Michael Palin is a true modern Renaissance Man who has entertained me for over 50 years. I am so sorry for the loss of his beloved wife Helen but it's very good to see that his interest in life has not diminished.

[jduff]

I'm not one to be obsessed by celebrities, but Michael is such an incredible man with a hugely diverse and fascinating career. I do love keeping up with his works.

About 20 years ago I stood for a couple of hours in a huge queue that snaked its way around the city square in Dundee to have Full Circle signed by Michael Palin. Finally I got inside the shop, book in hand, and realised that the author was taking the time and trouble to talk to every single person; pose for a photo that sort of thing. He came across very much as you see him on screen - genuine and decent. I’ve still got my signed copy.

Everybody loves Michael Palin. A treasure.

I admire Michael Palin and was so sad for the loss of his dear wife I am so glad he is having this interview

[chrisfox]

I love Michael - a complete inspiration. I met him once at a book signing and a lovely man.

[alienorabrowning]

Bless him: one of my favourite human beings - and such a good, creative and funny example to us all. ❤

[Crusty_Camper]

Michael Palin is someone who we all feel like we know personally. I too, was sorry to hear of his wife's passing. The book is a great publication and when you read it, you can actually hear Michael Palin speaking the words. In places it really made me laugh out loud.

[francesT]

The loveliest man in the world. And Lorraine is one of the few of those TV interviewers that has integrity.

[michaelmcginn]

As a 75 year old, I love your comments on maintaining curiosity. Best wishes.

[elainerempel]

Love Michael Palin & his travel shows & books! Can anyone else see a resemblance between Michael & his great-uncle Harry? 💕💕

[valeriemulholland]

He’s absolutely right; it’s about what you don’t have to say. Loved this.

[markwilliamson]

Micheal palin is one of the few men I would love to have a conversation with. He’s humble, interesting and funny very few of his contemporaries have one of these qualities let alone all three. Long may he live and condolences on his loss.

[thesaint]

One of my favorite public individuals! Always comes across as a wonderful, humble, interesting and interested person

[xgreenjacket]

Michaels diaries are a joy to listen to. Every time I finish one, if I don’t move on to the next it feels like a good friend and companion is missing. Looking forward to the next one out in September. So sad for his loss

[judyveness]

A real English gentleman, intelligent, amusing and curious.

[ianjames]

I have a 95yo friend whose intellect, excitement and thirst for knowledge astounds me daily. May there be many more years for Michael.

[rogerhawkins]

My idol …. For all my life!
Michael Palin who has first made the world laugh, and then educated the world beautifully on all that is good in the world through his travel documentaries.
I recognised the “lemon squeezer” hat immediately the photo was shown.
With the greatest of respect from Auckland, New Zealand 🇳🇿
