Hello. Its been far too long since I checked back here. Recently watched A Shot in the Dark and it suddenly dawned on me that I'd not been on here in years. Nice to see the site is still around and I hope everything is going well for everyone

I've just read this on Wikipedia (although not the most reliable of sources)
I can't see him in the role really. I mean he's funny in The Hangover & The U.S Office but I can't see him as the character. I think if a third film is happening they need a well established comedy actor like Mike Myers.
EDIT BY MOD: thread title change

I still haven't bought it yet - not sure if I will, unless it's cheap. In fact I've not seen it since the cinema over a year ago.

I presume if TPP2 was in here it'd be sitting on the same level as IC, Trail, Curse & Son.

Now it's been mentioned, Williams would have been a good choice. I'd never even considered him with the character.

Welcome to the forum, glad to have you here. I'd say all the films are worth a watch, they differ hugely in quality but even Inspector Clouseau, Curse, Son, Trail and the two Martin ones have their redeeming features. I can't really guide you on the cartoons though.

Baby Mama - starring Steve Martin. One of his more funny recent performances.

I actually bought the book a while ago, still not started it yet, but seeing this thread has reminded me to do so.

John Cleese will still have to pay £600,000 a year to psychotherapist Alyce Faye Eichelberger The Oscar nominated comedy actor is giving his former wife £8 million in cash and assets which include an apartment in New York, a £2 million mews house in fashionable Holland Park in west London, and half a beach house in Santa Barbara in California which is yet to be sold. Ms Faye Eichelberger, an American psychotherapist, will also receive £600,000 a year for seven years. The papers to finalise the financial settlement were lodged in the courts in California last week. Cleese, 70, who is in the New Forest writing a barbed one man show to be called Alimony Tour Year One, has revealed his anger at the size of the divorce settlement which will make his former wife, who he was married to for 16 years, richer than him. He said: “What I find so unfair is that if we both died today, her children would get much more than mine.” He added: “At least I will know in future if a I go out with a lady they will not be after me for my money.” When he met her in 1990 she was living in a third floor council flat in London with two sons from a previous marriage. His former wife, who is 64, was represented in the legal negotiations by Fiona Shackleton, who is known as the Steel Magnolia because of her sharp negotiating skills. She also acted for the Prince of Wales and Sir Paul McCartney in their respective divorces. In her divorce testimony, she claimed Cleese was a “world-renowned celebrity” and she was used to “being entertained by royalty and dignitaries in castles”. She claimed half the Monty Python star’s earnings since their 1992 wedding, half his nine properties, and £900,000 a year to live on. In March a judge in America declared her claim was “excessive” and reduced the interim payments he had been paying from £106,000 a month to £57,000. Michael Winner, the former film director and acerbic restaurant critic who has been Cleese’s closest friend for 30 years, said: “It is an extraordinary world which means John is left with much less than his former wife even though he is the star who did all the work. The settlement defies human belief. John is extremely cross about it and I don’t blame him. The settlement comes after two years of harrowing legal argument.” Mr Winner, who accompanied the couple on their honeymoon to St Lucia in 1992, said: “John has worked all his life and will now have to continue working because he has seen a huge chunk of what he has worked for going to his former wife who he rescued from a council flat.” Cleese, who is also working on a film script, added: “I got off lightly. Think what I’d have had to pay Alyce if she had contributed anything to the relationship.” In a recent interview the actor said: “In my 70th year I will still be spending two months a year doing work that is of no interest to me and which is probably slightly spiritually depleting in order to feed the beast.”’ He has remained friends with his first wife, Connie Booth, who co-wrote and starred in Fawlty Towers and the American actress Barbara Trentham. He has two grown-up daughters with his first two wives. Last year he sold his ranch in California to help pay for the divorce. Comparing the split with that from his previous wives, he said: "My two other divorces were very peaceful affairs." The terms of Cleese’s divorce from Miss Booth - they were married for ten years - and had a daughter were not made public. His divorce from Miss Trentham, with whom he also had a daughter, cost him £2.5million in 1988. A friend of Cleese said: “He is relieved it is almost at an end and just wants to move on.” www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/celebritynews/6043628/John-Cleese-in-12-million-divorce-settlement.html “I got off lightly. Think what I’d have had to pay Alyce if she had contributed anything to the relationship.” :razz: At least he's still good humoured about it.

Hmm I'm not sure what to think of these covers. My first impression was that I liked them, but looking now, I'm not sure I like the idea of the faces being cut off.

I vaguely recollect the show you're talking about. Was it Parkinson by any chance?
