Good grief the totty for the day could be the twin brother of my good friend bill. The resemblance is uncanny. Oh how I used to love Fawlty Towers. If I happen to be home Saturday nights they still run reruns of that in the early evening.
ReplyDeleteA doppelganger! Does Bill have a habit of wearing the Union Jack as a sarong?
DeleteInterestingly, there were only ever twelve episodes made of Fawlty Towers - and I can practically recite each one word-for-word! Jx
It was such a good show and he and Prunella Scales were so good together I often wondered why there was only over 12 episodes.?
DeleteQuality over quantity! Unlike so many sitcoms (US and British), the very fact there were only ever the two series means it never got stale, and remains an utter classic. [Of course, the fact that John Cleese and Connie Booth (who wrote it) got divorced in the intervening time between the first run in 1975 and the second in 1979, and the wildly popular Monty Python films were taking up much of John's time, helped].

DeleteI loved the stairs in Fawlty Towers - the unnecessary top section where people went up a couple of steps then down again.

DeleteYes, the sets were rather - ahem - economical, weren't they? The BBC never really had that much money to spend on them, I suppose - think Doctor Who and all those polystyrene rocks... Jx
I’m at attention for the Union Jack.
ReplyDeleteI'm imagining him "saluting" back! Jx
