Graham Chapman interview

Graham Chapman talks about his new movie Yellowbeard, Marty Feldman and Keith Moon (The Who's drummer inspired him to create a pirate story just like Johnny Depp based his Jack Sparrow character on Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones - seems like all rockers called Keith are pirates).

at 7:33 first time I saw him smile like that!

It seems to me that Graham was the concentric point about which all the delicious madness of Python orbited (Dead Parrots, Bicycle Repairmen, et al).

If he had lived, I'm guessing there would've been fewer rows among the surviving members, we'd probably have seen more films and projects.

His genius is undeniable, but I get the feeling he was also a buffering agent between the egos, perhaps the core of the madcap engine called Python.

Miss him so.

Laugh In Peace Graham.

for those inquiring, this was most likely recorded sometime between 1982 and 1983.

A piece of trivia, the interviewer is an Australian called Mike Walsh. Mike used to do a variety show at Midday on Channel 9 in Australia during the 1980's.

Love the clip!
