Eric idlE,

75, is writing his memoir — Always look On The Bright Side Of life. ‘We used to be babe magnets. Now we’re fridge magnets,’ says idle. ‘it was time to tell my tale before i suffer from Hamnesia, which happens to elderly actors.’ His ‘sortabiography’ will boast anecdotes with Sir Mick Jagger, Steve Martin, Paul Simon — and, of course, the other Pythons.
