  • Michael Palin is a true modern Renaissance Man who has entertained me for over 50 years. I am so sorry for the loss of his beloved wife Helen but it's very good to see that his interest in life has not diminished.

  • About 20 years ago I stood for a couple of hours in a huge queue that snaked its way around the city square in Dundee to have Full Circle signed by Michael Palin. Finally I got inside the shop, book in hand, and realised that the author was taking the time and trouble to talk to every single person; pose for a photo that sort of thing. He came across very much as you see him on screen - genuine and decent. I’ve still got my signed copy.

Heaping the guest with praise that makes the guest uncomfortable, doesn't make the interview so interesting for the viewer, either. Palin fortunately managed to squeeze some interesting things into this interview, nonetheless! But it would have been more interesting if Lorraine had let Michael talk about the subjects raised, with fewer interruptions just to praise him and his career!

The best we can do to learn more is to learn about the context of their lives; their family, their time, their location, their beliefs etc.
