Apparently Milligan in his typical bi-polar way would veer between saying he was proud to have been the catalyst in sending the Pythons off in the absurdist direction, to "those bastards stole my idea!"
Lets see how Johnson classifies MIlligan, perhaps " I never perceived him as a comedian, more as a poetic manic-depressive musical comedy plumber".
