Yeah, but can he drop his kecks and sit down in front of an organ? Given that he once did that for money the DWP might still recognise him as fit for work.

I think that it was reported that he was unable to give interview, not that he wasn't able to speak. Yeah, I don't know what's the difference either.

Seems to have been picked up by a Serbian publication. Though it’s behind a pay wall. According to his Wiki page, he lived in Serbia the past 25 years. Random.

The Dead Cow 598 Posted December 5, 2020 Terry Gilliam turned 80 recently and BFI did a thing for him, featuring a bunch of geriatric guests, including Jonathan Pryce who it seems hasn't fully recovered from his Covid bout, as his breathing sounds quite laboured. Terry's looking fine though, as are Cleese and Palin, Idle is absent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LW0EWSzJiT0 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, Cleese doesn’t look as healthy or youthful as the other two here and has got me thinking, he may well be the next Monty Python member to depart.

Cleese looks to me as he has done for years, maybe his voice is getting slightly more gravelly. His mother lived to 101 though, so I reckon he's got a few years left before he dies, departs, ceases to be, shuffles off this mortal coil, etc. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
