    Terry Jones has confirmed that he, John Cleese, Michael Palin, Eric Idle and Terry Gilliam will get back together on the stage next year.

    Details of the project will be announced in London on Thursday.

    Terry Jones told the BBC:

    We're getting together and putting on a show - it's real. I'm quite excited about it. I hope it makes us a lot of money. I hope to be able to pay off my mortgage!

    Idle has been tweeting enthusiastically.
