Be a post whore!

[Sundae]

Finished watching all the Almost Python eps now.
I have to remind myself that I do not know Michael Palin personally.
It just feels like it, having watched his excellent travel programmes and read his (published) diaries.

He hates the sobriquet "nice" Python. Perhaps because it seems to suggest he lucked into it without ambition. But he does have a steely cold intellect and highly developed sense of humour, both written and performed.

I'll join the hordes of people who would probably name him "Python I'd most like to have afternoon tea with" though. He comes second only to the lovely Mark Gatiss. And John Barrowman doesn't even feature; he's far too lively for tea and scones. Sushi, maybe.
