Description
Interview with film director, screenwriter, actor and comedian Terry Jones from 1987, by Kevin Courrier. At the time, Terry Jones was promoting his new film Personal Services, which had recently gained some notoriety by being banned in Ireland. Jones, who along with Graham Chapman, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, John Cleese, and Michael Palin formed the famous Monty Python comedy troupe on television and film, had previously directed two Monty Python films – Monty Python's Life of Brian (1979) and Monty Python's The Meaning of Life (1983) – both of which were also, at the time, "banned in Ireland." Personal Services, which starred Julie Walters in the lead role, was Jones's first non-Python directorial effort.
