Space Ship Sequence from Monty Python's Life of Brian

leading from

Terry Gilliam

1. Simon Deering: Do you remember when Terry Gilliam came to see what we are up to chaps ? in his afghan coat and patchouli oil ?
   Dennis Lowe: Tell me more about Terry Gilliam, I must have been the only one doing the bloody work!!........
   
   Simon Deering: Ahh he just popped in one afternoon and wandered about going 'ooh' and 'aah'(24th June 2009, forum at www.alienexperience.com)
2. Bill Pearson: One day a guy came into the workshop and he introduced himself as Roger Christian. He worked on the production as art director and was responsible for a lot of the set dressing, including the Nostromo corridors. Roger was on the scrounge. By this time we had thousands of pounds worth of plastic kit dressing left over, I said to Roger, "If you need some of it, help yourself." Roger was working on Life Of Brian, so he went around and managed to fill quite a few boxes with suitable bits and pieces. This was primarily requited for dressing the spaceship in the scene which Brian is picked up by a spaceship, taken around the earth and then dumped back again. We like to help each other in the industries  (Sci-Fi & Fantasy Models #48, p29)
3. Martin Bower:We kept seeing this strangely familiar face peering around the workshop door, Terry Gilliam was his name, and he needed a few bits for a space sequence he as doing next door for a film called Life Of Brian".
