I've heard that Cleese, after he left the show, had a brief cameo in 'The Golden Age of Ballooning'. Does anyone know where he is? Feedback would be greatly appreciated.
I can't lie to you about your chances... but you have my sympathies.
I don't know if Cleese might've had a cameo in "Golden Age of Ballooning"; what I am aware of is that the Complete Monty Python's Flying Circus book (the words), vol. 2, stated that near the start of "Light Entertainment War", a brief shot of a surgeon in his mask was supposedly Cleese (and it does look rather like him); but I've since read that that was actually Douglas Adams.
For more feedback, hold a microphone next to a speaker.
