Re: Fawlty Towers, Basil's Best Bits
Basil: Is there something wrong?
German Guest: Will you stop talking about the war?
Basil: Me? You started it.
German Guest: We did not!
Basil: Yes, you did. You invaded Poland.

Re: Fawlty Towers, Basil's Best Bits
I must say I never really liked Fawlty Towers.
It was a one trick pony which every week built up to Cleese doing an OTT rant.
Surprised they still show it in this PC age with its racist content too.

Re: Fawlty Towers, Basil's Best Bits
Fawlty Towers Mrs Richards: When I pay for a view, I expect something more interesting than that.
Basil: But that is Torquay, madam.
Mrs Richards: Well it's not good enough.
Basil: Well may I ask what you expected to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney 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!
Guest: I'd need a telescope to see that.
Basil: Well might I suggest you move to a hotel closer to the sea. Or preferably in it.

Racist content? Like what was in Till Death Us Do Part, Love Thy Neighbour, Rising Damp, etc, you mean?
We were supposed to laugh at the bigots portrayed in those shows because of their ignorance. You didn't catch on then, and you're just as thick today.

Re: Fawlty Towers, Basil's Best Bits
Two moments from the dead body episode always crack me up - Basil being interrupted in mid rant by Sybil quietly telling him he's got a kipper sticking out from the top of his jumper and an exasperated and hungry Geoffrey Palmer "saying "I'm a doctor and I want my sausages" - what on earth has the first thing got to do with the second thing :hehe:?

Loved that episode as well. Loved the bit where one of the old ladies has started screaming at the body, Polly's slapped her and knocked her out and Basil says "oh spiffing, well done, two dead, twenty five to go"

[to Polly]
