Arise, Sir Michael Monty Python star Michael Palin has been knighted in Britain's New Year's Honours List, alongside former England cricket captain Alastair Cook, while 1960s model Twiggy will become a dame. Palin's knighthood recognises his contribution to travel, culture and geography as a documentary-maker and author. He said the news had not sunk in yet but noted "I have been a knight before, in Python films. I have been several knights, including Sir Galahad." "I don't think it will (sink in) until I see the envelopes addressing me as Sir Michael Palin," said the 75-year-old, who was last in Australia at the beginning of December promoting his latest book Erebus: the story of a ship. Kinda funny, all those years of comedy, but it is his (admittedly awesome) travel documentaries that earned him a knighthood.This message has been edited.

That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on! Look, that rabbit's got a vicious streak a mile wide! It's a killer! He'll do you up a treat, mate. I'm warning you! He's got huge, sharp-- eh-- he can leap about-- look at the bones!! I warned you! I warned you, but did you listen to me? Oh, no, you knew it all, didn't you? Oh, it's just a harmless little bunny, isn't it? Well, it's always the same. I always tell them-- Nice is overrated "It's every freedom-loving individual's duty to lie to the government."
