In the short presentation, the former Monty Python star even referred to the frog, which has long legs, as a possible ‘perfect candidate for the Ministry of Silly Walks’. Mr Cleese gave his services free in support of the agile frog – which is not found anywhere else in Britain – while in the Island to appear in a show at the Opera House in aid of the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust.
