Terry Jones, Life of Brian director and Monty Python founder, dies aged 77
Jones, who was diagnosed with dementia in 2015, was the main directing force in Python's films, as well a prolific creator of TV documentaries and children's books
Andrew Pulver
"His work with Monty Python, his books, films, television programmes, poems and other work will live on forever, a fitting legacy to a true polymath."
"The funny thing about history is that we imagine that people didn't laugh in the old days, but of course they did, at stupid things."
British comedian and Monty Python co-founder Terry Jones always had an understanding of comedy's bare bones essentials and its place in the greater subconscious of the audience. It was that insight and intuition that led him to one of the most memorable entertainment careers of the 20th century.

Jones wirkte vor und hinter der Kamera
Terry Jones war so etwas wie die Seele der britischen Komikertruppe Monty Python, die er 1969 mitbegründet hat. Er hielt die exzentrischen Charaktere der Gruppe jahrelang zusammen.

Am liebsten spielte er schlecht gelaunte Frauen
Terry Jones war ein brillanter Regisseur und hochintelligenter Denker.
Jean-Martin Büttner
Er war verantwortlich für den surrealen Humor in Klassikern wie "Das Leben des Brian"
Humor als Angriff auf das Establishment und den guten Geschmack: Die Comedy-Truppe Monty Python drängte Ende der Sechzigerjahre mit absurdem, bösem und höchst erfolgreichem Humor ins Fernsehen, später mit Filmen in die Kinos. Eines der wichtigsten Mitglieder war Terry Jones, der 1975 mit "Die Ritter der Kokosnuss" seinen ersten Python-Kinofilm inszenierte und vier Jahre später auch ihren grössten Hit "Das Leben des Brian".
