I didn't like Monty Python either, but Terry Jones has done so much more than that brilliantly, that's why it's so sad that he's been struck down with this horrible condition.

Well like you I managed the first few minutes and have seen excerpts etc but it didn't appeal to me to want to watch it all the way through hence I didn't know the names of the people in it Good job we don't all laugh at the same things isn't it So thanks but for me personally I ve missed nothing

If you never watched it how did you know you couldn't stand it? At least we forced ourselves to watch 10 minutes of Mrs Browns Boys before wondering if the BBC had lost its marbles commissioning such rubbish.

How sad for someone who had relied on his communicative abilities throughout his entertainment career. He was very funny.

Very sad news. Poor man and his family. I wonder how Prunella Scales is. We watched her and Timothy West on their canal trips, and in the last series she did seem quite vague.
