This will sound pathetic, but I always considered myself a Python fan, having watched the show and films as a kid and teenager. Today, I stumbled across a John Cleese interview, and feeling nostalgic, started watching other Python interviews. I was just wondering what Graham Chapman is up to, when I just now learned that he had died. Is it strange that I should feel upset, 32 years after the fact?

THAT JACKET! WOWEE, DID HE HAVE STYLE! Rip Graham Chapman, we love you.

A great, sincere, and (mostly) quite serious and illuminating interview with one of the great comic minds.

You just love GC for his honesty and vulnerability - such a good and troubled soul. The normally classy Michael Parkinson probing and prodding Graham on one of the most humiliating and painful episodes of his life - surprising but GC stayed a gentlemen. God rest his soul.

Now originally, Graham Chapman wanted to do the interview in two ways: first in his own voice and then in a sort of silly, high-pitched whine.

In every interview I see, he's wearing some bloody awful jacket. This just makes him more endearing to me.

My only criticism of the aforementioned jacket is that despite its honest attempt it fails to reflect the same colorfulness of the wearer.

It's very hard to know what to write here really. It's such a terrible, terrible shame. But how does one mourn for someone one never knew but simply admires for their shining talent and beauty? I suppose you just have to accept the whole person, including the private demons (which are no business of us, the public, anyway), be very grateful for what's left of them on film and video like this, and then move on.

Thanks! I would love if you could keep these up as long as possible.

He was definitely his own man. Fucking tragic we couldn't see him grow old. Not many people can talk about their insecurities, talk about getting delirium tremens and hallucinations, and not sound self-pitying or pretentious. A very sincere guy, as the best comedians usually are.

I love him. He's so adorable the way he runs down the stairs at the beginning 🖤❤

thanks for the upload

I had no idea he was openly gay, it makes me love him even more for being himself and standing up for LGBTQ+ rights in a time where it was looked down on more than now, so I can be openly gay in a more acceptable society thanks to people like him. An Amazing actor and intelligent chap all around.

Love Graham!

A beautiful tortured soul. Wonderfully creative and yet torn inside. It was nice to know from the others that they accepted him regardless of his orientation, but I guess in those days it was hard to show it. RIP Graham your wonderful legacy lives on in celluloid and DVD for all to enjoy

One of the first celeb's to come-out, I'm hetro so can't speak for gay people....I just found it wonderful that he was so honest and brave....and so fucking funny....and the word fuck was said in church at his memorial. A great person. xx

I think Spike Milligan once said: “Writing comedy is the start of becoming mad”

He died the year I was born. Shame. An excellent comedian, my favourite from Holy Grail in fact.

My favourite Python. Not post Python though. But his characters in the show.

I think he was fine being out (as evidenced by his rainbow jacket). He just didn’t want that to be the primary topic or lens by which he was viewed.

He was already sober at this point.

He was the most 'Python' of the Pythons and the best actor (hence his playing both Arthur and Brian). And sadly he did least well post Python, and of course died so young. I still miss him.

Perhaps not in the popular consciousness as LGBTQ+ issues are today, but the rainbow or pride flag dates back to at least 1978, two years before this 1980 interview. I can imagine Graham had some awareness of it, and wore it as a nod to the community. Although use of vibrant color was also coming into vogue with the growth of Hip Hop and New Wave at this time. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_flag_(LGBT)

People talking about his jacket, then about he is being brave to be openly gay... this guy suffered so much because of that - maybe one of the reasons he became an alcoholic. People should realise that no matter if you are good looking, gay, straight, rich, educated, you can still struggle with alcoholism. Not only the man you see on streets can struggle, many people struggle... He was much more than a gay brave man.

I suppose his performance in The Holy Grail would be my first exposure to "the gay" :-P such a perfect choice for King Arthur, we really got robbed of god knows how much entertaining from Graham, RIP.
