..is great, innit?

I must have seen those 12 shows more than fifty times each
and they still make me laugh..

if I ever finish all the Alien films, I guess my next
avatar-serial will feature Fawlty Towers, MARK MY WORDS!!

It's a bit outdated, but it's a classic for sure. John
Cleese makes me laugh just by looking at him

All I think about most days is Alan Partridge and Fawlty
Towers... I can't stop myself.

Outdated!! Farces can't be dated! Three silly problems
merging at the same time on the one person is funny to me.

Two guests are speaking to Basil in German.

Basil: Oh, German. I'm sorry, I thought there was
something wrong with you.

It's just my personal opinion. I still think it's funny, but
I guess maybe I've seen it far too many times now.

oh and I love this one..

O'Reilly: The problem with you, Mr. Fawlty, is that
you worry too much. You keep it up like this, you'll have a
stroke before fifty. Stone dead you'll be.
Basil Fawlty: Suits me.
O'Reilly: Oh! That's a dreadful thing to say.
Basil Fawlty: Not at all. Get a bit of peace.
O'Reilly: Don't be so morbid. The Good Lord made the
world so that we could all enjoy ourselves.
Basil Fawlty: Look, my wife enjoys herself. I worry.
O'Reilly: Well, let me tell you, if the Lord had
meant us to worry, he would have given us things to worry
about.
Basil Fawlty: HE HAS! MY WIFE!! She will be back here
in four hours and she can kill a man at ten paces with one
blow of her tongue! How am I supposed not to worry?
O'Reilly: Just remember, Mr. Fawlty, there's always
somebody worse off than yourself.
Basil Fawlty: Is there? Well I'd like to meet him. I
could do with a laugh.
O'Reilly: You'll have to worry for the both of us. I
tell you, if the Good Lord---
Basil Fawlty: ---is mentioned ONCE more, I shall move
you closer to him!

2nd series is coming out on dvd this month.

I'm buying it for the episode where Alan impales his foot
alone. that whole scene with him trying to do his
presentation and wretching all the time.. I haven't laughed
like that in quite a while.. :)

It's more brash than Phoenix nights, it's reall good.

Basil: That is Torquay, Madam.
Mrs Richards: Well, it's not good enough.
Basil: Well, may I ask what you were hoping to see
out of a Torquay hotel bedroom-window? Sidney Opera House
perhaps? The Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of
wildebeest? sweeping majestically?
Mrs Richards: Don't be silly. I expect to be able to
see the sea.
Basil: You can see the sea. It's over there between
the land and the sky.

Then the bit where he mimes to her, so she turns up her
hearing aid to maximum and then he shouts right in her ear.
:D

Best comedy series ever! I would kill for just one
more season. Even one more episode'd be great :-D

But then again, it was probably wise of them to stop while
they were at their peak. Every single episode that exists
now is just flawless... so ingenious, so many jokes... no
matter how many times you see it, it's still funny! :-p

"Whoosh! What was that? That was your life mate. Oh, that
was quick. Do i get another? Sorry mate, that was it.
