Eric Idle (born March 29, 1943) is a member of the British comedy team Monty Python born in Harton Hospital, South Shields, Durham, England. Eric is also well known as co-creator of "The Rutles" a pop band that parodied The Beatles and played songs largely written by Neil Innes and as a singer of the hit song "Always Look on the Bright Side" that prisoners sang from their crosses during the mass crucifixion scene at the close of the film Life of Brian. Lesser-known broadcast projects in which Idle's clever verbal skills prevailed were the radio series Radio Five transmitted on BBC Radio One and the BBC TV series Rutland Weekend Television.
His film credits include Nuns on the Run (1990) and Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975). He also wrote a science-fiction comedy novel, The Road to Mars.
