Donāt meet your heroes? You can when itās @michael.palin - we talked about the brilliant project to put up a statue to Terry Jones, plus Python as satire, going Around The World in 80 Days and being a national treasure.
We also discussed putting up a statue to Michael - heād like it to be in Sheffield but is open to ideas about what Pythonesque pose. Iām going bra and suspenders.
The whole glorious interview is on @bbc5live and on my URGENT QUESTIONS podcast later

A full sofa for the Jonathan Ross recording last night. The Great Man held up the cover of my new book āIn Nigeriaā, publishing in May.
Yet another journey, to the Philippines, made in February and March this year, will be on 5 in the autumn, with book which Iām frantically writing.
Still so much to see, and Iām only 82.
šµšWeāre SO pleased to announce the next instalment of Michael Palinās adventures šµš This time, he travels to one of the most fascinatingly complex and contradictory countries on earth: the Philippines.
Itās a popular tourist destination, but also a place of extreme poverty for many. Itās a nation where religious beliefs are strongly held and divorce is illegal, but where political unrest and violence regularly mar everyday life. And, of course, itās a country still dominated by the legacy of the Marcos family.
This September, join Michael on an epic journey across the archipelago ā a place of remarkable beauty, variety, and striking paradoxes. Along the way, he meets some of the warmest and friendliest people he has ever encountered. And, at the very end, finds himself closer to the Marcos family than he ever thought possible, in a meeting he never expected to haveā¦
Available to pre-order now.

š³š¬ NEW | An epic 1,300-mile journey. Sharpening his travel senses once again, @michael.palin returns to the stage to share his adventures in the āGiant of Africaā.
Reflecting on his book In Nigeria and his acclaimed Channel 5 documentary series, Michael will offer a kaleidoscopic view of a country where some 500 languages are spoken and where tropical rainforests give way to grasslands and desert plains.
From the vibrant chaos of Lagos to the seemingly deserted streets of Nigeriaās hyper-modern capital, Abuja, no two moments are alike.
From Monty Python, Ripping Yarns, and The Death of Stalin to his bestselling travel books and acclaimed diaries, Michael remains one of Britainās most beloved storytellers
