YES! It's a classic. My favorite parts involve his childhood (when the plane crashed by his house during WWII) and his "partying" with a mega fucked up Keith Moon. And the "coming out party," which was daring for 1967...

I love Graham, and I find the work he did outside of Monty Python (however brief) to be far more enjoyable and more hilarious than anything any of the other cast members went on to do.

I also find him to be highly attractive in a dress.

And I thought immediately of you, emily, when I found this.

haha one of my favourite quotes : some paper asked him what he'd do with a million pounds, and he said 'give it to john cleese so he could take the afternoon off'.
too true. i always think of that when i see those orange ads, will and grace, or some such shite. not to say that their friendship/writing partnership wouldn't have been brilliant and fascinating.

Nice clip! He and Eric Idle were by default the best looking "ladies" in Monty Python. Terry Jones was always slimy looking, and John Cleese dressed up as a lady was always absolutely terrifying.
