Over de Auteur
Terry Jones was born in Colwyn Bay, Wales on February 1, 1942. He was a writer for such BBC programs as The Frost Report and Do Not Adjust Your Set, before joining with Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Eric Idle, and Michael Palin to form the Monty Python comedy troupe. Best remembered as the nude toon meer organist, Jones co-directed Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975), and directed Life of Brian (1979) and Monty Python's The Meaning of Life (1983). Along with many Python-related books, screenplays, and records, he has written several non-fiction works including Chaucer's Knight: The Portrait of a Medieval Mercenary, Who Murdered Chaucer?: A Medieval Mystery, and Terry Jones's War on the War on Terror. He also wrote numerous children's books including The Saga of Erik the Viking, which won the Children's Book Award in 1984, Fantastic Stories, The Beast with a Thousand Teeth, The Curse of the Vampire Socks, and Bedtime Stories.

- Fellow Python John Cleese said: “It feels strange that a man of so many talents and such endless enthusiasm, should have faded so gently away,” adding: “Of his many achievements, for me the greatest gift he gave us all was his direction of Life of Brian. Perfection.” (From the Guardian Obituary)

And now for something completely different door Monty Python (Comedy troupe)
In 1969 the groundbreaking TV program Monty Python's Flying Circus was shown on British network for the first time on the 7th of September and the catch phrase "And now for something completely different" became their trade mark
C- (Meh).
Aliens arbitrarily give an ordinary person omnipotence. This does the things a movie is supposed to do on paper, but it's hard to imagine someone who wouldn't find watching it to have been a waste of their time.

A companion book of some sort to Monty Python's Flying Circus, published in 1971. There's a lot of familiar stuff in here: the Upper-Class Twit of the Year competition, silly walks (in the form of a series of still photos), Dinsdale and his hedgehog, etc. There are also lots of very silly ads, naughty pictures, a bunch of forewords consisting entirely of people complaining about not being invited to write the foreword... Basically lot of the kind of silliness you expect from Python. The result is random, surreal, and ridiculous. So, pretty much exactly like the experience of watching an episode of the show, only without having the actual Pythons to watch, so not quite as good.
Still. I paid 50 cents for this at my local library sale, and I got at least a dollar's worth of laughs out of it, so I'm happy.… (meer)

This novel is a pleasant little romp. The opening chapters set up the dilemma of the sabotaged starship on its original alien world of Blerontin, and I didn't find it very amusing until some Earth humans entered the plot in chapter 8. For all the slapstick scientifictional trappings, the story turns out to be a highly conventional romantic recombination comedy.
Douglas Adams' introduction was in fact as funny as anything in the rest of the book.
