I got so depressed when I saw Terry because I was not sure he even recognised who I was.“We were old buddies and ­physically he looked great.

He therefore built up a loyal cult following with many people admiring his eccentric and highly imaginative style. He provided all their special effects, dummies, puppets, sets and wacky costumes. Both his cartoons as well as his live-action films have inspired generations of equally deranged directors and animators. 'The Fisher King' (1991), about a jobless shock deejay (Jeff Bridges) and a homeless lunatic (Robin Williams), is a more straightforward film, which helped its profits. Monty Python spawned a bunch of merchandising, from books, comedy records, stage shows to five feature films which expanded their fame among people who never even heard of their TV series. It’s much harder to get things through now with so many layers. Despite participating with the shows he felt it lacked the tension and excitement of their glory years. Countless sketch shows and comedians have been inspired by them, sometimes downright aping their material. He was present at all their brainstorming sessions, judging and vetoeing ideas. His films are usually highly imaginative fantasies. Either way they still give Monty Python a visual and distinctive style not found in other (alternative) sketch shows. Teenagers, twens and college students loved its anarchic and unconventional tone. The picture is a frenetic adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson's eponymous cult novel and partially inspired by Continuing the absurd, subversive and fourth-wall breaking tradition of the Marx Brothers, the Pythons have become the second-most famous and influential alternative comedy troupe in the world. Gilliam also animated the opening credits of all their movies.

The family moved to California because of his sister's asthma, and Terry Gilliam enrolled into Birmingham High School. But gradually it developed a cult following which has only grown over the years. Once again budgets were far too high while gaining too little at the box office, except for a cult audience. Oct 29, 2018 - And there was much rejoicing. TERRY GILLIAM Terry Jones’ Monty Python pal Terry Gilliam says his death is end of an era as snowflakes are killing comedy. The anthology film 'And Now For Something Complely Different' (1973) was an adaptation of their best sketches with a higher budget. He was a well-groomed shell.”Worries over Jones’s health first emerged when he needed help remembering lines during the Pythons’ comeback shows Before then, Jones was a major creative force in the Python team.He pushed ideas with fervour and would fight his corner if other members of the team weren’t keen on one of his sketches.Gilliam said: “Who Terry used to be was no longer inhabiting his body, as far as we could see.“He was always argumentative (when healthy), just a pain in the ass.

The Faustian story about a man who has a magical mirror, but is under Satan's contract, is one of his few pictures to appeal to both audiences and critics. One could never hope for a better friend.”The director of boundary-pushing movies including Brazil, Twelve Monkeys and Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas believes the Pythons’ brand of outrageous humour is now under threat.And Gilliam said it makes him “crazy” that in Britain, his home for half a century and where he is now a citizen, the right to laugh at almost anything is at risk.No subject was off-limits for the comedy troupe when they first appeared on BBC2 in 1969.They mercilessly lampooned the Establishment, exposed the ­hypocrisy of organised religion in The team had battled censorship, in all sorts of forms, throughout their careers.Three years later, the blistering satire of Life Of Brian ­panicked some viewers who misunderstood its true target.A handful of local councils even banned the movie, which they claimed was blasphemous.The BBC, meanwhile, told them to remove words from sketches including “condom”.But Gilliam was never worried about creating offence.He said: “We did probably irritate some people.
