I have a horrible feeling Palin will drop suddenly ahead of Cleese and Gilliam.

Wouldn't be surprised if Palin's health takes a downturn

 They were so utterly devoted to each other.

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.

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.

That's very sad. Only a few days shy of his 80th birthday too.

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).

Eric Idle is in need of a few quid but no health problems mentioned apart from his cancer scare a couple of years ago.  Eric Idle: Monty Python star working at 80 for financial reasons - BBC News

Probably only needs a 'few quid' -  to live the life of luxury that most could only dream of so I won't be contributing to the  IRF {Idle Rich Fund.}

What happens when you share money with 6 people (now currently 4), you don't get as much as you want.

Perhaps Idle will finally allow Rutland Weekend Television to come out on DVD.
