Prunella scales who plays basils wife Cybill faulty is a brilliant actress, yes the way she makes you angy is excellent Polly or Connie Booth during the show was John Cleese real wife The visitors are supposed to be American
6:22 _"Polly is great"_ (in your square american mind🤪) because she's the normal type character written in mainly to contrast with the funny characters. A standard technique in comedy since centuries back.
