@@dalriada7554 I think they do this post automatically
I'm honestly not sure if they just made a mistake with the wording here or if they genuinely think that the strike of an America union of writers would effect everything ever made for tv in other countries. lets face it, it wouldn't be the dumbest thing an American has said on RUclips but pretty damn close.
Edit: i have no problem with them supporting the strike or crediting writers or not, but they are literally crediting the wrong people for the show, by name, in the text.
@@Simon-hb9rfThey literally say in the second sentence that this content does not fall under struck content.
@@MrPopTarted after a bit of a think i should perhaps point out besides knowing the strike is a thing i have no idea the details so perhaps the "does not fall under any of the struck categories issued by SAG." implies it wasnt made by them at all. but i have no idea if they have struck everything or just selective parts so perhaps i simply missed the implication. to me that actually implies this is a SAG product but simply doesnt fall within the content that currently has legal issues. it is an implication that requires you to be familiar with the specifics to understand and either way is completely negated by the next line.
I don't think BBC productions from this era were under SAG or AFTRA.
Being British I can safely say that this is top tier content. Bring on more British television!😃
I never thought I'd see the day Blind Wave reacting to a British comedy show :O
Faulty Towers is John Cleese at his best
I'd love to see Monty Python on here
For real haha it's truly a glorious day
With the strikes lasting a few more months at least they can get through so many British shows 😂
Grew up watching re-runs of Fawlty Towers as a kid in the 80’s. I have yet to see a better series, comedy, action or drama. It’s fantastic!
Now I have hope that one day we’ll see Vicious and Blackadder on the channel
God, Vicious has to be one of the best-yet-seemingly-immediately-forgotten-about shows. Disappeared as quickly as it arrived, much to my sadness.
Blackadder would be amazing 😂 especially once they start properly using Hugh Laurie
Blackadder would be so fantastic. Once they get past the first series, at least.
Oh hell yes, absolutely for both of these!
VICIOUS!!!!
The most amazing thing about Basil is that he's based on a real man. It was an actual hotel the Pythons were staying at while filming on location (for Grail, I think), and he was such a nightmare that the entire troupe packed up and left for another hotel--except for John, who hung around to gather material.
Eric Idle had a story about how his case had been moved to an outside wall because the manager thought there might be a bomb in it. Why would there be a bomb in it? Well, they've been having trouble with staff lately.
Interesting.
Very cool
These stories are legend. Four years before Cleese created Fawlty Towers, he tried out the characters on a show he wrote for called Doctor At Large, in an episode called No Ill Feeling. The episode features an unpleasant hotel manager and his domineering wife, and several hotel regulars who jeer the visiting young doctor. The dynamic is a bit different, with the husband more henpecked and the wife more of a rampaging buffalo.
Some of the filming locations are familiar to me as they're a few minutes drive from where I grew up! Interesting titbits!
The actual hotel he got the idea from was in Torquay in Devon. The hotel recently closed.
Rick is going to thrive in this era of unstruck content. And I’m all here for it!
I dont quite understand what you mean but I am also here for it!
@@fabianrocha9924 With the current Hollywood strike, there’s a lot of movies and shows that are technically ‘off-limits’ for the channel to react to if they want to support the strike. Bigger budget, more mainstream shows and movies from Disney, Warner Brothers, etc. are ‘struck content’. Whereas, a lot of lower budget, offbeat, B-movie content from smaller/indie studios or international titles are fair game to react to. Rick seems to really enjoy that kind of stuff (The Room movie for example). He’s always been into more offbeat, unique titles that may not be as mainstream, so with the channel’s temporary pivot to content like that, Rick is gonna have a very enjoyable time I would think.
@@spencercoulter9325 Oh thank you for this. I was getting a little frustrated cuz their Community reactions stopped. Good to know they're supporting the strike.
@@BenJammin29 no prob! I’m glad they’re supporting it too. It’s the right thing to do. Yeah, their Community reactions should be back when the strike has been resolved (nobody knows when that could possibly be unfortunately)
I have never heard Rick laugh so much. He just lost control multiple times in this reaction and it's so infectious!
I think what makes Basil a great character, is that he's just sympathetic enough that you almost want to root for him and see him come out on top, but still unsympathetic enough for you to laugh at him, when things go wrong for him. He's the perfect balance in that regard.

That's a great comment....👌
Cleese and Booth wrote their episodes twice as long (no. of pages) as standard sitcoms, because they didn't want to pause for laughs, but still needed to fill the allotted time per episode. And they mic'ed the stage and the house in such a way that they could keep going non-stop and not lose lines, or laughs. If you feel yourself breathless from laughter, this is the reason. You're not given much of a chance to catch your breath. The physical exhilaration from the comedy is much stronger because of this.
