		DAVID WALLIAMS: But he’s a great understander, I think, in that comedy is often to do - there’s a physicality, and those things are a big part of comedy, you know, with the things being kind of vulgar and the bodily functions, all those things.
		DAVID WALLIAMS: Started off doing things at school like twice a year your class would take the assembly and normally it would just be somebody reading from a book like that, trying to get it over with, and I would go, “Great, okay, we’re going to do a production.
		DAVID WALLIAMS: I think, I mean, I interviewed Eric Idle the other day for Radio Times, and it’s strange, you know, he’s promoting Spamalot, his musical of, you know, the Holy Grail and, you know, he’s still talking about Monty Python, and the series finished in the early ‘70s.
