I have always absolutely adored Michael Palin since he was a very young actor. I suppose I grew up watching his career whilst living my own life. He really is quite lovely and never disappoints,
John Cleese said it best, pertaining to the timelessness of much of MPFC's sketches. It's because they're based not primarily upon current events or fads, etc., but upon human foibles. And these will never change.
I like the story Eric Idle tells about how he is often mistaken for Michael Palin. He says he signs Mike's name and then tells the person to "fuck off". LOL
I love Michael Palin. Has anyone here heard the cassette story "The Man" by Raymond Briggs? Michael Palin voices this tiny man about 5 inches tall who comes into a young boy's house, seeking refuge. They form a friendship, they argue, they joke and they have such a great story. I highly recommend it, I used to hear it a lot when I was young, it's a gorgeous story. If you type in "Raymond Briggs, The Man" into RUclips, the whole audio story is there. So nice to hear Michael play this tiny little man, you can imagine it.
Nice interview in Melbourne, Australia with the "terribly nice" Michael Palin as John Cleese puts it. Definitely funnier than his distant cousin Sarah in Alaska. His diaries make lovely reading. And for some reason the interviewer's name is Michael not Bruce.
i think some of the comments below are a bit picky, to say the least. this is an hour+ interview, interesting throughout, and the host kept the flow of questions, to which palin is responding, interesting. palin, for his part, seems very engaged with the questions which plainly provided a canvas onto which he could paint his stories. ok, he slightly mixed up a couple of names. and? no, he isnt graham notlob, but everyone has their own style. personally, i really enjoyed him as an interviewer. palin, however, is just brilliant, eh? he is just so easy to listen to. funny how cleese comes across as quite stuffy in his older years, and seemed to lose his spark quite distinctly.
I've just come from a few of Cleese's interviews (the one where he's interviewed by Eric Idle is the best), but while he tells a lot of the same stories owing to the fact he was promoting his autobiography, I really enjoy Cleese and love when he starts talking about creativity and ideas.
Dear Sir Michael, I have no idea if you will ever read the comments but btw re Norman Wisdom, when my father was young working at North Thames Gas board he WAS THE TEA BOY😂
To add to the comments below, the interviewer seems disengaged. No follow up questions. He moves right on to the next question as if he never listened to the answer to the question that he previously posed. Very irritating.
Michael Palin is NOT NICE. During "Dead Parrot," he was expected to respond with "no," but he used "it mutters a bit," which frighted John Cleese into riotous laughter. NOT NICE.
He must get so bored of telling these same stories again and again. His real skill is making it seem like this isn't 100th time he has been asked the same questions.
Future generations will look back at this period of TV history marvelling at those idiotic headsets. WTF? They had tiny hidden microphones technology already in the 1970s for goodness sake! And every RUclips news channel uses those as well, they cost peanuts. So why those pathetic headsets, they look like something growing on the face that requires immediate medical attention. A total mystery.
A mystery because you know nothing about sound. Those "hidden" mics, or lapel mics as they are called, only work in studio environments where there are no loudspeakers or foldback. Use them in a very live room, like Melbourne Town Hall where this was filmed, and it will be unlistenable. That said, I don't like those headsets either and use different mics. But lapel mics? Absolute worst possible choice and you'll never see it in a venue like this. No matter what period of TV history.

A true gentleman and a comedy legend. Thanks for everything, Michael.
Palin was the glue that kept that lot together.
Michael is the nice one.
Notice when he pours his water he fills the hosts glass as well.
Cheers to you Mr. Palin!
Great observation.

When he received his 'Special Recognition Award', it was 10% about himself and 90% about Terry Jones.
PURE....nay.......PUREST class!!

Michael Palin is an inspiration.
Love all the Pythons! Thanks for posting.
most of all, he is a good man. a specie facing extintion.
That's unfair. Most people are good.
You are The Greatest sir .
HE is my favourite.
Michael is a thoroughbred gentleman
I'm reading EREBUS by Michael Palin....fascinating, breathtaking, extremely well written!

I loved that as a kid. We got it free with some PG Tips I think
He's such a nice guy.
What a lovely guy.
Love his answer to the question at 1:00:10
Nothing but the best ALWAYS🥰😎😂🥰
I love the story of Fraser Barber (the sound man on pole to pole) and his double entedre detection ability.
Hi Mayumi! Nice to hear from you!
Fabulous bloke.
Excellent actor!
Can one blame Cleese for having an obsession on Palin?
Well put.
Almost well put.
My favorite Python!
I've seen the bit in Tokio (Full circle) where he was talking to the Japanese girl/woman, he was surprised she came to Australia 😆
The Japanese lady who questions Michael about getting into comedy is Myumi: Michael met her in Tokyo in an episode of FULL CIRCLE,
Looks like he didnt realise it was her
Michael is an absolute Legend succesful in everything he has done , a very interesting Q&A, the interviewer tho is extremely annoying
Nice interview in Melbourne, Australia with the "terribly nice" Michael Palin as John Cleese puts it.
Definitely funnier than his distant cousin Sarah in Alaska.
His diaries make lovely reading.

The Fish Dance Rules!

Alexander Stollznow thank you for saying that about pickey commentators

Would have been far better with a journalist, still Palin rises above.
To add to the comments below, the interviewer seems disengaged. No follow up questions. He moves right on to the next question as if he never listened to the answer to the question that he previously posed. Very irritating.
He swishes, so you should be glad he doesn't say "so let me get this straight" so often ;)
The interviewer looks like he's asleep sometimes when he's listening. It makes me laugh
He was too busy trying to prove he was funny
Python was definitely the Beatles of comedy.
Have you ever read Studs Terkel's Working? You should give it a read.
I'm watching this and find myself periodically asking, "Is that Harrison Ford?"
82,000 SEEN this and only 500 likes???? WHAT THE HELL PEOPLE????
In contrast to comedy legend Palin, the humorlessness of the interviewer is all the more striking.
i think he's cool
The interviewer is excellent and was humorous suggesting the audience member should be escorted out.
I bet if he interviews Usain Bolt he’d show him how fast he could run before falling on his arse. The irony is of course he would get a laugh.
Well that Japanese woman from Around the Pacific Naiumi,has turned out to be a stalker,love how Michael kind of ignored her.
It's Phileas Fogg! Aaaarrrrrgggghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Interviewer keeps referencing the wrong Scott.
I like how the host tells people not to be funny but he spent the whole time failing to be funny, not to mention he sounds Australian.
Michael Palin must be the nicest guy on Earth.
Michael Palin is NOT NICE. During "Dead Parrot," he was expected to respond with "no," but he used "it mutters a bit," which frighted John Cleese into riotous laughter. NOT NICE.
Did Michael not recognize Mayumi? 😢
I do like the interviewer......high risk humour never worked for me....but I love a tryer!!
he's so cool haha
A GOD!!!!
FIND THE FISH!!!!!!
After watching hundreds of You Tube interviews, i know that all the good interviewers have retired and stay home typing in the comments section.
THEY ARE ALL GODS
Breaking down the barriers ended up enforcing pronouns for transgenders on everyone.
Aussies .... sheesh... The interviewer seemed more pom than the Brit he was interviewing
Russian children are taught NOT to smile
A tip for the interviewer.
Never try and be funny in the presence of a Python.
I don't like the host, I was annoyed by him every time he spoke, I was trying to blot him out the whole time.
I know, he's immensely irritating.
Pm for Pm 🇬🇧

@@thompasaurus Sorry, what you just said here makes no sense. Just look at zillions of videos on YT showing identical setups.
Fabulous bloke.