Fawlty Towers is often touted as one of the greatest ever British Sit-coms. Often you'll hear it lose out to shows like 'Only Fools and Horses' and more modern shows that entered the zeitgeist. But it's always a joy to see people discover just how perfectly paced, scripted, acted, and shot this show is. A perfect encapsulation of a pompous man, thawted by his own life - making it one of the most universally funny things you can ever see.
Only Fools and Horses is more popular, and has more heart, but Fawlty Towers is the best.
Greatest in the world! (Denmark aired a lot of british sit coms)
I would say it's the best ever. 12 episodes, all of them masterpieces.
This series is nothing like Blind Wave has ever really reacted to and I'm excited that they do have this opportunity to do something so different.
And now for something completely different. 👍
I'm from Catalonia, Catalan humor is called to be similar to British humor, that's why all the great British sitcoms were on Catalan TV when I was a kid: Fawlty Towers, Red Dwarf, Blackadder, The Young Ones, Monty Phyton Flying Circus....love them all!
Oh, from Barcelona?
😊
@@Escapee5931 Girona, like 100km from Barcelona.
Keeping up appearances is also brilliant.
@@Tyranniod I havent seen this one, I remember Some Mothers do' Ave Them and Little Britain tho.
Polish humor is simmilar too. I would also and "Keeping up Apparences", "Are you being Served?", "You Rang M'Lord" and my personal most beloved "Allo' Allo'".
I'm from the netherlands but my family loved watching Allo allo, Fawlty Tower, Blackadder, Mr Bean, Keeping up Appearances, Dad's Army, the Young Ones, etc etc. The British had amazing comedy shows
Yes I love Keeping up appearances but have not come across anyone else who has watched it until now!
@@jfc8254my wife is Romanian and I have been introducing her to old British comedies and she loved keeping up appearances!
I would like the guys watching all of those shows, but i just can't wait for the "German" episode ! They should also give "Some mothers do'ave em" a watch.
and "are you being served"
Allo Allo is a phenomenal comedy. It was brilliantly dubbed in my country and it didn't take away one bit of the humour.
One of the best TV comedies ever created
This was one of the rare shows that made my father laugh out loud, which he didn’t do often. Make sure you check the sign outside the hotel at the beginning of each episode!
Farty Towels
@@scottyg3406 Flowery Tw*ts
@@kanton4108 That’s the only one that uses all the letters!
Flowery Twats..😂
Polly, the pretty blonde housemaid played by Connie Booth, was John Cleese’s wife at the time.
You may also recognize her from Monty Python and the Holy Grail as the witch with the carrot nose on trial. She also appeared in a number of sketches on Monty Python’s Flying Circus
Interestingly she quit acting after divorcing Cleese and became a psychotherapist! Try not to read too much into that lol
And Zoot and Dingo
@@heathergarnham9555 No, they were Carol Cleveland.
They split between series 1 and 2, which were a couple years apart. That they managed to stay amicable and professional for the job at hand, creating this masterpiece, is a credit to them.
Including the Lumberjack Song
Absolute British comedy classic. Every episode is perfection
The Basil character is based on a real hotel owner called Donald Sinclair. John Cleese called him " the rudest man I ever met" 😂
But John also realised that there's actually something very funny about such a rude person running a hotel. It's like the ultimate "wrong man in the wrong job"
There were only ever 12 episodes made.
I knew that John Cleese had said that he had met the most "delightfully rude" hotel owner. And that it would be great if it weren't for the guests. Didn't knew the name. T Y He was John's inspiration!!!
As someone who’s dealt with aristocracy a lot working at luxury hotels old tattered clothes and luggage is totally accurate. Shabby looking bags that have been handed down was what I saw them always using. It would generally be newly rich people who spend a lot of money on their appearance whilst old money you wouldn’t look twice if you pass them in the street
I learned that as a kid in the '70s. My parents grew up seeing chickens through their floorboards in S. GA during the Great Depression, and had clawed their way up to the middle class, exemplified by my Mother's purchase of a Cadillac El Dorado once she became successful in Real Estate. I mean-good on 'em-we stopped wearing hand-me-down clothes, and they were very house-proud, but a few years later, we visited some families who lived in huge mansions, and I noticed that they, and other people who'd come from real money tended to drive ratty old cars, like early '70s Datsun 210s, and their houses were kinda musty.
Before that, I actually thought people who lived in (crappy new) apartments were actually doing better, because they had newer carpets, recessed lights, and plumbing fixtures, and "got to eat fast food (which was only a treat for us) all the time" rather than us eating what my Mom cooked from our garden. It never occurred to me as a young teen that the reason behind that was that my friends' single mothers worked two jobs and that was really the only way for her to feed her children. No time or acreage to grow beans, peas, greens, corn, squash, watermelon, etc. in an apartment complex. A real wakeup call.
