Fawlty Towers

[oscarina]

Just been watching some reruns of Fawlty Towers and still it makes me laugh and I am not easily amused! Best Sitcom in my estimation!

[mightyWBA]

Totally agree.
Absolute classic :-)

[MarkRae]

Seconded.

Totally agree, every line brilliantly scripted and so far has not been bettered in my opinion.

Hi CARABINT!
Que ?

[Caladon]

Mrs Richards: When I pay for a room I expect somthing more interesting than that.
Basil: That is Torquay, Madam
Mrs Richards: Well, it not good enough.
Basil: Well...may I ask what you were hoping to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House Perhaps? The Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeests sweeping majestically....

Brilliant

[weecalf]

Frowsy wattle to that then .

[mccfluff]

Favourite episodes - the Germans and the gourmet evening

I was on holiday over Xmas and met 2 Americans. We did a UK TV Comedy quiz. They said they wouldn't be much use as they only knew Benny Hill and "that hotel show"!

to continue with caladon's lines.

........well I shall expect a reduction!
Why? .....because Krakatoa isn'r erupting!

Absolute class, glad they made only 12 and didn't flog it to death. More laughs in one episode than in whole season of lesser sit coms. It really was based on a realTorquay Hotel owner!

American guest wanting Waldorf salad! Sorry we are out of Waldorfs!

[boxtops]

I liked the one with the rat in the tin of biscuits.....

[Quentin_Crisp]

Cleese and co only made 12 episodes - little is sometimes best - and ALL complete classics.

Top 3 comedy shows of all time - gotta be :)

[Caladon]

Agreed. Top 3 of all time classics, with Blackadder being up there too
