Is this by any chance part of a documentary that's available on DVD? If so, what is this documentary called?

@TheLizGang

This is from Monty Python's Almost The Truth, according to the Pythons themself the most perfect documentary they ever had. It was released some months ago, maybe a year... so it's quite new

(I can recommend this strongly, very interesting and funny)

"I don't mean efficient in a Prussian sense"

For some reason, this line really cracked me up.

Graham will always be my fave Pythoner

@gabiotta You have to remember, for almost the entire Monty Python run Graham was drunk off his ass. Have you ever tried to work with someone who was always drunk? You'd be a bit rough on them too. It's easy for us to think they were being mean since we didn't have to go through take after take because a drunk cast member couldn't remember his lines. Not to talk down on Graham, no one is perfect.

@sibeliandrift Yeah, but for some reason, when you DO find out that a performer is gay, you suddenly see it in all of their performances. Then again, WHO THE FUCK CARES? If they're gay, then they're gay. Doesn't matter. Graham was an awesome comedian.

[gabiotta]

This is a bit rough on Chapman. Is there a good reason to start twisting the knife like this?

[sibeliandrift]

@RickyScarlet - you can say that about anyone...

3:18 “It was as though Michael Palin had turned to me and said: “I’m Chinese.”.”

Hilarious line. XD

[povonodo]

There seems to be more than one version of this documentary. I first saw a version that was substantially edited down compared to this one.

@TheLizGang Its also on Netflix

I think Idle is full of it, judging from the fondness all of the other Pythons have shown and do show about each other - and what they wrote and did back during the Python years, too.
