Nice Overview
This was a nice look at my favorite Python. Despite being a fan for years I didn't know he came up with the coconut "horses" in Holy Grail. What a classic, it sets the mood for the film.
I have to disagree with the one poster in that I think he's a good actor who doesn't wear out his welcome(he doesn't do a lot of straight acting so it's more like a treat when he does) and also a great travel documentarian. It's about more than being genial, it's about respect. He shows respect towards the people and places he's visiting. It's a genuine talent to be able to do what he does, to listen rather than impose. That's what makes his documentaries enjoyable to watch.
Certainly being a master of one field(comedy) and very very good at a host of others is more than most people are so he deserves the kudos. I can't understand people how want others to LIMIT themselves to just what they think they should do. I admire people who are always stretching themselves, trying to grow and also doing things they enjoy.
