Week 5: London

Back in London and co-producer Jeff Canin joined us this week and took over as sound recordist as well. On Tuesday morning we filmed Jane driving around London in Spike's yellow mini and in the afternoon we interviewed Michael Palin. He spoke about the influence Spike had on him and the Monty Python team and told the story of how Spike came to have a cameo role in THE LIFE OF BRIAN. He talked about how Spike had broadened the landscape of comedy and changed all the rules. Michael is currently starring in a TV series on his adventures in the Himalayas and his face adorns huge billboards around London at the moment. But despite his enormous profile and fame, he is completely charming, warm and easy to talk to and was delighted to meet and talk to Spike's daughter, Jane.
