Terry Jones has died

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-51209197

Terry Jones passed away after a battle with dementia. I remember his last pubic appearance a few years ago to collect a special award from BAFTA Wales. His dementia was evident then. His son spoke on his behalf and it was heartbreaking to see him try and say something.

I will admit that I wasn't a Python fan but to see someone who was obviously an intelligent and creative man having his mind destroyed by such a terrible illness was so sad

He's probably in heaven now writing something with Graham Chapman.

RIP Terry.

Dear God please edit that misspelling

In a funny way, I guess Terry might be having a titter to himself when he reads that typo. As shall The Flasher, undoubtedly.

RIP Terry.

oops! I'm a very naughty boy.

You are not the Messiah though.

He is an ex-Python...

John Cleese was on the phone talking to Colin Patterson for BBC News earlier. When asked how he'd remember Terry, he said he'd always associate him with Mr Creosote, and that "I shall think of him exploding."

There's an odd mix of original video and what looks like YouTube footage on the excerpt from his BAFTA award. Very sad that he couldn't really communicate in his last years, especially for someone who had such a way with words. I hope we see some clips of Medieval Lives , or even put some up on iPlayer.

I remember the glee and amusement I caused at school when I pointed out that someone had Tip-ex'd the words 'Pubic Enemy' on their brand new school bag

The EPG has been updated to include the Imagine documentary of the Monty Python reunion show in 2014, at 11.15 tonight on BBC Two. I recommend watching it even if you’re not an Alan Yentob fan - really interesting and at times amusing documentary.

Most certainly not pining...

(too soon?)

I'm the Right head!

Just heard about Terry J

It feels strange that a man of so many talents and such endless enthusiasm, should have faded so gently away...

Of his many achievements, for me the greatest gift he gave us all was his direction of 'Life of Brian'. Perfection

Two down, four to go

I loved him the moment I saw him on stage at the Edinburgh Festival in 1963. So many laughs,moments of total hilarity onstage and off we have all shared with him. It’s too sad if you knew him,but if you didn’t you will always smile at the many wonderfully funny moments he gave us

...and very often a complete pain in the ass.
One could never hope for a better friend. Goodbye, Tel.

I wonder if UKTV will wheel out the Monty Python reunion again on Gold in the next week or so?
