Cleese: No more Fawlty Towers

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.

wasn't he married to one of those women at some time?
 
"This is Torquay, what do you expect to see, herds of Wildebeests roaming across the plain?"

:mad:

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

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.
 
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 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 :o

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 :(
