In February 1980 we were invited to the home of Terry Jones (1942-2020) to talk all things Monty Python and a lot more besides. He was talking to Graeme Shaw.
When I was 16 I discovered Monty Python and Terry Jones was my sort of secret "guilty pleasure" crush, because even then I knew that *technically* kids my age didn't like men who looked like him but I just did. Now that I'm 40 it's so obvious to me: handsome, gorgeous hair and passionate, so smart, funny, well spoken, down to earth, sweet and talented. So much of his life spirit is what made him so attractive. Feeling very wistful and sad for his family and friends. Grateful to be reminiscing some of these cool interviews I've never seen. Thanks for sharing.
I really can connect with this comment! Im 16 and I have a thing for young Jones and young Palin, both are incredibly smart, extremelly funny, cute and have gorgeous hair. None of my friends even know what Monty Python even is. So deeply saddened about Terrys passing :(
Rest in Peace dear Terry. I will always love you dressed in drag and talking about Spam. You role as Brian's mom will always be my favorite character from the Life of Brian. And how much laughed as they showed you as the naked organ player. Thank you for all those laughs and for working with Jim Henson on Labryinth.
Everyone remembers Cleese , Idle, Chapman and Palin for their acting roles outside of Python and Gilliam for his direction of other films but Terry Jones was the director of their greatest works. A truly brilliant man!
I actually discovered this guy through his series Medieval Lives only to find out after the fact that John Cleese doesent deserve all the credit for Monty Python.
@@kevinbill9574 Yep, I had the same reaction. He looks like a young you tuber or something, not someone working for the MSM. Whoever he is, he is not young now.
I’m a Christian and I’ve got to say.... this movie was NOT ABOUT JESUS! It had absolutely nothing to do with Jesus. It was about a man who lived at the same time as Jesus, his name was Brian and through silly circumstances and misunderstandings, some idiots thought he was The messiah. Hence the name “Life of BRIAN”. Now although in a very short scene, Jesus is portrayed but in a far off scene. And there are some images that might make me spiritualy uncomfortable but that’s more of a personal thing. So as Christians we need to get a grip! This is really spoofing the time in which Jesus lived and showing in a comical way, it wasn’t too different from our time.
Derek Roberts I agree. That said, although Life of Brian wasn't in any way an attack on Jesus, it WAS mocking the mindlessness and gullibility of so many followers of religion. Hence the line to the faithful "You have got to think for yourself..."
