My favourite episode of all time!! I grew up watching Faulty Towers, Monty Python Flying Circus, all the MP movies & all the classics British comedy series with my pop. We had the same type of sense of humour! So happy I grew up in a time when comedy was just that funny & entertaining. Nowadays people are offended by everything. I say if you don’t like it, don’t watch it! 🇨🇦❤️🇬🇧🤣
This is one reason why this show could not/should not be remade. It's hilarious but entirely of it's time and was of dubious acceptability even in the 70's....
No it's just that people today seem to no longer understand satirical comedy. This means the remaining intelligent part of the population can no longer enjoy it.
@@captainkirk4519 Right. The crap that is shown today as entertainment proves that not only the programme makers lack a sense of humour, but also the performers and presumably the audience. There are almost only performers who want to be popular at all costs and therefore pander to everyone via the mainstream. Legendary productions such as Fawlty Towers or Monthy Python would no longer be shown today for reasons of piety.
@@x.x.7646 Sadly, comedy tastes change. I recall my parents laughing their heads off at "The Goon Show", and I had no idea why. "Round the Horne" came in the mid sixties and we all laughed at the nonsense on that wonder, and then came Monty Python which my parents didn't find funny at all, but I was on the floor rolling with laughter. Now, just into my seventies, I find very little comedic offerings to be funny at all and like just back with the Goon Show, I'm wondering at what the hell the audience is laughing at. Even nowadays, I sometimes find "I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue" weird in places. I do watch the nostalgic comedy of the seventies and eighties and like myself laughing and the last show that I found really funny was the big tall woman, Miranda. Tastes change unfortunately.

How dare Basil speak to Mrs Lipton the Cook, from you rang m’lord?
If Margolyes' comments are correct then this would have been the easiest piece of writing and acting that Cleese ever did.
Or she's just a total bitch. Who knows, I enjoy them both. There's far worse folk out there than either of those two.
Proper humour brilliant. Totally lost on the snowflakes today
I can't recall how he banged his head!
A moose head in his hotel reception area fell from the wall onto his noggin .
No, he stood up on to the underside of a frying pan Manuel was holding, which Cleese always felt wasn’t enough to knock him out.
@@tunkyslugAlthough he had also just managed to fire a fire extinguisher into his own face.
She looks like Donald Trump

Nothing dubious yah snowflake.
Dubious acceptability, what shite is that? I don’t think it is dubious now FFS
