I met Graham Chapman when he came to our college to promote "The Meaning of Life" in 1982. While the hall was full it was not packed as I suppose Monty Python fans made up most of the crowd. Chapman gave us what we wanted with lots of stories about his fellow Pythons, George Harrison & of course Keith Moon. After the talk I easily made my way over to him, introduced myself and he described to me and others standing around what it was like to visit Harrison's Friar Park. Very affable guy!

I used to assume that the Pythons wrote as a group, but actually, Eric was just a wee bit of an outsider, and wrote alone. Terry and Michael wrote together, and John and Graham wrote together. John talks about his love hate relationship with Graham. He was extremely exasperating to work with because of his alcoholism.

I’ve just read a comment by someone asking if anyone had heard the story of Keith Moon visiting Oliver reed in a helicopter. I have and it’s Crazy. Keith and the helicopter pilot were circling around for a landing near ether Keith’s residence or Oliver’s place, as they were circling around Oliver Reed was on the rooftop of the house with a shotgun shooting at the helicopter. This story I heard from Keith’s personal assistant who was also with them at the time and he also mentioned that the pilot crapped himself ( literally). I’ve been looking for the documentary that story was explained, but it seems to have vanished. Keith’s pa also mentioned that was the final straw for him to help Keith and he had to leave because he said that one day one of us is going to die and it’s not going to be me. He said it with real sadness cause he really cared for Keith, but just couldn’t take it anymore.. I also have to mention, that when Oiler Reed was shooting at the helicopter Keith was laughing his socks off.
