Comedy duo’s damning verdict revealed in newly discovered footage from Norfolk student TV station
Monty Python were not the messiahs of comedy, they were very boring boys.
The damning verdict on John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Terry Jones, Michael Palin, Eric Idle and Terry Gilliam was made in 1973 by Morecambe and Wise, newly discovered film footage reveals. They were not only boring but “unprofessional” and that was “irritating”, the comedy duo said.
