Over sensitive about comedy . And commenting to delete. Is rather petty. Suppose they rather have people upset and fueled watching war and politics than laughing and sitcoms from years ago . Thats not the type of world i wish to be in. Love faulty towers.
Lol. Smiles and laughter is ubiversal. Comedy poinnts out issues , brings people together, and thats why its being regulated. I think people miss the point and are offended based on their own prejiduce. There are comedians i like and those i dont, it does not mean i complain or report those i dont like . I try avoid propaganda.
I remember watching it when it originally aired in the 70s. I couldn't believe it when the Faulty Towers sign read "Flowery Twats" at the beginning of one of the episodes. I spat my tea with laughter.
Jim Dandy There’s a scene at the start of an episode where kids are changing the letters on the sign. “Watery Fowls”, “Fatty Owls” etc. Fantastic British comedy. All gone I’m afraid.
Totally agree. Fawlty, Sybil, Manuel, Polly, guests like Mrs Richards, the American, the late great Bernard Cribbins spoon salesman were all brilliant but I always adored the Major (Especially as a Cricket fan!) The Major "I knew a woman once. I must have liked her, I took her to see India.......... at the Oval!
@@markguest2687a ha ha ha ha major is brilliant. I would of loving to see a spin off about major and his daily routine and interactions with the good people of Torquay
Only just watched the 12 episodes they released of this a week ago. It’s absolutely hilarious, seriously timeless and that’s coming from me, born in 1997. Makes me feel sad that they only released 2 seasons. But it was enough to make a mark in the world!
Cleese dijo que, aunque hubiera podido hacerlo, consideraba que continuar la serie hubiera hecho que ésta perdiera eficacia cómica. Es verosímil que estuviera en lo cierto, aunque uno lamenta no tener más episodios. Pero la serie era tan extraordinaria que uno sigue riéndose prácticamente igual que cuando vio por primera vez cada uno de esos pocos episodios.
The Work Major "No, No! I won't have that!... ..there's a place in Eastbourne!" Thank-you! The Actor of many years classic professional work- Balard Berkeley!
No doubt THE funniest sitcom ever....they can stop trying to do one nbetter because it can't be bettered. Cleese is the Grand Master of Comedy with his expressions and perfect timing...
Classic comedy like this is dead we’re served up pc crap ,they tried remake Porridge total disaster stars like John Cleese ,Ronnie Barker are in a different league from any of today’s so called comedians .
Cleese explained that they didn't do comedy but a "farce". Which increses in intensity and absurdity until it reaches its climax and ends. That's how all episodes are structured. Which is why it is so "fast" and still enjoyable today.
I remember my dad showing Fawlty Towers to me and my brother for the first time, we rolled our eyes expecting some lame old TV show. How wrong we were, absolutely loved it and one of my favourites to this day.
Prunella scales❤what an absolutely lovely human soul.🤗 So 😂😂 how she managed Mr Fawlty😁😂 Watched her with (hubby) Timothy on their canal journeys, With both admiration.&. adoration!! Tinged with a little sadness! Due to her declining health.😔 Still absolutely beautiful through soul mind. The cast of Fawlty Towers. How could you describe it other than simply. Brilliance!
What many people may NOT know is that John Cleese produced a lot of excellent, professional training videos years ago too, aimed at sales companies. They were absolutely hilarious! But very informative and educational at the same time.
Brilliant! Has TV comedy ever been as good as this before or since? Cleese did for the television series what the Marx Brothers did for film. Superb supporting cast as well.
Great compilation ... I never realized how well scripted the 'salad cream' scene was .. just another little genius gem, amongst its more celebrated comedic 'jewels' ... We shall not see their likes again ... after all, it's been almost fifty years ...Monumental!
Modern TV is too serious and it seriously lacks comedy. Will any of today's programmes (either on TV or Netflix) be remembered as classics in 20-30 years?
My dad recorded Fawlty Towers when I was a kid , and I watched that vhs over and over again year after year. When I was slightly older I realised that one episode was missing and I seen 11 episodes dozens of times but there was an episode out there that I had never seen. When people always say that they wish there was more episodes of Fawlty Towers , that’s what I had . A brand new episode 🥳🥳
@@richallenxbox1976 that will be the case for people in the future. If they find that episode on dvd it’ll be a brand new episode. In my case my dad recorded them on vcr but missed one - but I didn’t know. Then years later I was watching it on tv and I realised I’d never seen it before !! It was the Waldorf Salad ep 🤣
Aye, same 'ere thanks to the 'old man' (RIP)👍. Couple of 3 Hour vid's (he recorded from BeeB 2 ) with all 12 I rinsed right out + no 'long play' which would be a *DREAM* tbh. 12 hours worth of this! (If only eh ;-) 🔥. (Props Commentaries on DVD too)
Awe, that 1st line from The Major in 'Waldorf Salad' 😁 (Bless him 😳). That, the Bernard Cribbins one (Hotel Inspectors) + The Kipper & The Corpse are personal faves, but then again they ALL are. So many amazing other great characters + cameos in a mere 12 episodes which NEVER tire & Bless ALL who contributed to this entertaining bliss.😍
John Cleese is " Spitzenklasse"..!! :-) The forgotten approach to comedy. Now its more about the direct attacks from a stand up person. This was far more sophisticated and much more close to life somehow.
@@golden.lights.twinkle2329 It was briefly removed by the BBC two years ago but then reintroduced, so it's not "banned" at all... Besides, the BBC is just one organisation.
They was the good old days of comedy, but now it's dated and there's no comedy , but you can't add any now for the public to laugh at, it's gone forever
The actress, Joan Sanderson, was magnificent as ever. Wonderful. How lucky was the UK to have had such a huge compliment of talent over the years? Sadly missed today as no-one can compare.
Fawlty Towers was one of the most brilliant comedies ever made.The great comedies of the past wouldn't be allowed on air now because we've all become so childish about what we laugh at.
After dealing with customers in a repair industry it's easy to understand Basil. They are annoying mostly. But I did meet a nice young lady and spent some time talking about surfing.
I laughed so hard I popped a bollock 😱 but god darn it, it was worth it 😂 thanks for the upload 👍 I'm off to Google how to fix a popped left meatball 🤔 🙏 for me
This show is so insane!! I love British TV. I grew up listening to BBC radio all the wonderful stories and plays. I am fond of the British too, esp in their dedication to literacy and their left brain approach of practicality and discipline. : ) Long live the Queen lol for now
