Right, the photo on the left has nothing to do with Monty Python except that it's what I made for dinner today - lamb chops and pineapple/apple milk shake. But that is purely for something completely random. Back to regular programming -
"The surviving members of legendary comedy troupe Monty Python will reunite in October to commemorate their 40th anniversary as a team.
John Cleese, Michael Palin, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam are expected to appear together at a red-letter event in New York City on October 15.
There, the Pythons will be honoured by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) with a special award that commemorates their "outstanding contribution to film and television".
"It promises to be a rare and memorable occasion bringing the hugely talented Monty Python team together again, and we feel that the special award is a fitting tribute to this much-loved and singularly British institution," said BAFTA chairman David Parfitt.
According to The Hollywood Reporter , BAFTA previously recognised the work of Monty Python in 1987, when they were presented with a Michael Balcon Award for outstanding British contribution to cinema.
Monty Python's Flying Circus , the TV series which ran from 1969 to 1974, was the home of iconic comedy sketches such as Ministry of Silly Walks, Dead Parrot and The Lumberjack Song. The team also wrote and starred in classic films such as The Life of Brian and The Holy Grail ."
