The comedy genius behind Monty Python’s Life of Brian Terry Jones has been diagnosed with dementia.
The news came as Bafta announced he had been given the special award for outstanding contribution to film and television
A spokesman for the writer, director and former star of Monty Python said: "Terry has been diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia, a variant of frontotemporal dementia.
"This illness affects his ability to communicate and he is no longer able to give interviews. Terry is proud and honoured to be recognised in this way and is looking forward to the celebrations."
