Oh no

Second Python to draw his terminal breath, so to speak.

@moderators might want to merge this

This is sad :pensive: I liked Terry.

Sad news indeed. He’s made me laugh so many times over the years :cry:

Everybody go and watch the Ripping Yarns episode ‘Tomkinson’s Schooldays’. As funny a half-hour of TV as I’ve ever watched.

I am sad about this. Seemed like a lovely man.

He already had quite advanced dementia when he got a Lifetime BAFTA in 2016. If this doesn’t bring a tear to your eye, nothing will

I didn’t realise Terry Jones directed Life Of Brian, always assumed it was Gilliam. For that alone he earns my eternal respect. I remember watching that film aged 13 (it was an AA cert - I looked 14) and it changing the way I looked at comedy.

RIP Terry
