I remember when he was doing something like Pole to Pole or Sahara, that there was a medical issue with his wife but she convinced him to continue filming. It's actually in one of the behind the scenes documentary. I have most of his books so could probably find it written in there as well. I know when away he would speak to her nearly every day. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brain tumour. But she didn't tell him until after the surgery as she didn't want to come back and fret and to continue filming. When he knew he was in the remotest South East Asian village and it took him ages to get back. So it must've been Full Circle about 25 years ago. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Commtech Sio Bibble 2,028 Posted October 2, 2023 Not death related but ITV have found the missing pre-python sketch show The Complete And Utter History Of Britain starring Palin and Jones. It had reportedly been in the ITV archives for over 50 years but had gone unnoticed due to being mislabelled and is now available in full to watch on ITVX (premium). 3 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
