Upstairs flat in Neal's Yard in Covent Garden where Monty Python lived according to the blue plaque.
Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin, directed by Terry Gilliam & Terry Jones. This card is from the game but it's the closest I had. Oh well.
I LOVE British television. Alas, many of my favorites are long gone, only to be enjoyed on DVD. I am looking forward, though, to Series 2 of Kingdom on DVD and series 4 of Doc Martin to be filmed.
John Cleese! who claims his wife can't boil water and thus didn't make him coffee this morning, pours honey into his cup at the Eartbound Farm farmstand. Cleese lent his celebrity support to "Cooking for Solutions," a yearly conference on sustainable growing practices sponsored by the Monterey Bay Aquarium. (As an aside, holy shit, I got to interview John Cleese!)

Historically, Taunton is part of Minehead already. It was the only thing on my mind when I wandered through Minehead, enjoying the seaview on a quiet, wintery day. And then we were cold and wanted a warm drink. Cream is where we found it.
Soon a grandfather, grandmother (presumably) and their granddaughter sat on this table. The grandfather read the girl from the Three Little Piggies: "So he huffed, and he puffed, and he puffed, and he huffed, and at last he blew the house down, and he ate up the little pig."
And the little girl was so totally into the story that I couldn't refrain from watching them. It was very touching and beautiful.
This place was the best find during our holiday in the neighbourhood of Minehead. I had the best hot chocolate in ages with a delicious piece of cake. Cream!
This is the info I got off the net about them:

Classic British comedy troupe Monty Python returned to the stage one “last” time (or ten, as the case may be) for a final farewell to the surreal comedy gold sketches first made famous in the 1970’s and 80’s.
The remaining original line-up of John Cleese, Terry Jones, Michael Palin, Eric Idle and Terry Gilliam all returned for the series of shows at East London’s O2 Arena playing out famous sketches, including Dead Parrot, The Lumberjack Song, Spam and The Spanish Inquisition as well as famous songs including show closer Always Look on the Bright Side if Life.
While a familiarity with the classic material would have heightened the show to an unparalleled level, a good time was had by all as classic original sketches and animations were shown on screen in-between the live acts.
The Monty Python boys were joined on stage by “the seventh Python” and former Miss California Carol Cleveland. While various special guests will join the show over it’s run, tonight’s guest was Mighty Boosh star Noel Fielding.

The programme for ‘A Clump of Plinths’, the 1963 [Cambridge] Footlights Revue in York, on its way to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
It featured Tim Brooke-Taylor, Jo Kendall, David Hatch, John Cleese, and Bill Oddie, and developed into the radio comedy ‘I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again’.
The performances were at The Joseph Rowntree Theatre on July 1st–6th, as part of the York Festival 1963.
More details are on Wikipedia.
The programme belonged to my mum, Mrs Jo Myers of Ponteland, Northumberland, who attended the show. It has now been donated to the Joseph Rowntree Theatre.

The building above is the site of Archie's (John Cleese) second meeting with Wanda (Jamie Lee Curtis) which is interrupted by the jealous Otto (Kevin Kline), who then dangles Archie out of the window to get him to apologise for having called him stupid. Wanda persuades Otto to apologise to Archie.
The building looks like it has been extensively remodeled sine the film was released in 1988.

October 27 is the birthday of four of my favorite people: Happy Dave, E.D. Pufinstuf, John Cleese, and Dylan Thomas, all of them fantastic writers. To commemorate this fine, fine day in history, I offer some Thomas.
Someday i hope my pictures will be as lovely as his poems, as funny as Cleese's Silly Walks, have as much longevity as my friendship with E.D. Pufinstuf, and as full of wonder, potential, and sweetness as Happy Dave.
Happy Birthday, boys!
POEM IN OCTOBER
It was my thirtieth year to heaven
Woke to my hearing from harbour and neighbour wood
And the mussel pooled and the heron
Priested shore
The morning beckon
With water praying and call of seagull and rook
And the knock of sailing boats on the webbed wall
Myself to set foot
That second
In the still sleeping town and set forth.
My birthday began with the water-
Birds and the birds of the winged trees flying my name
Above the farms and the white horses
And I rose
In a rainy autumn
And walked abroad in shower of all my days
High tide and the heron dived when I took the road
Over the border
And the gates
Of the town closed as the town awoke.
A springful of larks in a rolling
Cloud and the roadside bushes brimming with whistling
Blackbirds and the sun of October
Summery
On the hill's shoulder,
Here were fond climates and sweet singers suddenly
Come in the morning where I wandered and listened
To the rain wringing
Wind blow cold
In the wood faraway under me.
Pale rain over the dwindling harbour
And over the sea wet church the size of a snail
With its horns through mist and the castle
Brown as owls
But all the gardens
Of spring and summer were blooming in the tall tales
Beyond the border and under the lark full cloud.
There could I marvel
My birthday
Away but the weather turned around.
It turned away from the blithe country
And down the other air and the blue altered sky
Streamed again a wonder of summer
With apples
Pears and red currants
And I saw in the turning so clearly a child's
Forgotten mornings when he walked with his mother
Through the parables
Of sunlight
And the legends of the green chapels
And the twice told fields of infancy
That his tears burned my cheeks and his heart moved in mine.
These were the woods the river and the sea
Where a boy
In the listening
Summertime of the dead whispered the truth of his joy
To the trees and the stones and the fish in the tide.
And the mystery
Sang alive
Still in the water and singing birds.
And there could I marvel my birthday
Away but the weather turned around. And the true
Joy of the long dead child sang burning
In the sun.
It was my thirtieth
Year to heaven stood there then in the summer noon
Though the town below lay leaved with October blood.
O may my heart's truth
Still be sung
On this high hill in a year's turning.
