    Michael Palin is an absolute treasure, I just wish the questions weren't so surface level

    I discovered Monty Python rather late as I'm in my thirties now but I'm glad I eventually did. Their comedy is timeless. I also enjoy watching Palin's travelling documentaries.

    They're arguably the foundation of modern comedy in that they tried so much new, absurd stuff
