With these, he would go on to bring Monty Python to the cinema in And Now for Something Completely Different (d. Ian Macnaughton, 1971), Monty Python and the Holy Grail (d. Jones/Gilliam, 1974), Life of Brian (d. Jones, 1979), The Secret Policeman's Ball (d. Roger Graef, 1979) and ...Other Ball (d. Julien Temple, 1982), and Monty Python's The Meaning of Life (d. Jones, 1983), on which he wrote as well as acted.

The wild inventiveness revealed in 'Python' was harnessed to different anarchic effect in the TV series, Fawlty Towers (BBC, 1975, 1979), co-written and performed with his then-wife (1968-76) Connie Booth, and perhaps the funniest ever British sitcom. He had a great success (Oscar and

John Cleese, aged 2

John Marwood Cleese was born in Weston-Super-Mare on 27 October 1939 (his father had changed their surname to Cleese from Cheese before signing up for the army in World War 1). By all accounts, Cleese�s childhood wasn�t a perfect one.
