  Michael Palin Receives Lifetime Achievement Award

  Last night, Michael was in Dublin to collect a Lifetime Achievement Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Arts from University College Dublin for his work over the past five decades.
  
  Around two-hundred people filled the FitzGerald Debating Chamber in the Belfield Student Centre to hear Michael reminisce about his work and life as a Python.
  
  He said of the occasion: “I’m very grateful because Ireland played quite an important part in my life story and this probably accounts for why I feel very much at home when I come here.”
