Hugely enjoyed his work over the years, 77 is no age to die from dementia. Rest in peace.

RIP Terry

Tragic, loved him in Monty Python and always came across like a decent fellow. RIP

Very sad hearing on the radio this evening a clip from an award show where the poor chap could barely speak. Great tribute to him from Michael Palin though, sounds like they were good friends and well as colleagues.

Personal Services (1987) which he directed is by coincidence on Talking Pictures tonight at 10pm.

This has been very sad news today. The Welsh Python has left us. I really enjoyed Terry’s ‘Medieval Lives’ (2004) series too and used to show this episode, ‘The Peasant’, to my students. I hope you enjoy it as much as they did: RIP Terry. If you do happen to watch this by the way, you’ll learn the origin of Gotham City in the Batman comics around 8 minutes 30 seconds. You can learn a lot of things by studying history.

Terry Jones wrote a fabulous children’s fairytale book. Superb it is, full of twisted stories and humorous tales. I really recommend it.
It’s not something I ever read when I was younger, just something that I often used to read to an ex-partner’s little girl as she was growing up. I really liked reading it though so I bought myself a secondhand copy. It was well crafted, well written and clever.
Though the tales were modern (made up by Terry), he’d done a good job and they could quite easily have been much older. Full of metaphor and ambiguity, dealing with dangers and the frailties of the human condition.
He did a sort of follow up called Animal Tales but although I never read that, I did at least buy it for a good friend of mine’s two kids.
RIP Terry.

I can remember watching repeats of Monty Python with my brother in 1989 and he did a strip show of his own in one sketch where just before it, he is talking to a bobby played by Graham Chapman who pulls his trousers down when he asks him where the nearest strip club is.
He was very good at imitating old ladies and I also remember my brother owning a tape of a Monty Python gig.
RIP.
