xpingux - October 21, 2006 08:29 PM (GMT)
it's a shame that there were only 12 episodes, but at least it didn't go on for too long so it wasn't ruined.
swiss boy lover - October 21, 2006 08:34 PM (GMT)
yeah it ended in its prime
like green wing.
well, i'm amazed they managed to get through the second series, because john cleese and connie booth were going through their divorce!
thats dedication for ya!
xpingux - October 21, 2006 08:39 PM (GMT)
yeahh!
they both wrote it too i think
swiss boy lover - October 21, 2006 10:54 PM (GMT)
yeah they did.
imagine them sitting together trying to write the script while they were in the middle of sorting out their possessions and stuff. oh the tension!

Sir Richard: I've never been in such a place in my life
Basil [shouting and waving his fist]: You snobs! You stupid stuck up toffee-nosed halfwitted upperclass piles of pus!
:lol: aahha oh Basil! :P

The German episode is the greatest, especially the bit about the firebell when hes getting more and more angry about the guests behaviour, until he ends up exploding a fire extinguisher in his own face. Best comedy sequence ever!
Basil Fawlty: This is typical. Absolutely typical... of the kind of...
[shouting]
Basil Fawlty: ARSE I have to put up with from you people. You ponce in here expecting to be waited on hand and foot, while I'm trying to run a hotel here. Have you any idea of how much there is to do? Do you ever think of that? Of course not, you're all too busy sticking your noses into every corner, poking around for things to complain about, aren't you? Well let me tell you something - this is exactly how Nazi Germany started. A lot of layabouts with nothing better to do than to cause trouble. Well I've had fifteen years of pandering to the likes of you, and I've had enough. I've had it. Come on, pack your bags and get out.
:lol:

and there is the one with the short sighter/deaf really moany woman and she's like where are my glasses?
Basil: they are on your head
woman: what i ca't hear you i left my hearing aid upstairs so i don;t waste the batteries
baisl: on your head ... starts to write it down but gives up when he realises she can't read it
woman: oh gosh why didn't you say anything they were on my head the whole time :lol:

Basil: [yelling at his car] Start! Start, you vicious bastard! Oh my god! I'm warning you! If you don't start, I'll count to three. 1, 2, 3. Right! That's it, you disgrace to the roads! I've laid it on then line to you time and time again! I'm going to give you a damn good thrashing! [Leaves for a few seconds to return with a rather pathetic branch and proceeds to repeatedly hit the the car]
