Palsy old chap

The funniest part for me is that he doesn’t even try to restart the car after he gives it the countdown, but the whole scene is comedy gold, if ever I need cheering up I come here.

Was there any better comedy in British Television? this has to be the best of the best.

Classic

Cricket gag edited to appease those easily offended.

Have a look at Manuel’s face when Basil throws the cream into the spoon salesman’s face! He gets it more than Bernard Cribbens!

When Basil is trying to mime the horse’s name to Polly, he mimes the second syllable (fly) by pointing to his flies. Polly immediately says “small”! How does she know? Maybe there’s something going on between Basil and Polly that we’ve never noticed?😂

America brought Fawlty Towers & did away with the Character Basil Fawlty that the entire comedy is about! Course it failed, but it’s such a British comedy, nobody else could ever make it work so perfectly👍

He cracks up every time!! Definitely a Daily Telegraph reader!

I love her so much that laugh 😂😂

Basil i think we got something😂 Mrs Richards what?😂 Basil i think we got something😂 Mrs Richard’s what are you doing 😂 Manuel QUE!😂

The thumbnail 😱

How my dad laughs when he’s had half a dozen beers.

After all these years, still brilliant!

Well, as long as I amuse the staff. Thats all Im here for, really.......... Quick wit, dry humor, ascerbic, perfect delivery. .........I give you John Clesse

My son and I have used this bit of comic relief since he was about 8 years old. When things get confusing. I just sent it to him for this reason and he is 24. 😹😹😹 Yes my AMERICAN SON has loved Fawlty Towers since he was a small child. I think it was Basil’s goose stepping that grabbed his attention.

Its so funny it hurts

Even back then .. Karens!

I could spend the rest of my life having this conversation... 🤠

He references Henry Kissinger in some way in every episode i think

This episode particularly makes me dislike Sybil

I saw this years ago .... but this has made my day ! ................... DAVE™🛑

5.22.❤

DEAR SIR/MRS I WISH TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SLURS INCLUDED IN THIS SKIT

Auslaender raus!

The idiots that ban things like this clearly have no idea of the value of satire in highlighting prejudice

Funniest series ever!!! Loved all episodes 👏👏👏👏👏

1:01 That "moment" where all four of them are staring down at the rat is shot so perfectly 😂😂 And then the timing of Sybil and Polly looking anxiously at Basil, and Basil stammering the famous line - just terrific! 🤣🤣

No-one was ever topless in Fawlty Towers. Don't you think there's already too much clickbait on here?

i finally know what Riccard is now. its a french spirit XD

seferlis

Half a season?...what is wrong with the BBC?

Ooh I know!

Only here could the Major walk his gun right through the lobby as if invisible

comedy does not get any better than that

Genius

I love Polly so much. Sweet, smart, beautiful, not afraid to stand up for herself. Lovely girl.

J Cleese was wise to get actor Ballard Barley his portrayal of an ex army type was cleverly done not heard aboke him being cenored by the communist woke lunatics but comedy is comedy isant it ? If its not the far left marxist robots its the Fundementalist nutters from Iran demanding that we all go backwards in time to the 7th century ? Cabt see that working well for anyone

This is the only episode that shows Sybil to be physically violent/abusive towards Basil.

The Basil war dance !

Lov yer Polly darling ! X

Karma

_"He put Basil in the ratatouille???"_ "...Yes!" "AAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Brilliant comedy 👏👏

"IT'S AVOCADO!!"

Fantastic character, the Major was brilliant, another part of faulty tower's that made it so great.

if you not done it yet, every time Sybil shouts at Basil

I love the low budget sets on these old bbc dramas - so comforting

The way the doctor sees Basil jumping for joy - you have to pause to catch the exact moment and Geoffrey Palmer's bewildered look because it happens so quickly, but it's worth it.

The way Basil causes the fire by his ludicrous instruction to Manuel to 'start the chips' - unbeatable.