Lol, just commented saying the same thing, I also worked for a lot of blue bloods and their clothes were so scruffy. It's all so well made that it lasts forever and they're so uncool that they don't notice how bad it looks after decades of use.
*Don´t mention the war!*
My favorite episode, as a German
"You started it!"
@@robbiemartin9312"we did not!"
@@joevictor53 "Yes you did, you invaded Poland"
@@fashionablechangeling1988 I can't stop laughing now just reading this....
@@jennifermedicus2735 if you haven’t seen it, watch the full episode if you can find it. It’s even better in context
My grandmother used to keep her handkerchiefs in her sleeve. And her bodice. And her purse. My grandmother was practically made of handkerchiefs.
Got my cup of tea ready for this one. So happy you’re reacting to this. 🎉
The physical set-up of every scene is just incredible on this. Every episode is a perfect half-hour farce.
Fawlty towers is something where, if it comes on the TV, that's it. I'm watching it. Just completely timeless British comedy
So excited to see Eric not be able to breathe through my fav episodes. Thank you for choosing this series and for reacting. Thank you for another great reaction.
Que?
Classic! My mother is the reason I grew up loving British shows. This, Mr Bean, Red Dwarf and Are You Being Served were in heavy rotation.
Basil is actually based on a real life hotel owner running a hotel Monty Python had stayed at a few years before the show. Even one of the waitresses of the hotel are quoted as calling the hotel owner bonkers and "it was as if he didn't want the guests to be there" apparently as they were a hindrance for him to run the hotel.
Some situations included the hotel owner criticizing Terry Gilliam for eating "too American" and Eric Idle's briefcase thrown out a window "because it might contain a bomb".
There was some bus service years ago in the UK that had people complaining the buses flew past the stops without picking anyone up. The head of the company said, "If we stopped to pick people up we wouldn't be able to keep to our timetables."...
The handkerchief thing is really a generational thing. The last person I remember doing that was my nana. One of those things that fade with time.
Same, immediately thought of my granny when it came up.
I remember teachers doing that here in the US in the '60s and 70s.
Saw this after I commented and yes, I agree.
I must be getting bloody old then because shoving your hanky up your sleeve is just natural lol 😄✌🇬🇧
This show really displayed John's full talents. What a great show.
Only 12 episodes. Cherish them, They are definitive classics of comedy writing and performance. I can't wait for the one with the lady with the hearing aid.
and dont forget the Germans
Just don't mention the war, I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣@@DarknessIsThePath
When I was a little girl growing up in a tiny West Texas town I would watch British comdies on PBS. (a kid in the 80s with no cable didn't have many choices) loved all things remotely connected to Monty Python. Also a breathtakingly great British comedy is Are You Being Served a great retail show
Gosh I hope this leads to more British shows on the schedule! Love love love this!!
Keep an eye out for _Bernard Cribbins_ (Dr. Who's Wilfred Mott) in episode 4! Sadly, we lost him around this time last year. 💐
Spoons, eh..?
@@CrazyInsanelikeafox _"Sp-p-p-th-oons."_
Yeah, Cribbins was one of the top two most amazing guest stars in this show. Not sure anyone who's just seen him on "Doctor Who" really knows what a great actor he was. 🥰
He was in a good number of televisual feasts.
Now Bernard Hill as well, not even two years later yet. We’re losing our great Bernards, and that’s certainly unhappy tidings.
This is required viewing for any fan of British comedy.
So glad it's on this channel.
Since you're doing British shows... Watching you guys react to Taskmaster UK would bring your viewers so much joy. I can already imagine Rick wheezing from too much laughter. :)
I'd love to see them react to Taskmaster. I can just imagine them laughing so hard at some of James Acaster or Ed Gamble's freakouts
They don't seem to wanna watch anything like that anymore, it's only fiction.
Great to see Fawlty Towers here, I think you're going to enjoy it all. With 12 episodes, it's quality over quantity for sure.
Honestly I don't think Cleese would have survived writing more episodes.
Man. The worst part about this reaction series is going to be the waiting from week to week for a new one!
I can confidently say that of all the shows I thought y'all would check out, I never would've guess this - but i'm SO here for it
It'd be funny but I doubt I'd ever see Only Fools and Horses be on the reaction list. Now thats a dream!
I love only fools but the jokes are dated even for a lot of younger english people just due tot he 80/90s references.
@@jasonjeffery9728disagree Only fools comedy is timeless and they would love it ❤ XxXxX
Love, love, love that you're reacting to my favourite sitcom of all time. So much fun!
This show was my childhood. Still makes me hysterically laugh whenever I watch it.
Ur doing iconic BBC British shows? Fingers crossed for life on Mars/ashes to ashes eventually 🙏🏼
Lot of explaining to do with Life on Mars, but what a great show!
