Marooned on a desert island John Cleese would choose to take Michael Palin as his luxury . . . a sentiment that Palin's many thousands of fans would echo. Palin has proved himself one of the most popular men in Britain, from the early days with Monty Python to the phenomenally successful televised travels.
Born in Sheffield, educated at Oxford, Palin is one of the most versatile men in showbusiness. From early triumphs such as the hilarious and innovative "Monty Python's Flying Circus" to the ironic farce of "A Private Function" and his scriptwriting debut "The Missionary" to his powerful portrayal of the besieged schoolteacher in Alan Bleasdale's award-winning "G.B.H", Palin is a man of many contrasts and many successes. Jonathan Margolis's entertaining biography examines the making of this multi-talented man: writer, director, comedian and adventurer.
