The second volume of Michael Palin’s diaries covers the bulk of the 1980s, a decade in which the ties binding the Pythons loosened – they made their last film “Monty Python’s Meaning of Life” in 1983. For Michael, writing and acting took over much of his life, culminating in an appearance in A Fish called Wanda, in which he played the hapless, stuttering Ken and won a BAFTA.  This book follows Palin’s tortuous trail through seven movies and ends with his final preparations for the documentary that was to change his life “Around the World in 80 days”.
