Fawlty Towers

Post Reply New Topic

Have any of you seen this program?

I caught an episode last night on PBS. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard at anything british besides Mr. Bean.

You've never seen Fawlty Towers before? Unbelievable. "You'd better go and lie down before something else happens!"

It's not exactaly an easy show to get in the US some public stations have it but not many I wish they still had it were I live

I'm really surprised too, to hear that Fawlty Towers isn't well known in the US. It's pretty much an institution in Australia as well. Only M*A*S*H has had more re-runs.

I have the boxed set of the series and we watch them pretty often, It's one of the funniest series ever. I love John Cleese. It was on here in the US for years, but that's been some time ago.

I used to love watching that show. I dunno if it's still on and I know I was very young when I did watch it, but I never watch tv anymore so even if it was on I wouldn't be seeing it..

My family has some old tapes of it; we love it. John Clease. Heh. Hilarious stuff.

In England, it's on (can't remember the rest of the channel name)gold sometimes.
Fawlty towers, according to some research/study or something, Basil Fawlty may well be an aspie.

i watched fawlty towers when it was on bbc1, but there as a double dvd on promotion in a newspapers not too long ago,,, as i work ina shop i got the dvds for nothing.. togeteher have about 12 eps of fawlty towers. my favorite one has to be the one where mr fawlty is showing a rather irritating woman her room, and she complains that in the brochure it stated the room had a sea view. mr fawlty says the sea is over there, and the woman replies 'well its not good enough!' ... then complains about the bath and the radio lol

...please? That 768x576 one's waaaaaaaaaaaay too big for the forum and makes the rest of the text hard to read. Cheers.

It's a classic.

My personal favourites:

"A Touch of Class"
"The Builders"
"The Hotel Inspectors"
"The Germans"
"The Kipper and the Corpse"
"Basil the Rat"

Basil : "May I have your orders......orders....which MUST be obeyed at all times !"

Manuel : "I tell her you go to see girl in window , she go crazy....crazy !"

I love Fawlty Towers and just about all British humor.

I've watched Fawlty Towers for a long time now. Have the very short series on dvd. The German episode is my favorite so far.
