Cleese: No more Fawlty Towers

[Nine Bob Note]

Jees, Polly has aged horribly - Sybil still looks pretty good tho

Booth is now 65 years old, so I shouldn't expect her to look any different.

I'm guessing Scales is wearing a wig (though she always has) but I expect she'd look older without it, and Cleese is no stranger to cosmetic surgery.

"Sydney Opera house, perhaps? The Hanging Gardens of Babylon!? Herds of Wilderbeast sweeping magestically *arm-sweeping motion perfectly in time with 'magestically'*..."

You're thinking of Manuel's granddaughter.

I bow to your superior knowledge. I have not been repeatedly watching the DVDs of the show to get word perfect, and to recall the actions as perhaps you have. It is bloody funny though, and I remember the laughter and enjoyment if not the exact words.

Which of you is Man With Beard?

Yes, Connie Booth.

Great series
Glad it is being left alone

Can't beleive that the US even attempted to reproduce this?

Should the UK do a remake of The Wire?
We could call it 'The Bill' or 'The Thin Blue Line' if we did?

I'm going to make a UK version of the A-Team one day.

I'd like to see that.

Set in Norfolk. With the Gerneral Lee becoming an Austin Maxi called 'The Bernard Mathew'.

I think it's great they only ever cut 2 series - by contrast most successful comedy programmes milk it way beyond it ceasing to be funny, e.g. The Simpsons or Fools And Horses.
Better to leave us with just a small number of episodes of a standard that few can even approach IMHO.

I think Fawlty Towers is great but sometimes find it almost too painful to watch as I get so embarrased on behalf of Basil

Oh dear. I am turning into one of those people who writes to their MP demanding Phil Mitchel be put in prison aren't I
