This is a bit old but I have just discovered it. John Cleese is pretty damn funny and smart on his feet. Enjoy...

It's all delightful, I remember watching it live, (shit!) Cleese and Palin, who was actually better although as usual Cleese stole the thunder, but whatever... against a dress wearing gay guy who at the time didn't dare to identify as such even though everyone knew, and Malcolm Muggeridge who experienced a miracle while filming the bitch of Calcutta that was later explained to him to be technological improvement he hadn't become aware of by talking to God every weekend...

There are even some delightful, if painful, comments by Muggeridge about 'Saint' Theresa which given her later doubts are exquisite in their refutation of his every point. Too bad he didn't survive to witness that, it might have taught him something, although I doubt it.

What pompous assholes both of those establishment pricks showed themselves to be (Not that Cleese can't be pretty arrogant himself, but). I remember sitting around and laughing at this tv show when I was a kid.

The arrogance of the two Christians is staggering. Like the whole world revolves around them and their particular religion.

That encounter inspired this

Brilliant, yes.

I'm one of those children, without much education in history and religion, that saw heard The Life of Brian (Dad had it on audio cassette narrated by Cleese)

I need to get home so I can view this. I have always enjoyed his videos. And to think, he also does stuff for corporate things (Meetings, bloofdy meetings). Very versatile man.

Check out Holy Flying Circus a drama (sort of) about the whole Life of Brian debacle.
