Monty Python legend Eric Idle takes us on his ten song journey on the latest episode of Tracks Of My Years.

Although perhaps best known for his time with John Cleese, Michael Palin, Terry Jones, Graham Chapman and Terry Gilliam, Eric's had a rich and varied career as an actor, writer and singer.

After Monty Python he created another sketch show Rutland Weekend Television, and hosted Saturday Night Live four times. He also worked in films The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, Nuns on the Run, Splitting Heirs, Casper and Shrek the Third.

Eric made his Broadway debut in 2005 with 'Spamalot', his adaptation of Monty Python's Holy Grail. The show was huge commercial success; won a Tony and a Grammy, and is still playing around the world nearly 20 years later.

Other notable achievements for Eric include his own Radio 1 show, co-writing and singing the theme tune to 'One Foot In The Grave' and appearing as 'Hedgehog' on The Masked Singer.

This September Eric's going to be touring the UK with 'Always Look On The Side Of Life Love' - his first solo tour of the UK since 1973.
