Polly was John Cleeses real wife at the time, ( just incase you didn't know. ) 🍻

Keep an eye on the sign - it changes every episode.

I think you’d like blackadder. You can watch any series it doesn’t have to be in order.

I've been locked out of Patreon for a few weeks (people, make sure your email address on Patreon is up to date!). Delighted to see you're doing Fawlty Towers! It's not just brilliant, it's a really important part of British sitcom history, pretty much every British sitcom writer I've seen lists it as a major influence, and it really set the tone for the mix of slapstick, parody, and self depreciating humour that's since been a feature of British sitcoms!

Chemist = A common term here for a pharmacy/drug store, that sort of thing

Good point. Would be interesting to watch them without the laughter. The third series of The League of Gentlemen had no laughter on the soundtrack which i always found weird.

If it didn't have the audience laughter, it would be a dark portrayal of a desperate man losing his mind.

I think he mentioned he was stopping it, I could be wrong I'm like 60% sure

He usually watches it with queen boomer iirc and she has been ill lately, so i guess that is why.

Anyone know if he's paused reacting for Man Down?... Not seen any reactions to it for ages!

Yes, John Cleese was supposed to take a padded pan from the kitchen which had been designed by the props department but in the darkness he took a real one!🤕

John Cleese said in interview the frying pan was real, and Andrew Sachs who plays Manuel was accidentally knocked out.
Which is why it looked real.

I'm glad you noticed the Fawlty Towers sign during opening credits. Keep an eye on those in future episodes. Some cracking anagrams, one I think will totally crack you up.

In the UK a chemist is a pharmacy. The guy wanted batteries for his razor but Basil thought he wanted condoms.
