Yes, Roy was great. Had he not left us so early, I can imagine him in all manner of movies, things like the Harry Potter movies.

@EleanorPeterson 3 жыл бұрын

@@NxDoyle- Agreed. Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings. He was a terrific character actor and a very sweet man. (For anyone who didn't know, Roy died from a shattered pelvis after falling from a horse during filming. It was a truly horrific injury.) I think he only survived for a day after the accident; I hope they didn't stint on the morphine. A man who spent his life bringing happiness to others had earned a calm and peaceful exit.

Palin and Jones got the name of the cemetery from Monty Python's stay in Torbay, in the county of Devon. They stayed in a hotel in Babbacombe, Torquay (where John Cleese got his idea for Fawlty Towers), and filmed on location at Barton Refuse Tip, Barton Downs Playing Fields and Paignton Beach. But they got the name of Totnes Cemetery (used in this episode of Ripping Yarns) from a small town in the South Hams area a few miles from Paignton on the road to historical sailing port of Plymouth. Such a shame they didn't actually film the cemetery scene in Totnes.
