A lovely writer and performer. A very sweet man, much too nice for his own good...John Cleese
He wasn't so much the Seventh Python as the First Neil Innes... We were very lucky to have him on board. He was a great writer and he was eccentric and he was clever without being pretentious. And he was the warmest of people to be with... he was a most lovely friendSir Michael Palin

'Monty Python and Rutles mastermind remembered with love. Yvonne's grief at his sudden death in 2019 vibrates through Dip My Brain In Joy, but so does Neil's unworldly good humour'4 stars, Mojo
