Terry Jones is one of those geniuses that they don't seem to get enough credit. I don't know what it is! Maybe its their modesty, or their idiocyncracy, or their persona, or that they are perceived as part of the whole. Most people fail to recognise what's in front of them. For all of you pythonians, you must already know that Tery Jones is one of the pillars of the Monty Python team, writing a great number of sketches and making his absurd surreal humor characterise the whole series. He used to argue, artistically that is, a lot with his friend John Cleese, and write with his friend Michael Palin. He also directed Life of Brian, and co directed Holy Grail. He is also a unique comedic actor and makes me laugh whenever I see him on a sketch. But he is also a scholar, and he gave us brilliant series like The Crusades, the most comprehensive TV guide as to what happened then, so that we better understand today. And of course my favorite, Medieval Lives, where he gives a very vivid picture of what those so called Dark Ages were. Did you know that never humans believed the Earth was flat? And that the pitiful Medieval peasant worked less hours a week than us, the superior beings? Well, thanks Terry...Check him out! (Search, find, watch, buy)
