Michael Palin is my favourite Python and one of my favourite character comedians. What do you think his best performance was?

His best performance would have to be a fruity judge in Live at the Hollywood Bowl. He is also my favourite actor and comedian. I watch all of his travel shows! They are the best! My favourite movie with him in it is Jabberwokky and A Fish Called Wanda. "Oh no! It's KKKen! CCCCComing to kkkkkkkill me!"

Right on with Ken in A Fish Called Wanda, but he is a great villain in Brazil.

He's great in any role he plays. And considering the fact that he plays like 20 characters in all the Python moviesYeahHe does wonderfully. (especially as the Ex-Leper.)

I also love him the Python skit where everyone is being turned into Scotsmen. He could rock a kilt with the best of 'em!
