      Hillarious how he was basils main antagonist throughout the episode in being wise to his bullshit and yet by the end, he has had a good time and leaves happy as opposed to the other friends who probably never spoke to Basil again 🤣🤣

    I felt bad for Basil, actually. Sybil stormed away in the car before he could explain, and then had to concoct all the stuff here with their friends. I love it when Basil took Sybil into the kitchen after she sees all their friends and says, as he locks her into a cupboard, "I'll explain everything in a moment", leaving her to realise that he did remember their anniversary, that their friends turned up, but she misunderstood him and stormed out in a huff for her pointless golf game, leaving him in the lurch. Having Manuel and Terry fight on the kitchen floor over paella were further clues as to Basil's intentions for their meal that day!

    • @midgetwars1
      @midgetwars1 9 місяців тому +4

      I think my favourite part is that he calls it the tricky bit, but it's actually one of the more easier things to explain. He invited friends over and she left and he had to lie. The one with the girl that he was "crazy" for was way more difficult since he lost his proof

    • @latenightlogic
      @latenightlogic 5 місяців тому +3

      Agreed. The last sentence you’ve written seals the deal for me too. Of course Fawlty Towers never leans into sentimentality but I like how it’s implied here. I’ve always felt this one.

      @JangoFett220 4 роки тому +7

      Yeah through a rewatch of the show I’ve seen that Basil is very much more deserving of Sybil than she is of him, the psychiatrist episode especially where she berates him because she thinks he’s flirting with the australian woman, including slapping him in the face and not letting him sleep in his own bed for it despite the fact she does that kind of thing all the time

    • @munimathbypeterfelton6251
      @munimathbypeterfelton6251 3 роки тому +4

      She was a gold digger. Basil owned the hotel, so Sybil knew that when her husband died she would inherit the property. That was the only reason she married him.

    • @muk8804
      @muk8804 2 роки тому +12

      @@munimathbypeterfelton6251 utter rubbish. The cast have said in interviews that the backstory was that Sybil was a bar maid and met Basil when he came drinking in her pub after he'd returned from his national service and they decided to open a hotel TOGETHER. SO take your utterly unfounded mysogyny elsewhere. Basil is quite obviously an total snob who's thinks that he can fake being a member of the aristocracy with no real personality. That's the whole joke as John Cleese has said.
