1984: TERRY JONES on Anarchy, Ale and MEDIEVAL DENTAL HYGIENE | Wogan | Comedy Icons | BBC Archive

[@hilaryepstein6013]

So lovely to hear Terry Jones in full flow, especially when you think of his last few years. He was so passionate about things. It's just as well we don't know what the future holds for us.

[@CricketEngland]

Yes the late great Terry Jones, such a real shame how his brain went in the end.

[@4seeableTV]

At least he had a good 70 years where he was cognitively engaged before things started to deteriorate.

[@hilaryepstein6013]

@@4seeableTV I know but for someone who liked to talk so much it must have been dreadful for him.

[@4seeableTV]

@@hilaryepstein6013 Of course. It reminds me of what Bruce Willis is going through right now. He can not communicate at all anymore.

[@hilaryepstein6013]

@@4seeableTV That's terrible, I didn't know that.

[@richmotroni]

I met Terry when he was promoting one of his wonderful books. He was a true gentleman and very kind.

[@ReginaCasares-gt3er]

That's cool! I wish I met him 😩

[@ChrisPollitt]

Clearly a smart man with wisdom to share.

[@onlyme219]

That was wonderful, I could have listened to Terry for hours

[@VidHardt]

He made many history programs, so you have every opportunity to. They're all excellent and, of course, funny.

[@CricketEngland]

Terry was always a very passionate historian as well as comedian, lovely to see him in full flow and a real shame what happen to him

[@georgesos]

Prophetic words of a great thinker and critic of our era.

[@jamesbyersmusic]

Not only was Terry Jones hilariously funny and wonderfully talented, he was also of course supremely intelligent. All the Python's were, and the ones that aren't dead still are!!

[@scaredyfish]

I'm so happy to learn Terry Jones was an anarchist.

[@ctcurry1777]

I couldn't watch interviews with all of the python's all day. Such interesting and talented people.

[@jonnnyren6245]

I'm so sorry but I cannot take Terry Jones seriously without imagining him playing a piano with nothing but socks 😂😂😂😂 Such a delightful young knight Sir Bedivere.

[@andydixon2980]

I love the Pythons. Very english, very intelligent, very silly.

[@WillScarlet16]

Except for Terry who's Welsh, and Terry Gilliam who's American.

[@mitchellhughes5180]

I love Terry Jones. He’s so cool.

[@WillScarlet16]

0:16 - "There is only one thing worse than playing squash together, and that is playing it by yourself. "I wish I hadn't said that."

[@ignacio.carral]

What a wonderful Celt. I have always admired his love for knowledge and humour.

[@darrenharman3362]

My dad's favourite python. He always said he's the real thinker of the group. Can't argue. Apart from my dad, Is Terry J everyones 2nd favourite? He is mine, my favourite was JC.

[@Panlinda]

Watching more interviews of Terry J, I think your father is right. He's one of my favorite, but I really love Eric and Michael😊

[@alexandrialeonora6542]

He was my second favorite when I was a teen and in love with Michael Palin, but Terry Jones is most certainly my favorite now. He was wonderful. 💜

[@TheAlmightyAss]

I think as a rounded person he's my favourite. Love his outlook, politics and his his non-python work. Obviously Palin became a semi national treasure with his travelogues and Gilliam directed some lovely films but Jones's historical work, children's stories and articles are full of intelligence, wit and warmth. Seems to have been a general force for good.

[@jamesbyersmusic]

Usually I say Eric Idle, just because he happened to write and/or appear in more of my favourite sketches, but I am such a Python obsessive and I have such a love for all 6 of them, it's very hard to pick just one of them. Without any of the 6 it just wouldn't have been as magical. Kind of similar to when trying to pick a favourite Beatle...

[@Plons0Nard]

When I look at some stills of Terry, I see Douglas Adams ❤ Love them both

[@Laurentio313]

I find the grounds delightful, and the servants so attentive ...

[@ReginaCasares-gt3er]

Him and Palin were best friends since 1963 terry was 21 and Michael was 20

[@alexfletcher5192]

One of the great things about interviewing a Python is that the man in the street tends to learn something new. But you can also why Terry was sort of the passionate heart of that team - much to Cleese's annoyance - and probably in everything else he did.

[@mikitz]

1984: 'We are all still alive'. 1989: Chapman proceeds to dying of cancer. To be honest, Cleese gave possibly the best eulogy of all time.

[@ReginaCasares-gt3er]

He was so sweet

[@BriarRouge]

This interviewer sucks the life right out of the room. Thank goodness for Terry!

[@evo5dave]

On the right day, Wogan was a great interviewer. He's terrible here though. Always a pleasure to listen to Terry Jones though.

[@timelordvictorious]

Guy was a real historian new his stuff and brought it to the comedy he wrote

[@elizabethwarne2379]

Preach!

[@ypanso]

i wasnt born on time =( RIP terry

[@Stephie2007]

Rest in Peace Terry Jones Stapling machine!

[@ReginaCasares-gt3er]

Aw he looks cute and handsome soon sad he died 😭😭😭😭

[@matthewbland8765]

What a legend, although I can't listen to him without thinking of him dressed up as a woman in MP.

[@paulmorphy6187]

I never realized he was so beautiful

[@BOZ_11]

bit of a caricature by wogan at the end. nobody thinks 5 year olds are autonomous

[@ramthian]

🙏

[@haydnsamuels73]

Nice collar

[@DemonetisedZone]

Wogan exudes extreme blandness😮👈

[@NoosaHeads]

I never was a fan of Terry Wogan. I thought of him as self aggrandising and overly smug.

[@ethanblackhurst8593]

Wogan was bloody awful. Terry here runs rings around him.

[@petejones879]

It's crazy to think that Terry lost the ability of speech towards the end of his life

[@Photoline1]

"It's"

[@psycurro]

Wogan lamentable. Great interview despite rather than because of him

[@ReginaCasares-gt3er]

Soo

[@juliettebouchery3550]

The BBC guy is kind of a fool...
