Somebody needs to convince John Cleese not to try and add to that if he hasn’t been already. You might be able to get away with a Fawlty Towers without the Major or Miss Tibbs and Miss Gatsby but a Fawlty Towers without Sybil Fawlty, Polly Sherman, and Manuel just won’t cut it.
Don’t mention the war
Poor Manuel.
12 episodes of perfection.

This picture just makes me think f*** Russell Brand.
My friends parents recommended I watch this at our last dinner. Perhaps it’s time to give it a shot

John Cleese and Connie Booth were getting divorced during Season 1.
By the time Season 2 came around they couldn’t stand the sight of each other but were made an offer that was hard to turn down, so they worked again.
When asked for a series 3, it was a solid no from both of them
Fifty-ish years later, this still may be one of the most consistently funny TV shows in the English speaking world.
connie booth….. dayum.

My husband and I did Sybil and Basil one year for Halloween. I sewed us costumes and everything. Absolutely no one got it, lol. But we looked amazing.
Sybil Fawlty: I can’t abide cruelty to living creatures.
Basil Fawlty: I’m a creature and you can abide it to me.
Sybil Fawlty: You’re not living.
