BEYOND PYTHON | Sir Michael Palin & Rob Brydon Live

[@jonkiparsky7369]

Pretty sure all of the clips are already up on youtube, if anyone feels like doing some detective work. Based on the conversation, I suspect that these are the Python clips: Concorde: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGXEZKlppdBniq8 Awful Family: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIulY2OYjc2Aeqc Dead Parrot (O2, you already have the original memorized): kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWaZkpikiN-ch6c

[@MartyOGorman]

The first clip would have been the Frenchmen and the flying sheep, from the first Python episode to be recorded (which was transmitted second) - hence the references to the stick-on moustaches and Brian Trubshaw (Vive Brian, wherever you are) kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6HFeIOCeryboJo

[@egapnala65]

That first one comes from "Do Not Adjust Your Set".

[@KenLieck]

The Twice a Fortnight clip should be one of these: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2nEl52pgqlqb5Ysi=nnk2sSVQYVgiJyWq

[@SlapstickFestival]

Thanks for finding the clips and sharing them!

[@Remnants100]

John Cleese has always said that Michael is quite simply the nicest Man in the World

[@corriewilliams752]

I agree, ripping yarns is one of my favourite programs. I wore the video tapes out and was so grateful when a mutual friend of my parents and Michael were invited to visit his house for guy faulkes and as an 18 year old received a signed copy of the published scripts. I still have and read them regularly. They bring so much joy - regards markc xxx

[@PooleyX]

I could honestly listen to Michael Palin talk forever and never be bored.

[@hawsrulebegin7768]

To be nearly 80 but still have the boyish charm he’s always had is lovely to see. He’s always been my favourite of the python gang and I could listen to him for hours. Funny as hell and smart.

[@haeuptlingaberja4927]

If I had to pick a favorite Python, it would be Michael, but they were all amazing. I once got to work with Graham Chapman and then hang out with him for a bit afterwards, and one of my very fondest memories was actually making him laugh at my ridiculousness. That was more than 40 years ago and nothing has really topped it since.

[@lpsp442]

I can't believe no-one's asked you what you did to make Graham Chapman laugh! Go on fella, spill the beans.

[@haeuptlingaberja4927]

@@lpsp442 Thanks for asking, as it really is one of my favorite stories. It was the early 80s, and I was maybe 20 years old, and I was working spotlights and pre-concert cable gaffing at a little community college just outside of Chicago, a job that didn't pay much but which allowed me to meet and work with people as diverse as Muddy Waters and the Psychedelic Furs...and many, many more. So, Graham was conducting a speaking tour after he had finally sobered up, and the first time I made him (very involuntarily) laugh was right after the show, when he and his small entourage were leaving the venue at the same time I was, and I just couldn't help but break into Cleese's "whereupon I curtailed my Walpoling activities and sallied forth in search of cheesy comestibles" speech, whereupon Graham chuckled and turned around, saying, "Who is that lunatic with the terrible British accent?" Turns out that he was actually curious enough to ask one of his facilitators to find me and invite me to an after party he was attending. When I arrived shortly thereafter, I found that the great man was already ensconced behind a chess table, in front of which a queue was already forming. Seizing my chance at actually speaking to him one on one, I immediately jumped in line. Within just a few minutes, the two people in front of me were easily dispatched and it was my turn. Even before the first move he smiled and said, "So you're the Python loonie who made me laugh after that grim affair." Smiling to break my jaws, I of course said, "It's a fair cop, guv'nor," which elicited yet another smile. But then, maybe 3 moves in, Chapman sat back in his chair, relit his pipe and said, "You don't really play chess, do you?" At which point it was my turn to so heartily laugh that it actually affected Graham, who joined me in my delirium. We chatted for a few more moments about me, of all things, all the while pretending to play chess, until he finally said, "Good luck to you, young man. You've managed to make me laugh, which doesn't happen every day, but I fear that the natives in this silly line have grown restive." Taking my cue, I thanked him for his patience and sallied forth in search of other comestibles. The whole exchange only took a few ticks off the clock of my inexplicably long life, but it has stayed with me, indelibly, all these years.

[@andydixon2980]

Brydon not mentioning Ripping Yarns was a crime. At least an audience member redeemed that mishap. Fun interview nonetheless.

[@thejfg7741]

Absolutely agree. Ripping Yarns is very underrated. Feels like how Python should and could have developed.

I’ve just rediscovered Ripping Yarns on KZbin. But I remember each episode. And how well it keeps its freshness. Wonderful post-Python. And you’re right. Ripping Yarns should have been mentioned for its all round dramatic and comedic excellence. I’m 62 and Sir Michael is an inspiration. I saw Monty Python live at Drury Lane in 1975.

[@tommarino69]

My favourite python! I've watched the complete series on Netflix dozens of times and its still as iconic as ever. I love the argument sketch with Michael and John and I also love the blackmail sketch with Michael as the show host, which funnily enough the great Stephen Merchant said was one of his favourite sketches too!

[@ROOKTABULA]

I've got 2 Python books he wrote a dedication to me in. I wish I could frame them.

[@PrimarchX]

When I was younger Cleese was my favorite Python, these days it's become Palin. His versatility and commitment to the skits was unmatched. That and the sheer amount of classic bits he was in - Dead Parrot, Cheese Shop, Lumberjack, Spanish Inquisition, Argument, The Tale of Sir Galahad, Biggus Dickus, Every Sperm is just epic.

[@BrandenBrazil]

I absolutely adore this man! Thank you, Michael, for the many laughs you have given throughout my entire life. You have also been a source of inspiration for my life as a global traveller. I am pretty certain we met at an Irish pub in Tokyo, even though you denied you were the great Michael Palin.

[@lvclvc1007]

I feel like Palin is the best looking and the finest actor in Python! He is also the most likely to hold your attention when you are watching Monty Python!!

[@seanrm]

Reassuring to hear that Michael was at the TWW studios on the Bath Road, Bristol in 1965 a couple of weeks after I was born, just a short distance away. Happenstance or serendipity perhaps, but I always knew there must have been a good reason for my arriving and, apart from a wonderful family and happy Bristolian upbringing, being able to enjoy a lifetime of Palin-induced smiles has made the whole trip more worthwhile - thanks Michael!

Strange watching this on KZbin with no clips for copyright reasons. An ad for shoes popped up just at the point Rob introduced the first Python clip and it was quite bizarre, as if implying that Michael had written a sketch about a shoe ad. Almost something that might have actually happened in Python! ;)

What a shame they had to cut out those clips.

i agree but i can understand why they did it . when it comes to you tube the BBC are fierce defenders of copyright . i lost my first account here as they made 10 copyright claims against me as i had 10 clips of their radio show im sorry i haven't a clue on it . i have never and will never try to make money off someone else work . . to get back on point the slapstick festival had permission to show the clips in the theatre but may not have been able to get permission to post the python clips on you tube

I can understand (only just) the legal reasons of cutting out clips they're discussing, but Q&A part was a joke. It is not so complicated technically to have a wireless microphone that someone could pass to an audience member. No excuse for that even if this Q&A was Brydon's ad hoc idea. If you're capable of involving and inviting people such as Palin the whole thing should be more professional. Seriously, if I was working for Palin's management I'd suggest either taking it off YT or at least including some subtitles.
