They often say you should never meet your heroes as you’ll always be disappointed. In many cases I’ve found this to be true. But when I met Michael Palin, albeit briefly at a book signing, I found him to be exactly as people describe him. Genial, sweet, an absolute gentleman, generous with his time and very, very, very nice.
I had the same experience in 1996. The paperback of Heminway’s Chair was just out. I was too late for the book signing at Waterstones Covent Garden. I picked up a pre-signed copy to buy. But mr Palin came up to me and signed one for me personally at the spot. Lovely man.
Luckily for merchant, he'll never be anybody's hero.
I once had the opportunity to meet a man who was a gospel singer of some fame. His performances were holy and charged with a spirituality that gave him a real quality. His voice was wonderful and he face angelic as he sang! and he was loved everywhere he went. Back stage after a performance to a packed audience I was introduced to him. His angelic face and voice were gone, his spiritual aura and holy feel gone too and the way he dismissed my presence as if I was dirt made me realise what a shit he was and that his act was just that, an act.
Even if he was tired, mentally and physically, I would not forgive his rudeness to me …(and to others I later learned). But doubly so because he sang about love thy neighbour etc but in practice he hated his neighbour. After that I decided that there are no heroes. Well at least not living.
Michael Palin is an absolute legend.
Thank you Jack Rawlinson, Dan Short and Jacob Burley for recording this, but apart from that - what have they ever done for us?
The first time I saw Life of Brian was in the back of this produce market in Kansas City which was about as close to Las Vegas as the Midwestern bosses go without getting themselves arrested. I mean, nobody even knew. One guy even made his mother do all the cooking.
Wish it was longer!!
That’s not supposed to matter!
TH-cam's algorithm knows me too well. Thanks for this 👍
For me it's 99.99% of times absolutely clueless. This was a hit though.
Best thing the Pythons did, such a brilliant and important movie.
I saw that book at the library when I was a kid ("LoB" had come out a few years earlier). No one must have known it was there because I read it again and again in the stacks and became a fan without seeing the film.
Still their best film...
That's absolutely fascinating. I too have become a "remote fan" of something by reading peripheral material and knowing that I'd love the core or original content before I even see it.
Enjoyed! Thank you.
Mick Jagger played charades?? I love these insights into the lives of the rich and famous.
YESSSSSS
Oh to have been at that showing.
“…do you find it risible…when I say…”
Wheatley and Palin!
"Terrific race the roman's, Terrific"
It was good.
But that scene back in 😅😅😅

Michael is the nicest one, John the meanest, Graham the weirdest, Terry G the mad one, Terry J the Welsh and Eric knows about the money. Right?
So much better than the Bryson interview a few weeks ago, Palin never seemed comfortable with Brydon. Stephen Merchant really seemed to put him at ease.
He didn't seem uncomfortable with Rob Brydon at all to me.
