Michael Palin has said that Monty Python’s religious satire film Life of Brian wouldn’t get made today because he believes comedy is being watered down.
Palin, 82, who co-founded the comedy troupe alongside his Oxbridge friends in 1969, said that the fear of cancel culture has meant that modern comedy has “no feelings, no passions, no crossness, no lust, no surreal humour” and was “becoming how it was after the war”.
