Palin does seem very nice, doesn't he? The other Pythons say as much of him, too, in the book "Monty Python Speaks!" Smile

The cheeky one -- Ilde!
 
Palin and Cleese are close ties for second.

Tough to decide between Cleese and Palin for me... I'll probably go Palin for this alone:

Eric Idle is my favorite, but Cleese is close behind.

Idle's the only one I've seen in person.  And he seems like he'd be fun to have a beer with.

Jones and Palin fighting it out for second and third.

Oh crap that's hard.  I'll go with Gilliam for the animations.  Oh, and for not being from the UK. Tongue

A shout out for Carol Cleveland!

Always had a soft spot for Sheffield's own Mr Palin.

The late great Graham Chapman gets my vote. He features prominently in nearly all my favourite sketches including my all-time favourite ''Flying Lessons''. I love how one minute he could be playing a very serious General and the next be dressed up in drag as Mrs Conclusion. Of course all the Pythons are wonderful in their own way so it was not an easy decision to make.
