Douglas Adams pays tribute to Graham Chapman

[hallerd]

I almost hope there is a heaven for Christopher Hitchens and Douglas Adams to sulk in together.

holy zarqon's singing fish

[Thagros]

Graham Chapman = Awesome.

Annoying interview lady = needs to let Douglas Adams speak, rather than trying to put her stamp on the interview.

[sugreev2001]

Douglas Adams was an equally big loss to British humor.

[mateuszmattias]

I saw during the credits that another guest on that night was John Cale. Douglas Adams talking about Graham Chapman and John Cale most likely talking about the soon to be completed Songs for Drella album (together with Lou Reed of course) and Andy Warhol, that might have been one watchable show.

The interviewer talks too zarking much. It's an interview, not a catch-up conversation between old pals.

[Besat]

she needs to BE QUIET!

she needs to BE QUIET!

[DeafFret]

The much mourned Douglas Adams talking about the much mourned Graham Chapman. RIPx2

[42paparia42]

Is it only me that hates interrupting interviewers?

[parlezuml]

@42paparia42 Alas, many interviewers and TV presenters think _they_ are the subject of the interview or program.

[er6789er]

Brilliance before it's time - Doug Adams is to me - one of the greatest authors that has ever graced the pages with ink - RIP Mr. A...

[damarang1]

Miss both of these people, very, very funny guys.

[TheCrusader1000]

All I remember about Grahams death was that it was on the news 5th Oct 1989, the day after his very sad demise, I was 13 at the time.

Graham Chapman was one of the Greats that made Britain look good, he will be much missed.

All stand for the National anthem of Monty Python, dee, dum, dee, dum, dum deum.

Douglas Adams is dead but he is not gone. He is just spending some time dead for tax purposes. This is called doing a Hotblack Desiato.

[FredMalm]

Isn't it sad and somewhat strange that a dead legend talk about another dead legend?

[theKarst]

It certainly is...

[WearethePYROmaniacs]

They did this the night after he died?! Eesh. They could at least give people time to grieve a bit before they put a camera in their face.

That said, it was a good interview.

[deaconredwhiteandblu]

Oh, Graham. :'(

[FranBMan]

I can't believe Douglas Adams is gone too. The world is so cruel.

[GalaxyHorse]

Mortality is a damnable condition...bit of a strange bargain, life.

[Admarilcat]

@FranBMan Cruel, no. The world has no choice in the matter

[FranBMan]

@Admarilcat That was an unnecessarily facetious comment. OBVIOUSLY I know the world is not a sentient being and therefor can't technically be "cruel", blah, blah, blah... Life can seem unfair sometimes, which is clearly what I meant, but forgive me for expressing that sentiment...

[jayjaylawkanigget]

@FranBMan I'm surprised you didn't get a further response saying, "Unfair, no. Life has no choice in the matter." If pedantry was banned on YouTube there would be hardly any comments left. But, anyways, if it's worth anything I agree with your sentiment and how you chose to express it.

[FranBMan]

@jayjaylawkanigget I appreciate that. I knew it was slightly trite when I wrote it, but when anyone dies young, the world feels like an unjust place. Which, I suppose it is.

[wnstcy]

@FranBMan The world is so indifferent.

[EdibleTeleVision]

Douglas Adams is the man. good interview

[EllenRussell54]

It's strange how Douglas Adams for the longest time wanted to be like John Cleese, yet he became great friends with Graham Chapman. The world is an odd place.

Graham Chapman...Bless him. There will never be a better King Arthur, pet shop owner, weird police man, and those other sketches he did... um ever.

[KungfuCow5]

Or Brian.

[EllenRussell54]

Yeah, him too.

[Sindrerise]

Not to mention the savior of Israel, Brian. But the pet shop owner was Michael Palin :)

[someamerican]

@EllenRussell54 Don't forget the military officer that would randomly come out and declare that a sketch was getting too silly.

[mulrich18]

@EllenRussell54 Except Michael Palin was the pet shop owner.
