More of Michael Palin's diary of the Python years. Today's extract:

Aug 23

In the last shot of the day I had to stand beside a fairly busy road clad in the 'It's Man' beard and moustache and a bikini. Next to me was John Cleese, also in a bikini. (The It's Man was a cross I'd made for myself, by suggesting that at the start of each show a haggard, wild-eyed old man should stagger out of incredibly uncomfortable situations and with his last breath squeeze out the word 'It's …'. I was unanimously chosen to play the part, one of the most consistently uncomfortable in Python.)

Go read the rest.
