Fawlty Towers to return

[The Bloop]

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

He slagged off the BBC a few years ago for editing out the Major's descriptions of the Indian and West Indian cricket teams, when showing a repeat, so I guess they won't be offered it this time around.

The major was a daft old racist and said racist things

People were either laughing at him , which was the idea

Or thinking what he said was funny

My mates old man was like that , he's got worse as he's got older , I don't bother with him now

Stuart Lee is a very interesting comedian indeed. Makes his audience think.

The Likely Lads, Porridge and Auf Wiedersehen Pet all came from the excellent partnership of Dick Clement and Ian Le Frenais.

Yup. love stewart Lee. Hope i didn't offend in the previous post, that wasn't my intention.

When a party led by Keir Hardie, a man who was banned from taking part in the "Boring Lectures" for being too boring, is polling around half the vote in opinion polls, you know how much this government has imploded.

Boring! He’s been bloody dead for 108 years, give the man a break!

Rubbish. Times and things move on.

Of course they do.

But it’s hard to argue people are offended about everything, tbh seems to be more to make them current rather than anything of substance.

Always thought Fawlty Towers was overrated, never was a big fan of Cleese.

Millennials just don't understand humour or cleese...There are loads of different cleeses.Red Leicester, Tilsit, Caerphilly, Bel Paese, Red Windsor, Stilton, Emmental, Gruyère, Norwegian Jarlsberg, Liptauer, Lancashire, White Stilton, Danish Blue, Double Gloucester, Cheshire, Dorset Blue Vinney, Brie, Roquefort, Pont l'Evêque, Port Salut, Savoyard etc etc

Again I disagree. I just think some things that were funny back in the 70s aren't any longer. Comics like Frankie Boyle come out with jokes that could be considered highly offensive, and he's got into trouble for many, but he's in huge demand. Jerry Sadowicz had his first ever tour in London a few years ago - it's the first time he could get sponsorship for such a thing.

There are lots of very edgy, controversial comedians, just that humour has moved on. Jokes about the war aren't funny any more. Jokes slagging off homosexuality or black people aren't appropriate any more. The world has moved on.

You didn't offend me and it was fair comment, old fruit.

I think it was his dad that changed the family name from Cheese to Cleese ironically.

This might have gone over my head but John Cleese's father changed the family name from Cheese to Cleese.

Must have been a cleese in the contract.

Singer Judith Durham of The Seekers fame, who recently died, was born Judith Cock. Actress Diana Dors was Diana Fluck.

Actors Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee were originally Chan Kong-sang and Li Jun Fan.

Our Vinnie came into the world as Tan Chee Yioun. When he started to prefix it with
Vincent I've been unable to discover.

It seems those of Chinese ethnicity have their family name first.

Not sure if this is a typo but Hardie was a very different animal to the brown Austin Allegro that leads the Labour Party today.

Past your eyes perhaps.....

She said she'd like to bathe in milk
He said alright sweetheart
And when he finished work one night
He loaded up the cart
He said you wanted pasturised
'Cause pasturised is best
She says Ernie I'll be happy
If it comes up to me chest
And that tickled old Ernie (Ernie)
And he drove the fastest milkcart in the west
