I won! I’m so excited that I may have to eat a wafer-thin mint!!! I can’t wait till it gets here.

Funny thing, we went to Italy years ago & stayed in a hotel that had been renovated many years over the centuries so the stairways & hallways had multi-levels & turns in odd places very similar to Fawlty Towers!! It was our favourite hotel!

1. In one episode a local youth is seen rearranging the sign.

2. Not that it matters for a comedy (it may even be part of the charm), but “Remastered” is kind of ridiculous here as the video quality of this show was never better than inadequate to begin with. Now we will be able to watch the poorly-made-up actors on the ill-lit sets, filmed with second-rate ’70s BBC cameras, in all it’s glory? Where’s the blu-ray?

I have mulled over buying this set on DVD for years. I respectively request to win this to save me any more stress of making such decision.

Cleese is the classic study of pent-up frustration in this. The pompous Little Englander with ideas above his station, completely henpecked and browbeaten. The ongoing state of barely reined-in chaos summed up by the haphazard and surreal rearrangement of the letters on the Fawlty Towers sign at the beginning of every episode: “WARTY TOWELS”, “FATTY OWLS” etc. I always used to wonder who was supposed to be doing this (as if it really mattered). Local kids? Fawlty himself in a fit of self-destructive pique?

Every episode beautifully written and performed. Like The (UK) Office and Spaced, so glad they didn’t run it into the ground.

Fawlty giving his car a “damn good thrashing” with a tree branch still does it for me.
