Hello again.
An unassuming man with a great talent for the absurd and for explaining history. I loved his work particularly with Michael Palin on Ripping Yarns. His direction particularly of Life of Brian really brings out the comedy and the absurdity of the situation. His best line still has to be, "He's not the Messiah. He's just a very naughty boy."

very sad, poor bugger struggled on for 4 years after diagnosis.
he leaves us with having made the greatest British comedy film in life of Brian and my Favorited movie quote in "he's not the messiah, he a very naughty boy"
he may be gone, but will never be forgotten

Comedy lost a wonderful talented human being today😰 I have many fond memories of watching him and the rest of the Pythons (he is not the messiah, he’s a very naughty boy!)as well as my other favorite work of his Mr Toad’s Wild Ride where he gave a very memorable performance as the toad himself😊
I hope all the remaining Pythons give heartfelt speeches at his funeral and that someone does a lovely tribute to his legacy ( perhaps a documentary) Wherever you are up there in comedy heaven Terry, I bet you and Graham are having a brilliant time getting caught up are already writing new hilarious sketches ❤️😢

Ah..that is sad news and another reminder of what a bloody awful condition dementia is.
And as I am struggling to think of something appropriate to post that hasn't already been posted here, I will instead share a couple of tweets - one heartfelt..and the other oh so typically Python..
