Shortly after the release of Monty Python and the Holy Grail ( 1975 ), Eric Idle flippantly suggested that the title of the Pythons ' forthcoming feature would be Jesus Christ – Lust for Glory ( a play on the UK title for the 1970 American film Patton ).

Michael Palin's personal journal entries from the period when various edits of Brian were being test-screened consistently reference the Pythons ' and filmmakers ' concerns that the Otto scenes were slowing the story down and thus were top of the list to be chopped from the final cut of the film.

Idle is an accomplished songwriter, having composed and performed many of the Pythons ' most famous comic pieces, including " Eric the Half-a-Bee ", " The Philosophers ' Song ", " Galaxy Song ", " Penis Song ( Not the Noel Coward Song )" and, probably his most recognised hit, " Always Look on the Bright Side of Life ", which was written for the closing scene of the Monty Python film Life of Brian, and sung from the crosses during the mass crucifixion.

In 1969, Chapman and Cleese joined the other Pythons including Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin for their sketch comedy show Flying Circus.

After reuniting with the other Pythons in Monty Python's The Meaning of Life, Chapman began a lengthy series of American college tours where he would tell the audience anecdotes about Monty Python, the Dangerous Sports Club, Keith Moon, and other subjects.

His fellow Pythons noted he felt he needed a drink or two to " face the world " and at times would forget in the afternoon material that had been written the same day.

He stopped drinking on Boxing Day 1977, having just irritated the other Pythons with an outspoken ( and drunken ) interview with the New Musical Express.

Chapman later told a story in his college tour that when he went public, a member of the television audience wrote to the Pythons to complain that she had heard a member of the team was gay, adding that the Bible said any man who lies with a man should be taken out and stoned.

With fellow Pythons already aware of his sexual orientation, Eric Idle replied, " We've found out who it was and we've had him shot.
