One of the most recognisable figures in British comedy, John Cleese’s career spans six decades - from his early days with the Cambridge Footlights to co-founding Monty Python, co-creating Fawlty Towers, and writing and starring in the Oscar-
nominated “A Fish Called Wanda”.

John Cleese Packs It In is a wry, behind-the-scenes portrait of a comedy legend on the road, battling various ailments, chaotic travel, and his own stubborn refusal to stop. Spanning six weeks on the road, the film captures Cleese unfiltered and on the move - riffing on life, fame, and the absurdity of getting old in front of thousands of fans.

A 30-strong England Men A squad is using the Sports Training Village facilities – including the Team Bath Gym, sports hall, indoor sprint track and St John’s grass pitches – to prepare for Saturday’s match against their All Blacks counterparts at The Rec.

Among the players are Sports Performance students Vilikesa ‘Billy’ Sela and Kepu Tuipulotu, who are making the step up from the England U20 squad and hoping to make their first A appearances this weekend.

Bath Rugby centre Max Ojomoh, who made his senior England debut this summer just days after graduating in Business, is also in the squad. He, like Sela and Tuipulotu, has represented the University men’s 1st XV in BUCS Super Rugby.

Nathan Catt, whose first coaching experience was with the University while playing at Bath Rugby, was back at the STV as part of the England set-up and two current University student rugby players, Freddy Rossigneux and Jamie Howick, had the opportunity to train with the squad during Tuesday’s on-pitch session.

Sela, Tuipulotu and Ojomoh are among several past and present Bath students on international duty this Autumn.

Sports Performance student Enoch Opoku-Gyamfi has been named in the senior Italy squad for the first time for their Quilter Nations Series matches against Australia, South Africa and Chile.
