George Harrison once said to me, “If we’d known we were
going to be the Beatles we would have tried harder.”...The
same could be said of Monty Python. How on earth could
we possibly know we would become them? At the time, we
were only doing...a fill-in show.—Eric Idle, (Always Look on
the Bright Side of Life:) A Sortabiography
