I had the privilege to care for this wonderful, gentle, kind man on Cornwallis ward at Maidstone hospital where he died. His partner David who seemed to live in black jeans and leather jacket was also an incredibly gentle, humble, shy, softly spoken & gracious man who never took advantage of his status. You can tell a great deal about a person when they are so desperately ill by their visitors & there was no doubt that he was deeply loved by many exceptionally special people on so many levels.

RIP Graham,  thank you for helping make the insanity tolerable.

He was a great actor, comedian, writer and above all, human being.

I just love John Cleese's funeral speech!

Ah VHS flickering...its been years.

Chapman was a hell of a comedian. I can only hope that I have friends like he did, who are willing to swear at my funeral.

8 people gave this the thumbs down? Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries!

Graham Chapman was the brains and heart of Monty Python....and my favourite Python. The good die young.

Loved the BBC disclaimer at the start "some viewers may be offended".  I even enjoyed the terrible VHS video quality,... ah, memories of the 1980's.

Ending Graham Chapman's memorial service with the song "Always look on the Bright Side of Life" was perfect (Snif!)

Rip graham chapman the funniest one of the Monty Python team, cheers Arthur king of the britains

It takes a special man to bring laughter to the world in his own absence. Graham was one of a kind. Mostly because they refused to make another one once they saw how he turned out.

I'm a yank nurse, and know well what you're referring to in regard to how such devastating circumstances truly reveal a person's character.
Thank you for providing empathetic, respectful, skillful, and compassionate care to a character so very near and dear to my black little heart-Graham Chapman.
Warmest Regards

I love Monty Python. They are brilliantly bonkers!

The first interviews of looking back, and when you're at your so emotional because of death, are always the best.  This may not be the best documentary of Python, but the interviews in here are at their most real and revealing. That's what makes this documentary so good.

I first saw Monty Python on Comedy Central when I was 18 and my love of the UK ,Wales and its people blossomed. I had an opportunity to study in England. Thank you Monty Python for making this insane world easy to bear.

graham chapman is a beautiful man

Monty Python was wonderful. I don't think my life would have been the same without them. Years ago a childhood friend of mine died. In his obituary they mentioned how much he loved Monty Python. How many comedians get mentioned in obituaries? At one point we lived next door to each other. He took in a stray cat and naturally he named it Eric. Thanks for the memories boys, we all love ya.

What a force of change in culture, these men.  All comedy, and perhaps all satire they forever changed.
