Biography
Born in Colwyn Bay, Wales, in 1942. While studying medieval history at Oxford he met Michael Palin, who would wind up being one of his partners in crime in Monty Python. They would go on to revolutionize the TV scene through the absurd humor of Monty Python’s Flying Circus, considered a media highpoint. When the Python crew made the big leap to cinema, Jones took charge of directing all of their films: Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975), Life of Brian (1979) and The Meaning of Life (1983). After the group broke up, he made the films Personal Services (1987), Eric the Viking (1989), The Wind in the Willows (1996) and Absolutely Anything (2015). He has also written different screenplays and books, both novels as well as studies on the medieval era.
