I do love them, but not at those prices.

Good luck to them I say, Jones' comment made me chuckle and it wouldn't surprise me if it was true.

I doubt any of them are especially minted from their endeavours.


Apart from Palin and all those travel books....

Idle and Gilliam must be loaded, surely? Things not going so well for John Cleese recently though, by all accounts....

My issue with it is that I just don't think they're funny any more. Well past their sell-by date. Plus, the O2 is not a venue for comedy IMO. All 5 nights are showing as sold out but they aren't as lots of blocks are being held back. So if anyone actually does want to go to it then wait a while until tickets are re-released, which will happen.
John Cleese spends about a gazillion a year on pyschoanlysis and paying off his various wives - it seems a viscous circle with the pysconalaysis not helping in his choice of partner which pushes him into more analysis. Terry Jones used to drink in the Firkin & Pheonix a lot, he probably had a big tab to settle.

Says a man who has never seen the Stones live. Pah!


Seen Terry Jones in many pubs around the manor over the years. Lovely bloke by all accounts. He's owned a house nearby since 1969.


Cleese must be skint. All that alimony and wasting money on shrinks. Fuck that.


The o2 is horrible and not the place I would want to see anybody.

The O2 is just about OK for a loud evening of rock but definitely not for comedy. Demand was high for the Pythons so I guess if they'd have played a smaller venue then they wouldn't be able to shoe-horn as many people in. Some crazy prices on the secondary market for the Pythons right now. Personally I think the RAH would have been iconic.
It is a Dead Bargain , It has exceeded, it has broken the bank, It has gone to the Golder Tower, It has joined LeeMan Brothers, It is a Royal Bank of Scotland. It has Nothern Rocked its socks off. It has gone down the Yellow Brick Road,It has joined the Bullingden Club, Kt has Spun the Zero .

Agree with posts of many of the above. Not funny anymore. John Cleese lost it for me when he advertised Sainsbury's in his Bond character, and Terry Jones's admission is basically like saying he wants to rip us all off.

On the news it said all the tickets were sold in 43 seconds. A bit like The Book of Mormon, there are too many rip-off shows around. Best to catch shows when they're on early try out at Menier, BAC, etc.


And LIKE the above post!

Johnny Rotten made a similar admission about a Sex Pistols reunion. It's just honest.


We'll get together and give you what you want to see, and we'll make money for it.


Don't think there's anything wrong in that, and they will probably have had very little, if anything to do with setting the prices.

    • What would be the point of that?  It may work in a  USA style mall where there’s maybe a single point of entry and armed security people.  But here financially, it wouldn’t work. 
    • I think there's a similar square-type thing around Queens Road Peckham, which has stayed in pretty good nick. It was certainly a vast improvement.  Having said that, it would be terribly sad if small businesses suffer in the process. I love the fruit 'n' veg stalls & shops on Rye Lane, and the atmosphere in general atmosphere and very much hope that a new station square and the stalls aren't mutually exclusive. 
    • Shoplifting is such epidemic now that it justifies the introduction of facial recognition facilities at the entrance to retail premises. With immediate access to  a database of all known shoplifters, such a facility could sound an immediate alert to management - provided of course that removal of face masks was a condition of entry. 
    • Hello,  Myself and my partner are looking to welcome an F1 Cavapoo into our home in the next few months. We are struggling to find breeders that we trust that is in driving distance. We wondered if anyone has any recommendations for reputable licensed cavapoo breeders or can put us in touch with anyone? We are happy to drive up to 4 hours from London for the right one.  Many thanks
