  • MONTY PYTHON at 50 , a Month-Long Season Celebra
    Tuesday 16 July 2019, London. The BFI today announces full details of IT’S… MONTY PYTHON AT 50, a month-long season celebrating Monty Python – their roots, influences and subsequent work both as a group, and as individuals. The season, which takes place from 1 September – 1 October at BFI Southbank, forms part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of the beloved comedy group, whose seminal series Monty Python’s Flying Circus first aired on 5th October 1969. The season will include all the Monty Python feature films; oddities and unseen curios from the depths of the BFI National Archive and from Michael Palin’s personal collection of super 8mm films; back-to-back screenings of the entire series of Monty Python’s Flying Circus in a unique big-screen outing; and screenings of post-Python TV (Fawlty Towers, Out of the Trees, Ripping Yarns) and films (Jabberwocky, A Fish Called Wanda, Time Bandits, Wind in the Willows and more). There will also be rare screenings of pre-Python shows At Last the 1948 Show and Do Not Adjust Your Set, both of which will be released on BFI DVD on Monday 16 September, and a free exhibition of Python-related material from the BFI National Archive and The Monty Python Archive, and a Python takeover in the BFI Shop. Reflecting on the legacy and approaching celebrations, the Pythons commented: “Python has survived because we live in an increasingly Pythonesque world. Extreme silliness seems more relevant now than it ever was.” IT’S… MONTY PYTHON AT 50 programmers Justin Johnson and Dick Fiddy said: “We are delighted to share what is undoubtedly one of the most absurd seasons ever presented by the BFI, but even more delighted that it has been put together with help from the Pythons themselves and marked with their golden stamp of silliness.

On eof the discoveries - Episode 3, of the first series of At Last the 1948 Show (tx. 1/3/1967) will be screened at the Radio Times Festival at Hampton Court on 25 September. The programme features a legendary sketch which John Cleese considers one of his best, The Bookshop; Cleese plays an exasperated shop owner dealing with the increasingly surreal requests for books by a very demanding Marty Feldman (Copperfield with one ‘p’). At Last the 1948 Show is a landmark in British television comedy. The extraordinary early flowering of its surreal, British humour led to the creation by some of the same team of the Monty Python programmes two years later.

  • Key to London Map of Days
    A London Map of Days This is the key to the daily details that feature on my etching A London Map of Days. I posted these every day on both Facebook and Twitter from the 9 February 2015 through to 8 February 2016. As the project continued, I began to enjoy myself and treat it more like a blog and so there is a marked difference between the amount of detail I have included at the beginning and the end of that year. 1 January 1660 Samuel Pepys begins writing his famous diary. He started the diary when he was only 26 years old and kept it for 10 years. He was a naval administrator and even though he had no maritime experience, he rose by a combination of hard work, patronage and talent for administration to be the Chief Secretary to the Admiralty under King Charles II and King James II. His diary, which was not published until the 19th century was written in a cryptic, personal shorthand and the first person to fully transcribe it, did so without the benefit of the key. It was not until 1970 that an unabridged version was published as previous editions had omitted passages deemed too obscene to print, usually involving Pepys sexual exploits. The diary combines personal anecdotes (often centred around drinking) with eyewitness accounts of great events such as the Great Plague of London, the Second Dutch War and the Great Fire of London. It is a glorious work and was a constant source of inspiration for my map. Daily detail from A London Map of Days.

    Graham Chapman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham_Chapman Graham Chapman From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Graham Arthur Chapman (8 January 1941 – 4 October 1989) was an English comedian, writer, actor, and one of Graham Chapman the six members of the surreal comedy group Monty Python. He played authority figures such as the Colonel and the lead role in two Python films, Holy Grail and Life of Brian. Chapman was born in Leicester and was raised in Melton Mowbray. He enjoyed science, acting and comedy, and after graduating from Emmanuel College, Cambridge and St Bartholomew's Medical College, he turned down a career as a doctor to be a comedian. Chapman established a writing partnership with John Cleese, which reached its critical peak with Monty Python during the 1970s. Chapman left Britain for Los Angeles in the late 1970s, attempting to be a success on American television, speaking on the college circuit and producing the pirate film Yellowbeard, before returning to Britain in the early Born Graham Arthur Chapman 1980s. 8 January 1941 Chapman was openly homosexual and a strong supporter Leicester, England of gay rights, and was in a relationship with David Died 4 October 1989 (aged 48) Sherlock for most of his adult life.

  • Interview with Marty Feldman
    Interview With Marty Feldman Penthouse - October, 1980 By Richard Kleiner Penthouse: How would you describe yourself? Feldman: I look like a younger Miles Davis. I’m six feet eight inches, in fact, and black, and I play trumpet beautifully whilst playing soccer. I’m hugely muscled and wonderfully and fearfully made. I can’t describe myself! Penthouse: Are you the worst trumpet player in the world? Feldman: Yes. But I’ve actually increased my range – I’m now the worst flugelhorn player in the world as well. And within the last year I have become the worst drummer in the world. Really, I’ve started to learn drums. Penthouse: If you’re that bad, you belong in a punk-rock band. Feldman: No…well, it depends on what you think of punk rock. There’s a lot of it I like – the part that’s deliberately crude. My music is not deliberately crude – it’s inept, and that’s something else. It just has the ineptitude of a middle-aged Jew trying to be Billy Cobham or Miles Davis. I can keep time on drums; I’m very good at that. I cannot really, truly understand the function of the drums when I’m sitting behind them, because you’ve got all your pots and pans there and you seem so remote from everybody else. You’re like a goalkeeper in a hockey game or something. Suddenly the action’s there, and then it’s gone again – the last line of defense. I can never remember to get out of the way of the other instruments.
