I recently spoke to comedy legend John Cleese on the TM LIVE Book Show about his memoir So, Anyway …

Cleese said he first thought about writing his memoir one Christmas while he was having lunch with Michael Caine in Barbados. As one does.

“Michael Caine had been writing his autobiography and saying what an interesting experience it was. He said you recapture all the bits of your life that you’d actually forgotten about,” the Monty Python legend said.

“I was very lucky. Whenever something bad happened something immediately something good happened.”
