May I ask why are you so hostile against me? I haven't seen At Last the 1948 Show, nor the Frost Report and all that. Because I hadn't gone around to that. Its been a month since I bought Yellowbeard, which I thought was great pirate comedy, and just a few days ago did I see Splitting Heirs. As you should've known, I wanted to see films in which two or more Pythons appear, POST-Python. I also have acquired Wind of Willows which I'll look at today, probably. Erik the Viking is also a buy-to-be, mostly because it promises in its Diector's Son's Cut to be better than the original.

I have heard of Rutland Weekend Television and if its available I'd like to see it. I will also buy the two Ruttle movies.

BELIEVE ME, I will consult you once I get to the PRE-Python stuff. I just want to see some POST-Python, first.

I have recently signed a petition to bring forth Chapman's last work. And from what I read it looked promising with interesting stuff in it. Certainly interesting.

What would be neat is for someone to build a series around it: Meaning the pilot could be released, and then someone should make a new series based on it - with all new actors and all, obviously. I have an idea for a first episode to that: Chapman's Sir George has been cought between the timeline dimensions that prevent him from reclaiming his previous human form (the Graham Chapman figure). Jake is consulted by the so-called wise men, which would consist of The Tempered Wise Man (John Cleese), the Optimistic Wise Man (Eric Idle), the Nice Wise Man (Michael Palin), the Logical Wise Man (Terry Jones), and the Weird Wise Man (Terry Gilliam). These men bring him forth to embark on a journey to find a suitable body for Sir George, who saved the universe once (accidently!) and they owe to him to help him. Once that adventure ends, the new Sir George has also some slight character changes. This elaborate plot I thought of to effectively differentiate Chapman and whatever other man appears at the role, in the (remote) case of Jake's Journey actually ever becoming a series of some sort.

OK, now what do you think?
