He asked me for ideas for jokes…and a few sketches…..He is as tight as a ducks arse…..Was in the Python club online and he interacted more than the others…to be fair….most of them are dead.

He is doing it for the money and Camilla. He still owes some alimony to some of his circa 6 wives.He toured the U.S.hosting a chat show on stage with Camilla last year to earn a few bob and to promote his daughter. Unless Manuel ,Prunella Scales and Connie are in it ,it will fail as he needs someone to play off to? He kept it quiet!

Yes, Minister was the best political satire ever made. Alas, they had to try a remake which turned out to be miserable.

They should remake a new Mrs. Brown's Boys, where the cast dies in a plane crash. They could call it the pilot episode.
Hopefully, its digital footprint is erased too.

Manuel died 7 years ago,Prunella is 90 and has Alzheimer's and Connie Booth is 82 so you might struggle to get the original Cast together.

I gotta agree DMG, Faulty Titties WAS great and will go down as one of the best ever, but it's gone !
And it would be a shame to see it dug up and destroyed, let it lie and RIP.

ABBA tried a revival tour last year and brilliant as they were back in the day, the revival thing fell flat on it's face !

I remember the "Don't mention the war" episode sitting in the front room with just me Mum, I don't think we ever laughed as much !
It should have been continued back then but much too late to do it today.
In today's world Cleese would be arrested, jailed and Shot fer half the jokes he told back then !
