  • Chapman rose to fame in the early 1930s in the seminal British comedy Monty's Pile-on Really Hurt Us! where, by all accounts he did very little but drink in writing sessions until he was so utterly bladdered that he was funny. At this point he would yell "PILE-ON!" and the others would all dive on John Cleethorpes. Originally known as "The Gay One" of the group as a result of his cheery demeanour, upon his death he became almost universally known as "The Dead One".

  • Chapman rose to fame in the early 1930s in the seminal British comedy Monty's Pile-on Really Hurt Us! where, by all accounts he did very little but drink in writing sessions until he was so utterly bladdered that he was funny. At this point he would yell "PILE-ON!" and the others would all dive on John Cleethorpes. Originally known as "The Gay One" of the group as a result of his cheery demeanour, upon his death he became almost universally known as "The Dead One". He took the leading role in Python's two good films Monty's Pile-On and the Holy Surprise Box-Office Hit and The Heretical Life of Brian Blessed. He was picked to play the lead in the former role because he was too blotto to sit through makeup, and so could only play one character and the latter because he was actually quite good in the former.
