    🤔 What I find so hard to believe looking back now,at this classic British comedy series. That there were only ever 12 episodes made. Truly unbelievable........

      Maybe there seems more eps due to each ep containing so much comedy and plot lines due to the pair of writers unusually having lots of time to make each episode, and also on a regular basis, each ep went well over the allocated 30 mins, in order to pack everything in.

    Such an iconic British sitcom. For many, John Cleese IS Basil Fawlty, and the reason that the numerous attempted American remakes failed to land was because Americans and Brits have vastly different senses of humour. As a result, many jokes were lost in translation.

    My favourite moment is in episode 2. The hotel gets some terrible renovations, and there's a funny exchange between Basil and Polly over whose fault it is.
    It's also nice to know that Germany wasn't offended by the series. To think they would find 'that' episode funny.

  • @gaskellr44
    @gaskellr44 Рік тому +1

    Think my fave quick skit in FT is the Psychiatrist ep, where Basil is hiding to try to discover the girl staying and hears a noise thinking its her sneaking out, but it's the two husband and wife Psychiatrists, and he exclaims, "Right, the games up. Sorry, just a bit of game pie stuck up there", brilliant. Fave sketch for me is in The Germans, the whole Fire Drill section.

    To think a couple years ago they were pulling 'offensive' episodes from old shows (Fawlty Towers included) that have been shown countless times over the years with no-one caring (or if they did, they simply avoided it!) and hearing that Germans actually found the episode funny is just brilliant, in my opinion! 😅😅
