Michael Palin’s diaries begin when he was newly married and struggling to make a name for himself in the world of television comedy. But Monty Python was just around the cornerβ¦
Enjoying an unlikely cult status early on, the Pythons then proceeded to tour in the United States and Canada, appearing at sold-out stadiums coast to coast. As their popularity grew, so Palin relates how the group went their separate ways, later to re-form for stages shows and the celebrated films The Holy Grail and Life of Brian.
The birth and childhood of his children, living through the three-day week and the miners’ strike, and all the trials of a peripatetic life are also essential ingredients of these perceptive and funny diaries.
