Do we have any Fawlty Towers fans in the room?

Personally I think its John Cleese at his best lol...

Both are great.

Haha, Cleese plays some good authority figures... I especially like him in ''The Germans'' and Monty Python's ''The Funniest Joke in the World'':

I haven't seen Fawlty Towers for aaaaages but I liked it.

Do prefer Father Ted though, I might still be Catholic if I had them as my priests :lol:

Been going through Red Dwarf again recently too which is fab.

Have you seen Peep Show? It's more recent but so funny. It's done as very literally from the point of view of two housemates, see through their eyes and you also hear their thoughts.
