From his Welsh upbringing in Colwyn Bay, to meeting his lifelong friend Michael Palin at Oxford through revue sketches, anarchic children''s shows and the creative genius of Monty Python, this is the story of a comedy legend. Throughout this journey, Terry''s extraordinary determination and resilience shine through, not least in his final years as he battled with dementia.Written by his close friend Robert Ross, with a foreword from Michael Palin (and the blessing of and cooperation of his family and the people who knew him best) Seriously Silly is not only the definitive celebration of a true pioneer of comedy, but a loving portrayal of the man behind the laughter.
