79 today!

 

Looks 85, but 79 nonetheless.

He appears on GBNews every other week Daredevil. You're not providing anything insightful or new.

Eric Idle replaces Cleese with Steve Martin for revival of Spamalot, claiming "he’s getting on a bit, he’s getting up there, and John’s gone a bit strange."

John Cleese has a show on GBNEWS every Sunday. He seems absolutely fine.

As for him being "replaced" on a Spamalot revival. 1) Cleese probably wouldn't want to do it anyway. 2) I'm not surprised Idle sees him as "a bit strange". Cleese probably thinks the same of him. They've become completely different people as they've aged, not to mention their completely opposing political views.

IMO Idle will die first of the two.

Well, not completely opposing. Though Cleese has ended up doing a series on GBeebies railing against 'cancel culture' or something, he still despises the Tories like Idle does. He is a bit strange. They all are, and always were.

Have you watched it? You’d probably like it. First episode was about distrust in the media and featured an incredibly powerful interview with salon owner Danielle Hindley whose life was ruined by the Daily Mail. She’s one of the very few ppl who has successfully sued them. Second episode was an interview with Stephen Fry. Discussed AI and emerging technologies, cricket, gen Z, addiction etc. Very interesting watch. 
 

Here’s the Hindley interview. Hard not to feel emotional listening to her story:

Must be a bit odd fit for a channel whose target audience like the Daily Mail to air such a programme.

These two statements conflict.
