"Grey," as his close friends called him had the prismatic ability to flip a sketch inside out and upside down, at the last minute of writing. That gave the "Pythons" that extra nuttiness that made them famous.

Yellow Beard is underrated. Still not a great movie, but not without its share of laughter.

@CrimsonToast So true, I was able to distill it into the choicest moments.

We grew up with, funnily enough, a pirate copy of Yellowbeard, and when I was in the united states I was ecstatic to find the local dvd store had a copy... I could say every line and knew every action that was going to happen, yet it was an amazing experience to watch this film for the first time in 20 years. To my mind this is without a doubt the best Monty Python film that Monty Python never made.

@DoovieMIK You are a rarity, but thanks for that!

Loved Graham, allways have, allways will.

And i know i said it before, but i'll say it again, this wonderful documentary should be on the Yellowbeard dvd (wich had no extra features what so ever).

[MEPublishing]

I have added all of the short pieces to the DVD as extras. I just produced a new batch. Thanks for you great comment!

What can we say but that it is always true that few great minds , such as Graham , are ever as honored in life as much as they are after they are gone. I saw Graham as a man who could think creatively outside of the norm and say on film what most of us were scared to say out loud in real life. ( Not to be read out loud, oh sorry!) I only wish that he had lived a little longer to see how much he really gave to the art of film and how many he influenced with Monty Python. So sad.

It isn't a terrible movie, really. Good to watch if you have time to kill and need a laugh.
