wonder if it holds up.
There's a lot to like in MOL. Rutles is my favorite.

He was so funny. He even did the bit on the single we made.
The older I get, the more I realise Victor was right about *everything*.

I did do one episode but it was filmed and I wasn’t in the studio with them. Not a bad little song though eh?
I love this fella
And anette Crosby is a comedy genius

@ericidle.bsky.social did you ever work with them?

I imagine it was fun and/or you at least got fed and regular tea breaks

The MOL lacked a rewrite. We only got to the concept late and it should then have become the seven ages of man - with one central character. But in different historical order. So it lacked a plot. Believe me I tried 7 versions to make the musical. I gave up when it became Wittgenstein’s Panto.
I like all the Python movies but I hated the Holy Grail ending.

I feel like they had more freedom with the MOL and it was funnier.
i was very close to terry and agree with you on the second part. but not the first.

i hold holy grail closest to my heart. they had no idea what they were doing and it shows on screen... a lot. it think that's part of the disjointed magic of it.

by MoL they were megastars and it felt more forced.

I think it’s good in the sense that it’s still out there and offensive. There is no doubt about Terry - his directing is genius.
Unpopular Opinion:

The Meaning of Life is the best Python film.

Terry Jones is a genius, especially at directing.

Such a sweet thing to say. By the way. Thank you.
Hi Mr Idle! I costumed you a million years ago for a film we’d all rather forget (« Smithee ») and to this day, of all the people I’ve ever put clothes on, you’re my all-time favorite !!❤️ So happy to see you’re still in front of audiences being fabulous !!

While we were away a dear old friend of ours Thomas Perry passed away suddenly. Not only was he a great writer but he was a great father to Alix and Ian. To his wife Jo we are deeply saddened and to all who love books please read his work which constantly pops up on my reading diary.

Laughter is a way of coping with fear. If you read the Road To Mars you’ll see pretty much what I think of it.
Are we laughing to cope or is it because we're genuinely happy?

Warners are bring one out a two volume disc of the music and the film. I think that’s on DVD.
It was a pleasure to be there. I especially liked the heartfelt stories about George H and the Rutles sequence. Would love to see a RWT box set, by the way!

Saturday night at the Albert Hall was a real blast for me. Luckily they all came! Thank you for being a terrific audience who laughed and sang along and left me with a huge Standing O and an evening of great emotional memories. Thank you Virtual Band for turning up with Prof Brian & taking a bow.
