  If every man was as decent and kind as this man, we would be living in a better and safer world

  I found myself getting emotional at the moment Terry J's voice broke when presenting the BAFTA to Michael. As I write this I'm keenly aware that Michael is dealing with the loss of his great friend.

  Michael Palin truly is the compassionate beating heart of the Pythons.

  Of all the Pythons, he was the most versatile, when it came to portraying varied characters.

  Nice to see Connie Booth being interviewed as well.

  While the humor of many comics is rooted in depression and other dark areas of the human psyche, the humor of Michael Palin comes from him having fun at doing what he does and we are all better because of it.

  One of the many things I love about the fish slapping dance is during the close two shot. I I suppose technically it's a wide "over the shoulder" of Michael, but you can clearly see that John is trying to keep it together as Mikey dances up and back, flicking his cheeks. Honestly, everything about that sketch is perfect, from the costuming to the music, Michael's gay little dance... it's perfectly silly, which is really the essence of Monty Python.

  Michael Palin was always my favorite. Ripping yarns was brilliant. A priest I knew said he had not seen Life of Brian because the church said it was blasphemous. He finally decided to see it 20 years later and thought it was hilarious (and not blasphemous).

  Michael Palin is what I call a 'Diamond Geezer'. I grew up in the 1960s and as a kid I sneaked down into the living room to watch Monty Python on the B&W TV set. He made me the person I am today. An absolute Gumby! 🙂 God bless you, Michael.

  I'm an American. Michael Palin is a World treasure in my eyes.

  A global treasure. Funny, charming, intelligent, handsome, sweet, modest, honest. A beautiful human being. <br><br>Michael is 30 years older than me, but I&apos;d like to die before he does, simply because I don&apos;t want to live in a world that he does not inhabit.

  58 minutes of pure joy. What a warm and wonderful man Michael Palin is.<br>How is it that this video doesn&apos;t have 594 MILLION views? It is because 593 million people are totally missing out on the best things in life.
