Terry Jones
Terence Graham Parry Jones was a Welsh comedian, screenwriter, actor, film director, children’s author, popular historian, political commentator, and TV documentary host. He is best known as a member of the Monty Python comedy team.
At the age of 4, the Jones family moved to Surrey in England. Jones attended primary school at Esher COE school and later attended the Royal Grammar School in Guildford, where he was school captain in the 1960-61 academic year. He later read English at St Edmund Hall, Oxford, but “strayed into history”. While there, he performed comedy with future Monty Python cast-mate Michael Palin in The Oxford Revue.
Jones appeared in the comedy TV series “Twice a Fortnight” with Michael Palin; Graeme Garden; Bill Oddie and Jonathan Lynn, as well as the television series |”The Complete and Utter History of Britain” (1969). He appeared in” Do Not Adjust Your Set” (1967–69) with Michael Palin; Eric Idle and David Jason. He wrote for “The Frost Report” and several other David Frost programmes.
