Talented fella, young age. A shame.

RIP.
He did some interesting stuff outside python as well.

He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy. Rip.

[Davel]

Sad news.

RIP Terry

RIP - Frontotemporal dementia. Urgh. Hadn’t realised he had another child in 2009, 10 year old Siri (named 2 years before Apple got there!).
Last few years must have been difficult.

A comic genius

Guess he had his 'waffer theen" mint.

RIP.

Sad news - He was such a nice man.

Sad news - He was such a nice man.

Indeed, he disliked playing a woman but he ended up doing it rather than be awkward, and
he directed the Python films because none of the others could be bothered.

A very smart man, he did a TV series on the crusades, which was entertaining, especially when he
occasionally lapsed into Python silliness.

I had the pleasure of seeing him at one the MP reunion shows they did about 5 years ago. Quite brilliant.

Very sad for the family and friends and a loss to us all who enjoyed his amazing humour.

[Brads67]

Apparently he stopped a stranger and told them his "Front temporal lobe has absconded !"

I think this is the one thread in the history of the Internet where spam is a very very good thing

[Smiler.]

One of the funniest blokes in one of the funniest sketches.

Wobble your Charlies.

I mean, Rest In Peace.

Preferred his understated humour to some of the 'shouty' pythons. Ripping Yarns was a classic.

I think this may have been my first intro to Terry Jones. Not sure when I became aware of Monty Python, but it was young.

I still have my copy.

^^^^^^^
Liked the film as well.

Awful disease that also got my dad 7 years ago, ironically a Python fan who did a classic Ministry of Funny Walks impression. He was 66.

Picks is a terrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

For his family it will be a day of sadness and probable relief. They can remember the good times.

RIP
