I'm 55 now.. watched it with my parents as a child... loved it ever since.. ❤️

I am 58 . I got acquainted with Fawlty Towers and Monty Pythons at the age of 25 ! I never get tired of watching them too !! They were generous ❤❤

* English comedy...

I used to work in a v posh restaurant in London in the early 80's as a commis waitress. We had to do silver service, not always easy to get right! We had customers from all over the world, many v easy to serve. But some of the Brits could be really awkward - one bloke would insist on having tomato ketchup, even with a posh meal, and made quite a big deal of it! (One of our favourite customers!!) After dealing with the likes of this I'd make a hasty retreat to the kitchen, have a crafty cigarette, and watch the Head Chef mess around with some of his prepared delicacies, when in a mean mood! The Head Waiters wore posh gear, and strutted around as if they were 'gods', while we laughed at them, and the (meat & poultry) 'Carvers' would hang around the customers ' tables after serving whatever - it- was, like vultures, waiting for a tip! Yes, these were the days of real characters in real life. If only someone would write a Sit Com about the likes of these...! Basil would be great as the Restaurant Manager! Sibyl as the Cashier, and Polly as a waitress of course! (Maybe she could play my part - the cheeky 18 year old from 'The North' in her first job!!!)

Same here

So true,, I used to think he was over the top mental, these days I think he's quite mild

@@johncampbell5056 not sure if you saw, but John Cleese is doing a reboot of Fawlty Towers

I seen that, bad idea but he has to pay his ex a lot of money in alimony, that's why he's on the circuit a lot

Satisfied* another would imply there are many or have been past satisfied customers which wouldn’t mean you would need to stuff him to preserve the memory him being satisfied as satisfaction would be frequent and thus there would be no need to be reminded that it had occurred before

​@@furdiebant😊😅

And that was 2 years ago. Damn, that makes me feel old!

I'm 47 and have the same effect on my wife

@@silent_il ..the show now 45years old

he is one of a kind that john cleese , sure knows how to make others laugh , i watched the fawlty towers a lot back in the day , and still does now and then , pure classic serie.

Only 43 Try 61.same result😂

It would be pulled down.

@@zbr76 For being problematic and for wrongthink.

BLM would pull it down calling Cleese a racist for his disdain of Germans. 😂

And what is very stupid is that they only made 12 episodes.

They didn't want to make more, for they wouldn't have been as good and would have de-valued the greatness of the little they had made.

He not here.... ☹️☹️☹️

@@777coffeelover that is surprise 😟 a bad sad one

He’s from Barcelona.

K?

@@Mmolesy Que

GG 🤣🤣🤣👏❤️

Plus of course the classic pre line ' What sort of food were you thinking of..........fruit perhaps? Absolute class.

GG Ha ha 'six MINUETS' Reminds me of something my English teacher told me about a note left on an orchestra conductor's door. "Gone Chopin; Bach in a minuet."

Her and that cat..

With 'wouldn't, the apostrophe goes after the 'n' , not before it.

@@stuartbritton7408 when you open parentheses to emphasise a certain word, you have to close them as well otherwise it acts as one of those random floating apostrophes that you hate

@Helen DistantTakedown get to the kitchen

" Her and that cat "

"Is this a piece of your brain"?

Love that episode, it keeps being funny, no matter how often I seen it 😂

I agree. I have that scene memorized it is so great.

@@sebassie25 communication problems... Probably my favourite

I love the character of Mrs Richards! If you've ever worked in retail or customer service thus is the ultimate test of self-control and grace!!!

Good for you! It's 1.40am, 15th.July 2020 and i am watching this series😅

2020/11 Stockholm lockdown 😩😷sun and warm 🌳

@piesbari As a series yes, but amazing as they are none of the actors are even close as good comedian as Cleese is.

@piesbari Overrated and Horses, more like.

Fawlty Towers > Only Fools

Farther ted

@@richardpetty6088 YES!!

In reality you wouldn't order something not on the menu then crack the shits. Maybe Yanks are like that.

The perfect ending , he knew he lost the hotel .

And he also played a General in Full Metal Jacket (the "Peace Button - Duality of Man" scene: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gbN1icyK29XOpI0.html ) - already a FT fan when that came out, I recognized his voice right away!

@Ricky Anthony For Me the best part of that bit was when Basil points at His trousers zip and Polly says "Small". Remember they were married at the time ;-)

Cus early on in the Episode we says that is wgy is dragon and even says " And Polly, not a word to the dragon ( Sybil ) "

@@nonroadusr Haha. They must have had to laugh every line out in the script for weeks before they could film with a straight face. Once in a blue moon talent like that.

@Daniel Stetson Siberian Hamster :0)

“Is this a piece of your brain?”!!!!

And a biscuit? Perhaps some dark coffee too? 😜

Yeo, today even humor has to be politicaly correct. We have castrated the commedy

And, I think, more generally how our chaotic lives really are (in reality) if we wouldn't spare the others with our censorship on what's really going on inside us day to day. 😂

I know! Poor Basil!

Yes Alice....good healthier times.. .Look what the corrupt governments are putting us through... Look how they are all allowing unintelligent brainwashed idiots destroy our culture and heritage..... So sad those Faulty Towers days are gone.....😷

Nope. Large corporations were using them. In fact by the second season the Apple II was taking off.

Blackadder might be a bit better

Jon H *Fawlty Towers

I thought it was the one in which Mr. Fawlty mistook some lady's nipple for the light switch. 😂

What I find even funnier is that Connie Booth (Polly) was Cleeae's wife at the time!!!

@@riversong4997 I bet he wasn't happy about it, lol.

I'm on holiday.

The part when Basil knees down on the floor and slaps the floor in frustration had me laughing in tears and I got minutes long cramps in my stomach muscles. Best episode by far!

‘Is this a piece of your brain?’ from that scene is John Cleese’s favourite joke of the entire show

Absolutely Right

Lol so do I

Dats because you love a woman wit spirit!

@@ubiquitousdiabolus I do.....I do.....

Me too lol
