Michael Palin does Biggles … and Algy … and Ginger

Michael Palin* – a Biggles (!i) fan as a 12-year-old – reads a story he wrote in the style of W.E. Johns

The video, with Danish subtitles, is of an (almost) solo performance in The Secret Policeman’s Ball (1979).*

See also a 2013 piece on W.E. Johns by Patrick Cockburn in The Independent: Biggles flies uncensored.*
