Aww, great clips :] We've had listening comprehensions at school in English and a few times there's spoken a guy who sounds just like Michael :D I love listening comprehensions...
the sketch is called "historical impersonations", I think... and he's singing "don't sleep in the subway" by Petula Clark. I'm weirdly obsessed with that song, it's just the image of Mike singing it... hehehe
I think he was the MP with the widest range, he could play any character at all!! People tend to focus on how nice and cute(extremely cute)he is, and forget that he's a great comedy actor too!!
I never tire of gawping at these videos of him XD I was lucky enough to meet him his year, and if I was transported back to the 70s and met him I would DIE of lust
I grew up watching "Monty Python's Flying Circus" and "Do Not Adjust Your Set", "At Last the 1948 Show" (reruns and DVD releases of course, sadly I was born during the eighties). Michael Palin is awesome, I admire him so. My first crush - which I still harbor even though sometimes, watching the extras on the Holy Grail DVD, my heart aches so.
I have a picture of Mike that I take to school and I think about him all the time and I wrote a Monty Python fanfiction. That's how obsessed I am with him!!! I mean, I even met him!
Same the first ever thing of monty python i saw was holy grail and instantly i saw him and thought straight away he is the cutest out of all the other pythons, although eric is close behind!
Hehe, I certainly agree with the sentiment (though am slightly disturbed you attached it to the sketch in which is character is supposed to be 10....)
And how precious was that drawn out "Mi-chael"? Adorable.
XD Well in my own case, I figure adults are adults (even if his children are older than me). When I see 14, 15 year old girls fangirling over him, that gets to be a bit unsettling. (Of course, teenage fangirls are always unsettling.)
Fawning over famous, usually older, men is what u do at 14! Casting my mind back to boys in my class I now see why. He's not as fanciable as 20, even 10 years ago...but he's still Michael. I think when I was fangirl age he woulda been 50, and Im sure I kinda guiltily liked him then! Incidentally I have a much older partner (but not quite 60-odd!) & I agree- adults r adults. Guess I got a thing for older men!
I seem to be the only one who still finds him rather attractive. Yes, he doesn't look 30 anymore, nor should he. But he's still quite handsome. He still has a boyish smile, only now it's paired with a matured, distinguished face. Check out his picture in his Wikipedia page; he looks very good for what he is, a well-aged man in his mid-60s.
my god what a real nut... very hard to see him do that travel stuff and not just wanting to laff at him even though it has nothing to do with being funny...
I think he's at his best in Grail/Brian (ex-leper scene!) and early travel stuff but Im nearly 30 myself. The 70s side-parting kinda spoils it for me in the shows! It says a lot for him he's growing old gracefully, not getting repeated facelifts like most tv stars do after 40!
If Palin were 25 years youngers, I would want to marry him. Idle was quite gorgeous then too, in a bizarre sort of way. Pity he looks like Gene Wilders brother nowadays...
You nailed it about Eric Idle. He and Gene Wilder must have been twins separated at birth. As for Palin, I'll take him at any age. He's such a cutie. But I hear he's happily married and lived in same house for 30 years.
NI! i wouldn't use "sexy" but maybe hawt or cute! he's the best lookin of the boys, anyways...<3'd him a sir galahad! Nobody expects the spanish inquosition!
XD at 4:08..."I want to go home" Oh, I almost died! So adorable! But I think he was cutest as Sir Galahad in the Holy Grail, because of the way his hair looked all feathery (squee!) and because he was so adorably uncomfortable in the Castle Anthrax scene
OH YEAH!!!! I've seen that show before, very python-esque before python. It was meant to be a children's show, but gained more popularity with adult veiwers. :) Thanks for letting me know...evidently it's one of the clips I missed. Oh well :)
it is from the pre-python show, "do not adjust your set", which eric and the terrys were also in. I got the clip from youtube, but I think it has now been removed...
