John Cleese and Chris Serle at Bristol Zoo

Wandered over to Bristol Zoo recently for quick drink with some old friends. John Cleese was in conversation with the legend that is Chris Serle. The whole evening was a hoot and loads of dosh was raised to support the Zoo.

John is a big fan of Lemurs and actually has a species named after him. The evening consisted of two halves, the first with Chris posing some questions. To be honest though, John rambled on in a very informative and witty way. They have a great rapport together and are good old mates.

Act two consisted of John taking questions from the shop floor. This was a no holds barred grilling and he came out with some corking anecdotes. The highlight of the latter part of the show was inviting a 'bit part' actor up on stage who did ( a very bad ) impressions of the Queen. Apparently they were to star in an american hoover ad together.

Strangley ( or rightly as some may say ) she didn't get to film it. Waffling for England she continued to talk about herself and bore the crowd senseless. Always amusing watching some has been making a total tit of herself.

Cleese came out with a belter and just walked off stage. Legend.

It was the end of the show and nothing was missed. Later we enjoyed champers, a chinwag and a common love for Blue shirts. Gents I salute you.
