Monty Python star John Cleese has taken another swipe at his former co-star Michael Palin.
The 84-year-old has been embroiled in a jokey feud with Palin, 81, ever since Cleese labelled him as "boring" earlier this year.
During an interview on Saturday, Cleese continued with the verbal swipes as he pretended not to know Palin.
Appearing on BBC Radio 2, host Romesh Ranganathan broached the subject after Cleese seemingly offended his co-star, Sally Boazman.
When Ranganathan asked Boazman if she'd met Cleese, the traffic news reported admitted: "I have, we met outside and the first thing he said to me was, 'nice to meet you, you look very silly.'"
Cleese jumped in to add: "She's got this multicoloured beautiful dress on with all sorts of shades..."

"That's not what the implication was John, the implication was that I looked silly," Boazman argued sternly, to which legendary actor Cleese replied: "Yes, it's the highest compliment."
"It didn't endear me to you, I have to say!" Boazman confessed, causing Ranganathan to chime: "Oh, wow, Sally! You've gone in really two footed here on John Cleese," The Express reports.
The screenwriter quipped: "Yes, she's a bit like that, you know." The conversation prompted Raganathan to state that Cleese's long-term pal Palin shared this opinion of Boazman when he first met her.
Quickly taking the opportunity to make another dig at the Monty Python legend, Cleese asked: "Michael who?"

He went on to deliberately mispronounce his former co-star's surname. Seemingly unable to hold back, Cleese also shared his belief that he looks younger "than the rest of the Pythons" despite the fact most of them are "much younger than me".
The digs come after Palin responded to Cleese labelling him "boring," back in May, as he hit back by arguing Cleese "couldn't have done it without me" while talking about their hugely successful comedy troupe.
"John is scintillating, we all know that. It’s in his passport," the actor stated.
Speaking on This Morning, he added: "I really enjoy playing boring characters, and I’ve done a few, including the most boring man in Yorkshire, Eric Olthwaite [from Ripping Yarns].

"But you know, you just talk about rainfall all the time, and shovels. And putting a shovel next to the other one. It really irritates people who think they’re interesting.
"You go back to Python, and I always played the boring character, but John couldn’t have done without me.
"You had to have someone selling the parrot, or someone in the argument sketch to play off.
"So I think I’m going to continue to bask in John’s compliment that I’m boring. The more boring I can be the better."
