Greetings from not only America but the American Midwest! Please know the Monty Python group has been dear to my heart since the 1970’s and fine tuned the sense of humor my father taught me on his knee as a child. While my father did not appreciate Monty Python in the 1970’s nearly as much as I did, one of my most cherished memories (as he is now deceased) will always be having had the privilege of watching him watching ‘Monty Python and the Holy Grail’ on DVD for the first time around 2001. We had a ball - right down to the closing credits. And this in spite of the fact my mother ran off with an Englishman (no joke, she is currently living in Yorkshire) after 40 years of marriage (a complete surprise to us both). My father ‘got it’ about Monty Python, and a little more about me. What a fabulous bunch of coconuts -

[@klaus3579]

His self-awareness is impressive, to me. So able to reflect on himself and the perception immediately. Woahh.

WHEN was this interview (talk) actually taking place? Seriously wonderful, and I ‚only‘ saw John Cleese as a rather miserable, disillusioned ‚old man‘ with Parkinson. Mind you, I‘m not British and although I own Fawlty Towers DVDs, it was rather because at some time I lived in TQ…. So glad to have seen this. Marvellous chat they had - much depth and at same time hilarious!

The Life of Brian was the most honest respectful review of the Christian message I have ever seen. It was careful to point out Brian was NOT the Messiah, and so did his mum, he was a very, naughty, boy. It simply pointed out how ignorant and gullible people were and how easy it would have been to be a charlatan because of the desperate need people had to make sense of life.

Fun fact. The family name was Cheese. But when John Cleese's father was a young man he decided to have his last name legally changed to Cleese. Good move.

[@Rotebuehl1]

@@yowzephyr Is that true???

[@yowzephyr]

@@Rotebuehl1 Yes, it's true. Wikipedia: "His family's surname was originally Cheese, but his father had thought it was embarrassing and used the name Cleese when he enlisted in the Army during the First World War; he changed it officially by deed poll in 1923."

[@ownpetard8379]

Which makes me think that is why there was no cheese in the Cheese Shop sketch. Hmmmm.... (Zeph, don't get a swollen head. I made this point several months ago in another video.)

[@yowzephyr]

@@ownpetard8379 Yes, I've thought of this. There's also another Monty Python sketch that involves cheese. One can't help but suspect that Cleese's input was involved and that it sprang from him knowing that his family name was Cheese. Or perhaps the other writers knew of it and they were teasing him.
