Chapters: John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Terry Gilliam, Michael Palin, Eric Idle, Terry Jones. Excerpt:Eric Idle Eric Idle (born 29 March 1943) is an English comedian , actor , author , singer , writer and comedic composer . He wrote and performed as a member of the British comedy group Monty Python . Early life Idle was born in South Shields , County Durham (now Tyne and Wear ) in Harton Village, the son of Nora Barron (née Sanderson), a health visitor , and Ernest Idle. His father had served in the Royal Air Force and survived World War II , only to be killed in a hitch-hiking accident on Christmas Eve 1945. His mother had difficulty coping with a full-time job and raising a child, so when he was seven, she enrolled him into the Royal Wolverhampton School as a boarder . The school had begun life as a Victorian orphanage , and during Idle's time was a charitable foundation dedicated to the welfare of children who had lost one or both parents. Its pupils, who were mainly the children of dead English soldiers, still referred to it as the 'Ophney'. Idle is quoted as saying: "It was a physically abusive , bullying , harsh environment for a kid to grow up in. I got used to dealing with groups of boys and getting on with life in unpleasant circumstances and being smart and funny and subversive at the expense of authority. Perfect training for Python." Idle stated that the two things that made his life bearable were listening to Radio Luxembourg under the bedclothes and watching the local football team, Wolverhampton Wanderers . Despite this, he disliked other sports and would sneak out of school every Thursday afternoon to the local cinema. He was eventually caught watching the X-rated film BUtterfield 8 and stripped of his prefecture , even though by that time he was head boy . Idle had alrea... ... Read more

Chapters: Bert Fegg's Nasty Book for Boys and Girls, Around the World in 80 Days, Sahara, Full Circle - Michael Palin, Himalaya, New Europe, Pole to Pole. Source: Wikipedia. Free updates online. Not illustrated. Excerpt: Bert Fegg's Nasty Book For Boys And Girls is a humorous book first published by Methuen in 1974 which purports to have been written by a psychopathic character, Dr. Fegg. In fact, the book is the work of Terry Jones and Michael Palin, who adapted a range of material from scripts written for the television comedy series, Monty Python's Flying Circus. Some material was later used in Palin's 1977 TV series, Ripping Yarns. The first edition was sold bearing a sticker on the front cover which read "A Monty Python Educational Product". The book may be seen as a satire of children's education literature; whether it is actually written for children or is intended as a parody aimed at adults is open to interpretation. It satirises elements of educational text books, as well as annuals, which were popular hardcover publications for children featuring short stories, comic strips, and games, often based upon television series and films of the day. The book uses the characteristic absurdist humour associated with the Monty Python series and relies on the use of non sequitur, parody, anarchic humour, juvenile references to bodily functions and black comedy-style descriptions of gory violence for comedic effect. A fictional character, Dr. Bert Fegg, is presented as the author of the book. His bloodthirsty, psychopathic character is depicted in constant conflict with the publishers, as they attempt to raise the moral tone of the book and censor violent content. The exchange between author and publishers is presented through textual interjections such as "T...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=12261566 ... Read more

Palin wrote most of his material with Terry Jones. Before Monty Python, they had worked on other shows such as The Ken Dodd Show, The Frost Report andDo Not Adjust Your Set. Palin appeared in some of the most famous Python sketches, including "Argument Clinic", "Dead Parrot", "The Lumberjack Song", "The Spanish Inquisition" and "Spam".

He has also appeared in several films directed by fellow Python Terry Gilliam and made notable appearances in other films such as A Fish Called Wanda, for which he won the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role.
