by Michael Palin Michael Palin has kept a diary since the late 1960s, when he was newly married and beginning to make a name for himself as a TV scriptwriter. This volume of his diaries reveals how Python emerged and triumphed, how he, John Cleese, Graham Chapman, the two Terrys - Jones and Gilliam - and Eric Idle came together and changed the face of British comedy. Here too is his growing family, his home in a north London Victorian terrace, which grows as he buys the house next door and then a second at the bottom of the garden. Meanwhile Monty Python refuses to go away: the hugely successful movies (Holy Grail and The Life of Brian) that follow the series, the at-times extraordinary goings-on of the many powerful personalities who coalesced to form the Python team, the fight to prevent an American TV network from bleeping out the best jokes on U.S. transmission, and much more - all this makes for funny and riveting reading.
