The Steve Era here at Deathlist wasn’t terribly memorable. Figured I get that in before his banishment.

Great shame. First Terry Jones, then Palins wife Helen and now Roger Mills, the Palin 'team' is slowly being picked off.

I would actually disagree. The biggest problem with it is that it is not A Fish Called Wanda which everyone seemed to want but they should no enough of Cleese that he would not just do the same thing again.

 

It is a enjoyable ensemble piece and there are some very good lines
