 It has been a good year in sound for ERIC IDLE (Devon) so far. He received a Grammy nomination for Best Audio for reading his Dove Kids Book The Quite Remarkable Adventures of the Owl and the Pussycat; both Jack Nicholson and Art Garfunkel sing his song "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" in the hit movie "As Good As It Gets" and he is shortly to appear as a singing rodent in "The Revenge of NIMH."
Visually, he appeared very briefly as the sad  Alan Smithee in "Burn Hollywood Burn"; he was Ratty in the critically acclaimed "Wind in the Willows"; and in April, he and the other surviving Pythons were honored by the American Film Institute at the Aspen Comedy Festival for having survived for so long. They even managed to turn the event into a successful HBO special. Now that's showbiz.
The fairly funny comedy group Monty Python's Flying Circus began in 1969 and, after four TV series for the BBC, five movies ("And Now For Something Completely Different," "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," "The Life of Brian," "The Hollywood Bowl" and "The Meaning of Life") countless records, many books, three CD-ROMs (The Complete Waste of Time was just taken by the latest American astronaut on the MIR!) and an extremely popular web site (PythOnline), seems to be proving very difficult to kill. They are now talking about a final reunion in 1999, The Not Quite Dead Yet Tour.
After leaving Cambridge as President of the Footlights in 1965, Idle began to write professionally for BBC Radio before moving into TV writing for "The Frost Report," "Marty Feldman" and "The Two Ronnies," and then writing and performing "Do Not Adjust Your Set" for Thames Television. This led to the little-known TV series "Monty Python's Flying Circus" (1969-1973), in which he was the third-tallest and perhaps the fourth- or fifth-nicest and, subsequently, a series of Python films, books, CDs, CD-ROMs, records, Websites, etc. Only the Python bidet remains unsold.
Idle has been in many other films, including "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen," "National Lampoon's European Vacation," "Nuns On The Run," "Splitting Heirs" (which he also wrote and produced), "Casper" and "Wind in the Willows." He has also been in two 4-D movies, the spectacular "Honey, I Shrunk The Audience" at Disney World and Disneyland, and "Pirates!" with Leslie Nielsen at SeaWorld and Busch Gardens.
He has had his own TV series ("Rutland Weekend Television"), has written a novel (Hello Sailor), a comedy book (The Rutland Dirty Weekend Book), a play that ran in the West End for five months ("Puss The Butler"), a musical on BBC Radio ("Behind the Crease"), and a hit song at the top of the British charts in 1991 ("Always Look on the Bright Side of Life"); and was Ko-Ko in Jonathan Miller's "Mikado" for the English National Opera and the Grand Opera. He has hosted "Saturday Night Live" four times and guest-starred twice. He wrote and directed the highly successful Beatles parody, "The Rutles in All You Need Is Cash," for NBC; wrote and directed the premiere episode of "Faerie Tale Theatre" ("The Frog Prince," starring Robin Williams and Teri Garr); played The Pied Piper for the same series; appeared as Passepartout to Pierce Brosnan's Phileas Fogg (also for NBC) in "Around The World in Eighty Days"; and is President of Prominent Features. He is just finishing a novel, The Road To Mars, which is to be published by Vintage Books in the spring.
