Michael Palin's bestselling diaries of the 1980s. After a live performance at the Hollywood Bowl, The Pythons made their last performance together in 1983 in the hugely successful MONTY PYTHON'S MEANING OF LIFE. Writing and acting in films and television then took over much of Michael's life...

This second volume of the best-selling diaries of Henry 'Chips' Channon takes us from the heady aftermath of the Munich agreement, when the prime minister Chips so admired was credited with having averted a general European conflagration, through the rapid unravelling of appeasement, and on to the tribulations of the early years of the Second World War. It closes with a moment of hope, as Channon, in recording the fall of Mussolini in July 1943, reflects: 'The war must be more than half over.'

Nynne nu med barn og eksmand. En omgangskreds som en ujævn opsamlings-lp. Vand i hovedet af kedsomhed tre kalenderdage om året. Og kronisk stakånde i resten. Énmandsorkesteret Nynne er tilbage med nye dagbogsoptegnelser, eleveret hovedgærde og en døgnrytme som avisbude og sortbrogede køer. Hvis hendes liv blev sendt til syn, ville pladerne blive klippet på stedet.

It cuts out the lengthy bibliography and some of the daily journal entries, but one is never left wondering what might be missing when a day is skipped. Mentions and fine reviews of dozens of books share the stage with the more personal details.
