Sir @michael.palin on the enduring popularity of Monty Python’s ‘Life of Brian’ 🙌 #TheOneShow #iPlayer
Book signing day!
Summer’s over and if I want to keep warm I have to imagine I’m back in Iraq. The last of my adventures in that hot and fascinating land is just about put to bed and the series of three will be launching on @channel5_tv on Tuesday September 20. I’ve never experienced anywhere quite like Iraq. The long war has been over for such a short time that there is still fear and tension in the air, but some inspiring moments and happy surprises as well. In less than a fortnight you’ll be able to see my latest journey for yourself. #MichaelPalinIntoIraq @itnproductionstv
Palin’s Travels is on a new journey. With the acquisition of many previously unseen photos taken by Basil Pao, it’s being transformed into a new, bright, dynamic format. Whereas the old Palin’s Travels was primarily text driven, the emphasis will now be on the superb visuals. They say a picture tells a thousand words, and with the benefit of great advances in photo reproduction, each one now has a vivid clarity that catches, in detail, the huge range of locations we visited…Link in bio!
The going gets harder in Episode Two. I confront some grim stories of the war, make a hair -raising climb but also enjoy the best meal of the journey and get to Baghdad at last. Unbelievable stuff ! @itnproductionstv @channel5_tv #MichaelPalinIntoIraq
Backstage at the Barbican. @adeadepitan was a brilliant interviewer on the night they released my Great Uncle Harry book in paperback. And Paul Whitehouse, with partner Mine, starred in the audience!
