One of my first posts on the first AW site was to ask which Beatles match which Pythons. The received wisdom was that John Lennon – John Cleese Paul McCartney – Michael Palin George Harrison – Eric Idle Ringo Starr – Terry Jones

(I may have got Ringo wrongo)

Here’s a new one – The Monkees : Friends

Davy Jones – Jennifer Anniston (diminutive, cheeky crowd pleaser) Peter Tork – Lisa Kudrow (geeky, angular one) Mike Nesmith – Matthew Perry (thoughtful, cynical serious-minded one) Mickey Dolenz – Matt LeBlanc (the clown) (I’m going to forget about David Schwimmer and Courtney Cox)

Any other collectives, musical, thespian or comic you’d like to compare and contrast?
