It seems to have been Jones who came up with the idea of sequencing the sketches in the way that became associated with Python (although Milligan claimed he was already doing it with the Q format). Also his businessmen characters had a curious resemblance to Dirk Bogarde in 'Death In Venice'.
Jones was also, I believe, the main force behind the 'Holy Grail' film, which kept the British film industry on life support at least.
Cleese and Palin are more famous and will get bigger headlines but Jones is at least their equal as a writer, and a greater director.

Palin's tribute was customarily lovely. I don't want to think about when he goes.
