Description
The hugely successful movies that follow the TV series (his account of the making of both “The Holy Grail” and the “Life of Brian” movies are page-turners) and 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 make for funny and riveting reading. The birth and childhood of his three children, his father’s growing disability, learning to cope as a young man with celebrity, his friendship with George Harrison, and all the trials of a peripatetic life are also essential ingredients of these diaries. A perceptive and funny chronicle, the diaries are a rich portrait of a fascinating period. First Edition. Hardcover. Published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson 2006
