A keen historian, he wrote a number of books and fronted TV documentaries on ancient and medieval history.His grandparents ran the local amateur operatic society and staged Gilbert and Sullivan concerts on the town's pier each yearImage copyright"I couldn't bear it and for the longest time I wanted Wales back," he once said."I still feel very Welsh and feel it's where I should be really.
"It got me really convinced that you have to control everything," he said later."You not only act in the things, you've got to actually start directing the things as well."It was Jones who was the driving force behind abandoning punch lines at the end of sketches and developing what became the show's trademark stream of consciousness.This also took a lot of pressure off the writers, who no longer had to dream up a killer line to round off a sketch.
Possibly his most memorable appearance was in The Meaning of Life as the exploding Mr Creosote who, after a gargantuan feast, misguidedly accepted"just one wafer thin mint"."The thing is we never thought Python was a success when it was actually happening - it was only with the benefit of hindsight."The Monty Python films enabled Jones to further his skills as a director.
Jones established himself as a popular children's author with a number of books, including Nicobobinus, the story of a boy who can do anything, and The Saga of Erik the Viking, which won the Children's Book Award in 1984.

BBCWorld rip..
Terry’s funeral processions
RIPTerryJones - You brought laughter and silliness and joy. The world is a better place for you having been in it. 💙
He's not dead yet. He's getting better. He thinks he's ready for a song.
Sad news but also sad to see Michael Palin’s grief publicised on TV. Poor man has lost a good friend, coverage was intrusive.
The world is a sadder place.
meganslaterx bloody Brian’s mother is dead

Thanks for the laughter.
😥 great man.

'He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy' A quote that makes me smile even at my lowest. Thank you Terry Jones for bringing fun. Missed but not forgotten
So sad about the death of Terry Jones. Thoughts & respect to his family, loved ones & friends.
BBCWorld Such a legend. Vale Terry!
BBCWorld Mother and son are finally together in heaven… RIPTerryJones
And so passes a comedy legend. 😧 For life is quite absurd And death's the final word You must always face the curtain with a bow Forget about your sin Give the audience a grin Enjoy it, it's your last chance anyhow So always look on the bright side of death RIP Terry.
BBC Oh damn
Thanks to BBC for letting Terry Jones and all the Pythons bite the hand that fed them!
Noooo 😔
If we've learned anything from the Monty Python gang it's always be random, be funny and... 'Always look on the bright side of life'
I couldn't bear it and for the longest time I wanted Wales back,' he once said. ' I still feel very Welsh and feel it's where I should be really.' Relatable.
TerryJonesRIP
Oh no. This is terribly sad.
RIP Terry Jones - big influence on me doing A-Level English with his cool book on Chaucer (Chaucer's Knight) - and the Monty Python genius, obvs. One of the all-time greatest minds and entertainers combined.
So will Jesus wag his finger at him and call him a very naughty boy when he gets to the pearly gates?
Oh no, not Terry Jones passed away, that's very sad news to hear. he was a great Actor, Director, Writer, esp being part of that great comedy Monty Pythons's, always made me laugh. My condolences to his family, friends. Wev'e losted a great comedy legend. RIPTerryJones
RIP lovely man.
That's really sad Terry Jones books gave me an interest in history as a child 😓
Two down, four to go. 😢
BBCWorld bet he could think up a million impossible things before breakfast
