The marvelous Terry Jones has left us. Everyone sing along with Eric Idle:
For many of us, Jones represented a glorious, madcap part of our youth. In addition to his performances, he directed (or co-directed) two of the best comedy films ever conceived: Life of Brian and Monty Python and the Holy Grail. He also co-wrote and co-starred in those films. He’s the Welsh Mel Brooks – with a degree from Oxford as a sweetener.
“If you’re dropping by again, do pop in. Heh. And thanks a lot for the gold and frankincense, er, but don’t worry too much about the myrrh next time.”
Python, director, historian (good one too). He had the lot.
That little wafer thin after dinner mint finally got him… RIP Terry J
