world several times but he has lived in the
same house in London since 1968.
2 ____
Some of you might remember him from the
Monty Python films he acted in between
1969 and 1983, but in 1989, Michael

BBC. He’s now more famous for his travel
books and DVDs than for his acting.

hasn’t been everywhere, but there are still
places he would like to visit: Syria,
