I never cease to admire Tim's graciousness* when asked about Python (and whether he should have been in it.)

*I know the correct noun is 'grace', but that makes it sound like I admire his dancing.  Not that I *don't* like Tim's dance moves....

QueenofKnerds : 'I have to say, though, he seems so bitter, doesn't he? He's not at all happy about the total lack of repeats, or that he didn't get equal credit for the writing. Poor darling! I just wanna give him a big hug.

I don't know about 'bitter', exactly. I would have said 'sadly resigned' - he doesn't seem to have that anger. But either way, he definitely needs a hug.

What about the infamous spanking scene in Robot? That's enough to wrap anyone in a straightjacket.

Of course, Tim was always very pretty in drag. At least he pulled it off better than Bill or Grae (though that may have something to do with the face fuzz.) I especially liked Chubby Chumps, he was gorgeous!

I heard this in a lovely interview once:
Bill: Graeme and I did the bulk of the writing -
Tim: Yeah, the unfunny bits.
Bill: - and therefore we made bloody sure that he did the really painful things.
Tim: Usually, I might add, in a dress.
Bill: Yes, in a dress...preferably.

I have to say, though, he seems so bitter, doesn't he? He's not at all happy about the total lack of repeats, or that he didn't get equal credit for the writing. Poor darling! I just wanna give him a big hug.

bondgirl : ' Even scarier - Tim looked more feminine than Margaret Thatcher herself

Even with the Hitler moustache

Even scarier - Tim looked more feminine than Margaret Thatcher herself 

How much of that Maggie Thatcher 'do was his own hair do you think? The front looked far too good to be a wig... 

AAHHH!! The lovely Timita    If only Barry Humphreys looked that good in drag, his wives might have stayed with him  .  "Don't cry for me Marge and Tina" TV Classic    Nothing Beats Tim in drag 

I know we mentioned earlier that this thread could possibly be quite disturbing for Tim's sons to discover but, after watching the Politics episode (s8e1) for the first time, I've decided that absolutely nothing in this thread could come close to the disturbingness of Tim in that white dress. Oh. My. God. Nothing we say could damage those poor children any further. 

Jess, you are brilliant!  It's so good to see all of these clips I wouldn't normally get to see.  Find yourself some shiney paper and some scissors and make yourself an OBE immediatly!!

Three cheers for Jess!!  :b  :b  :b

Absolute Power is a funny show, it was nice to see Tim's cameo. I like how he plays TV's nicest travel show host, hmm, I wonder who that was on? 

Incidentally, it was that nice TV travel show host's birthday on Friday, belated birthday wishes!

On YouTube I also have a clip of Tim's appearance in 'One Foot in the Grave'. Unlike the Absolute Power clip, I didn't put in all of Tim's scenes, but this is his finest hour:
