Fawlty Towers - S2 E6 - Basil the Rat
Added 2024-08-01 13:00:18 +0000 UTCAnother day, another show completed!! I wonder if these have any bloopers worth while.
I loved this show and understand why it is an absolute favorite! Hope you guys had as much fun as I did with it. Soon on to whatever comes next... I have to do some research.
Anywho, wishing you all the best!

2024-08-30 09:14:26 +0000 UTCI loved this show but the only person that spoiled it for me was the chef. Did you see him corpsing a couple of times watching this? It kind of breaks the fourth wall for me when everyone else is on top of their game. It's interesting you don't like theatre plays when you work in one! :D I must admit, I don't either. They always remind me of school plays because most of the actors over-act, over-project and over-articulate/enunciate.

2024-08-06 03:49:15 +0000 UTCShooting stars will be good as just one of episodes similar to how you do WILTY. It's very Bob, completely bizarre!

2024-08-05 13:19:34 +0000 UTCFor some reason I thought she'd already done Father Ted. Seen multiple reactions to it but it's a show I always happily watch again!

2024-08-05 13:16:45 +0000 UTCLooking for a new show? Have you considered Flight of the Conchords?! Not British but a similar sense of humour.
JR
2024-08-05 13:14:45 +0000 UTCI don't know if it's something you would do a react video too but this is a fun watch for some behind the scenes info on the show. (Sadly it's in 3 parts) https://youtu.be/U1MOdntdKa8?si=Dn3l8vd2r2GHFZPg Plus in part 3 it has a German speaking Manuel doing a Spanish accent? Also Manuel as an Italian in the Spanish version.

2024-08-02 22:16:21 +0000 UTCThis link crashed about 7 times on Dailymotion. I donβt know what Iβm doing wrong, or if it makes a difference whether you sign up.

2024-08-02 22:05:26 +0000 UTCOFAH is one of the best written shows ever. I wonβt be upset if you donβt watch it soon though, only because I recently watched it. I suggest Friday Night Dinner or Father Ted. Purely based on how popular they were on other channels. Or if youβre going to tackle Alan Partridge you can either start with βKnowing Me Knowing Youβ, the first proper Patridge show, or you could start with βThe Day Todayβ, a 6 episode sketch show where the character begins on tv (which is very wacky and has someone youβll recognise from IT Crowd)

I don't know why Spanish is famoso for doing that, on the contrario; totally imaginario. For ejemplo if they would examino a diccionario rapido they'd see how incorrecto that is. I'm not that industrioso and it would be laborioso. So folks might find it impetuoso and odioso.π€ͺ (Dont be furioso you're still fabuloso.)π

2024-08-02 06:25:02 +0000 UTCIt's so good that you 'get' and appreciate British Comedy. Do you have 'One Foot In The Grave' on your long list? Really funny series and amazingly written. 44 eps though. Might be worth an episode or two at some point in the future, just to see what you think.

Danny
2024-08-01 19:10:57 +0000 UTCAh, now we're talking! Superb episode and such a shame it's the end but they definitely went out on a high! Basil's "Not hot enough!" followed by his pained yelp as he realised the plate was scalding hot always makes me laugh out loud - with all the chaos it can be the most random, almost throwaway bits that make me laugh the most! Haha! Been a pleasure watching this show with you, Mandy! Glad you have enjoyed it so much! Like a few others, I also recommend Only Fools and Horses. At 64 episodes, many of the later ones feature length, it is quite the prospect for your channel, but it's a wonderful show, a British classic, and I am sure you'd really enjoy it! π

Jeffrey44
2024-08-01 18:47:34 +0000 UTCFawlty Towers is the comedy all other British sit-coms are judged against. In terms of other classic British comedies, Blackadder and Only Fools and Horses are up there.

2024-08-01 18:05:48 +0000 UTCHey, that was great. Another show ended, but I'm looking forward to whatever you pick next. Just don't let yourself be influenced. As for the best pet debate, forget hamsters and rats; ferrets win hands down. I used to keep them years ago. I had one called DEREK. It might sound like a strange name for a ferret, but DEREK suited him. I used to take him out for walks, and he would toddle off on his own. All I had to do was shout "DEREK, DEREK, DEREK," and he would come running, bless him. I loved that little guy.π Anyway, like I said, whatever you pick will be good. As always, thank you, Mandy. π€π€

John George
2024-08-01 16:36:59 +0000 UTCThe issue with rats (and pigeons) for a lot of people is the strong association with disease. Also, compared to hamsters and gerbils which the most common pet variety are sourced from deserts, rats tend to be freer with their urine distribution.
Z is for Zed
2024-08-01 16:29:57 +0000 UTCβHe put basil in the ratatouille? AHHHHHβ π€£π€£ Manuel is the best! Also on the boxset DVD, John Cleese said in an interview that he planned to do a 90 minute special of fawlty towers in the mid-90s where a now retired Basil and Sybil fly to Barcelona to visit Manuel and his family. Unfortunately they never got round to making it π’ Another show that went by too fast!
