John Cleese, untamed: the folly of Fierce Creatures

Alexander Larman, The Telegraph, 12th January 2022Legendary sitcom producer/director Sydney Lotterby dies
Producer and director Sydney Lotterby, whose credits include Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em, Porridge, The Liver Birds and As Time Goes By, has died at the age of 93.
British Comedy Guide, 30th July 2020This very daft yarn about a British zoo reunites the cast of A Fish Called Wanda - though it is not a sequel - and also stars John Cleese. He plays an eccentric manager who, in the face of being replaced by a US hotshot (Jamie Lee Curtis), decides the zoo should only keep dangerous animals. Kevin Kline co-stars in two roles.
