“We should all just love each other and do it in our own way. That’s the only thing that’s important.” HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRAHAM CHAPMAN 8th January 1941

“He was magnificently mad.” | John Cleese talks about the awesomeness that was Graham Chapman [x]

Graham was a terrifically good actor and he had that ability to look so conventional and then do something outrageous.

[Graham] was remarkable. I remember that before we even did “Python” Terry [Jones] and I used to watch the “At Last the 1948 Show” which had John Cleese and Graham Chapman and Tim Brooke Taylor and Mary Feldman and these other people, and we were really impressed by Graham’s stillness, he didn’t seem to be acting very hard and your eye was drawn toward him - he was just there. That’s rather the way Graham was generally.

When we were filming in Glencoe for “Holy Grail”, I used to go to bed early, being the “nice one” of the group, and I would hear Graham standing in the corridor shouting “Betty Marsden! Betty Marsden!” On the second night it would be “Betty Marsden, I’m on my own tonight.” By the third morning I said to Graham: “Do you mind? I’m trying to get to sleep, so can you just keep it quiet?” So the next night it’s dead silence and no noise at all, but when I got up there was a little slip of paper shoved under my door and it said “Betty Marsden”.

I've always been wary of a Python reunion because we don't have Graham Chapman, who was such an important part of Python. He had his problems - he was a self-confessed alcoholic - but, God, he was a good actor and an odd, eccentric writer, too. We'd miss him if we got back together.
