Great fun from from Mr idle, lots of laughs and some serious name dropping for which he is unapologetic. This man is seriously famous so when Mick Jagger and David Bowie come to your wedding you can name drop like a big name dropping thing.
Some good insight about Python and about his friendship with George Harrison. My favourite anecdote was when a British ship was sinking during the Falklands war and the crew sat on the deck waiting to be rescued singing "Always Look On The Bright Side of Life"- this is confirmed by my present employer who was serving on the rescue ship during this incident.
This book is similar to others by the Pythons in that it shows these guys still work incredibly hard. Goes to show talents one thing but if you don't put in the yards the jobs only half done. The surviving Pythons are now all in their mid to late 70's and they are still doing projects.
Again, great fun, a light read, three hours with cups of teas will see it off on a Sunday afternoon.
