Faulty Towers

[KUSTARD]

Anyone watching the repeats on a Monday? I really looked forward to it but I can't believe how watching it wore me out. I must be getting past it because I felt really stressed!!

FAWLTY

[ichkeria]

You are subconsciously getting into the part of Basil Fawlty ...

[emmie]

that's quite an appropriate misname i must say.

[ToraToraTora]

that's the thing every episode would last 2 mins if Basil did the obvious thing at the start but he digs bigger and bigger holes for himself trying to cover up what is usually something fairly innocuous to start with! I always think...."why doesn't he.......?" - but of course that is the structure of the comedy. Pure genius!

[KUSTARD]

Thank you Emmie. I was asking what people thought of the programme not teaching me to spell or analysing me LOL!!!

[emmie]

no of course, i didn't watch on Monday, but have seen many of the programmes, they are still funny

[KUSTARD]

Yes. I still think they are hilarious but I feel tired watching them!!!

While spelling lessons are being given out, I'm pretty sure it's custard with a c . . .

[davebro]

No - proper names can be spelt however the owner wishes.

Kustard - sorry if my pedantry upsets you. I do try to control myself but it's not always easy.

[KUSTARD]

Not if your surname is Kuss!!!!!

love them, apart from the part of one where Polly pretends to be poorly Sybil ("syb ill") in bed which takes farce to far for me as its not beleivable at all.
We still laugh loudly at some even though we know whats coming- reaching for the lightswitch when that Australian girls doing her exercises, moosse falling on his head, basil squalking like a chicken running into the bar, answering phone as fawlty titties, ect ect

[Ken4155]

Come on, bob, none of it is really believable. The major running around the hotel with a shotgun, trying to kill a rat? Hiding dead bodies in linen baskets? Basil goose-stepping with a finger under his nose and arm outstretched in a Heil Hitler gesture? Unbelievable - but totally priceless comedy.

[Patsy33]

When Polly was pretending to be Sybill being poorly in bed, and woman friend was trying to take a closer look at her, Polly slaps her face! I could hardly breathe for laughing!..

[KUSTARD]

Oh goody goody. Answers getting sensible but you haven’t mentioned the best bit which MUST be Basil attacking his car with that tree branch!!!

[andy-hughes]

I love the little plot bombs that drop in as the episode unfolds, and they all explode at the end.

Genius.

[barry1010]

Found it funny the first time I watched it but not any more.

[woofgang]

same here barry, they are definitely of their time.

[ichkeria]

Your question, to be fair, does suggest you want some sort of self- analysis :-)

[Samuraisan]

When we saw it was coming on again we did groan a bit. But I have to admit we laughed our heads off, yet again.
