#Michael Palin

Tatiana has been misled into thinking I’m a famous film star […] I daren’t tell her or [the rest of the crew of this Russian ship] that my most recent starring role was that of Vyacheslav Molotov in The Death of Stalin.

Sir Michael Palin!

Congratulations and well deserved! 

I love him so much! Just recently he was superb in “Death of Stalin” as twisted, broken and brainwashed Molotov. And now this. Ni! :

Monty Python star Michael Palin has been knighted in Britain’s New Year’s Honours List, alongside former England cricket captain Alastair Cook, while 1960s model Twiggy will become a dame.

Palin’s knighthood recognises his contribution to travel, culture and geography as a documentary-maker and author.

He said the news had not sunk in yet but noted “I have been a knight before, in Python films. I have been several knights, including Sir Galahad.”
