No it wasn't it had loads of themes running through it . In fact Manuel was probably the weakest link .
Only Fools and Horses was supermarket humour . Package holiday ......Nice enough break but you couldn't wait to get home .
For the sort of people who thought Micheal Barrymore on itv , Saturday night , was funny
Barrymore was crap more like Fawlty I would say.

Not really funny is it?
People from Madrid aren't like that, it's like cartoon humour.
Lets hope there is a return for the Black and white minstrel show and Bless thy neighbour
Early Doors was recently or still is on BBC4 , so is probably available on iPlayer. Great stuff, well written.
Dad's Army is probably my favourite though, and managing to keep it going for over 80 episodes is a reflection of how good Jimmy Perry and David Croft were.
Yes, but they made it, the last few were just to finish it off they weren't meant to be funny, and most people loved the characters by then, it was just to finish the story if you liked the series it was brilliant.
Half the country can't be wrong.
"Time on Our Hands" is an episode of the BBC sitcom Only Fools and Horses. First screened on 29 December 1996, it was the final episode of that year's Christmas trilogy and the fifteenth Christmas special overall. It attracted a television audience of 24.3 million, a record for a British sitcom. In the episode, the Trotters finally become millionaires. It had initially been intended to be the series finale, but creator John Sullivan wrote three more specials that were screened annually between 2001 and 2003, starting with "If They Could See Us Now".
A lot of people watch the euro vision song contest
That doesn't mean it's any good
All humour has its time but some humour dates very quickly
Only Fools , One Foot etc didn't take long to age in my opinion
Whereas fawlty towers and porridge and a lot of the two Ronnie's sketches keep well
We rewatched all of Reggie Perrin and Yes (Prime) Minister over the summer.
Perrin was dire. Absolutely cringeworthy. Nothing like what we remembered.
Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister was even better with age. Beautifully written and acted. Still relevant after 40 odd years.
Loved Fawlty Towers, I’ve seen them all plenty of times and still laugh.
Sadly these days people are looking to be offended, some people seem to enjoy it. John Cleese isn’t one to hold back but i just sense it will be a bit rubbish.
This is what people don't seem to get
Cleese in the original Fawlty Towers was taking the piss out of racist old twats afraid of foreigners whilst really being afraid of himself
But if Cleese of recent times makes Fawlty Towers again he's not going to have to get in character as he already is a miserable old bigot
