Parkinson 28 September 2002 (Part 1) Michael Palin interview 

I had the privilege of meeting Michael Palin at a book signing in December 2009. Not only is he charm personified but he is genius. A brilliant man.

I love these interviews.

He went to my old school.

Michael has the same attitude that Anthony Bourdain went on to elucidate on his food travels. When people offer you their food, you accept it, because they are offering you something of themselves. It is a beautifully poetic notion and I have no doubt there is a significant truth in there, but I can't help but feel that I'd not be quite so gracious if I someone gave me a plate of eyes.

oh man, that epic entry on his food poisoning... i've experienced traveler's diarrhea as well, but his is just an epic nightmare. poor lamb. glad to see he can smile about it now! :)

I loved this show. Bring Parkie back, damn you!

best performer in python was Gray Chapman. Palin was hilarious though.

he's so lovely :)

@blackwerx Always mine too! Have you read his diaries? You get to know him so well through his words.

is your name (moriarty) referring to the goon show?

man... sure is interesting how much Parkinson's appears older since the last interview and how michael doesn't!

Haha! Is there much sugar grown around here?

... that would be Victoria Wood

3 people drank palm wine and camel kidneys!