I can remember first watching this in 2002-ish. PBS was doing their annual fundraiser and they announced they added Fawlty Towers to their lineup. They only showed the first season, but I was sold after this episode. My mom and I had tears in our eyes from laughing so hard. One of my favorite memories 😊
The Thick of It is an essential show to watch if you want to see British comedy at it's prime
* cough *
Yes, Minister
The Thick of It is the best use of an anti-hero/anti-villain that I’ve seen. Malcolm Tucker is someone I would never want to work with, but I do thoroughly enjoy watching him😏
So much bleeping. The poor editor. 😅
I LOVE this show and I'm psyched!!
Fawlty Towers was my second exposure to British comedy after Monty Python. Even at age 15, I felt like it was giving me ulcers! 😅
I truly cannot believe this is happening haha my brother showed me this show when I was like 15, back in 2012. It became one of my favorite shows ever, and never thought anyone would react to it. Thank you Blind Wave 😂
It is sooooo amasing that your reacting to these Sitcom Masterpiece !!! It was always one of my favorite UK Sitcoms ever !!! Also, after your done with Fawlty Towers, here are some suggestions for future reactions :
1. Only Fools and Horses
2. Bottom
3. Father Ted
4. Black Books
5. Porridge
6. The IT Crowd
7. Vicious
8. You Rang M' Lord
9. Yes Minister
10. Open All Hours
They are all HILARIOUS !!! I believe you would enjoy them !!!
*The IT Crowd
Don't forget "The Young Ones". That show had me rolling. 🤣
@@NotYet2Set Fresh Meat is underrated as hell, and Peep Show is great too.
@@arrongreen155 Ohh yeah ! Thanks LOL
You're missing one of the best: Blackadder !
You've probably already been told this, but Andrew Sachs, who plays Manuel, is British. He studied Spanish for this role to ensure its authenticity. I love that you're doing this classic series. 😂
Actually he was born in Germany.
I’m so excited for Eric to watch this! I’m only 24 but my parents and grandparents still made sure I was raised on this 😂
This is the show that always wins the "best TV comedy." Props for reacting to it. 👏 👏 👏
I’m so happy your reacting to it Eric, as a Irish person I grew up watching British comedy’s and this was one of these shows I love to watch
OMG! If these guys get to Father Ted, the subs would hit the roof!..Fantastic comedy from Ireland....(excluding Mrs. Bever rowns boys)
If you like British humor, I highly recommend Yes Minister. It is just incredible, my favorite series of all time. I had to get back a few minutes several times because I was laughing and missing new jokes.
oh I so agree love it.
I find the battle between civil servants and political appointees is still incredibly relevant which keeps most of it still really funny.
the one where they locked Humphrey out, was hilarious
There is 1 ultimate british comedy. Only fools and horses. Id absolutely love you guys to watch through it all. Its a masterpiece in writing
100% I need to see this happen
What a dream come true, so glad to see this on the channel! Now if we could get Black Adder.
I'm so happy that you guys are doing this show
So excited for this! I know that many BW watchers were probably hoping for more anime, not a 70s British sitcom, but I think you’ll love it. Maybe you’ll go on to watch Yes Minister and Blackadder afterwards - that’s the dream!
Not only those in black and white!
I did not realize at first what this show was until they started playing it. 😮 I’m so excited to be watching this!
I never would have thought we would see this!! BRIIITTSH!!
Edit: If they liked this first one this much I can't wait for the Mrs. Richards episode 😁
Where did this come from? 😂
Wasn't expecting a Fawlty Towers reaction so I hope you both enjoy it. Some parts have probably been edited or cut given it's from the 70s but I hope you find the classic value of the show before the reboot weakens its legacy.
The fancy dinner episode is my favorite
The Germans is my favorite - Basil being Basil with a concussion
Communication Problems is my favourite as well!😊❤
Yes, I'll be amazed if they watch a version of The Germans with the bit about the Major taking his lady friend to the cricket match - and they will probably be shocked if it's in there too! 😂
"It's over there between the land and the sky."
PBS in the 70’s and 80’s showed a lot of British comedies when I was growing up. This is one of my favorites. Hope you watch other ones too. Vicar of Dibley, Are you being served? Etc.
Man, this was an even better first episode than I was expecting. This is gonna be an absolute BLAST!
Oh I love F.T. This brings back such great memories for me as I was lucky enough to attend 2 recordings of the show. 'The Builders' and 'Gourmet night'. Both excellent of course. lol
Nice ! So when we get to those eps one of the laughs we hear may well be yours ? Very cool.
(I was in the audience for a few recordings of "Catchphrase" back in the day - it was still Roy Walker then but even so, it obviously doesn't even remotely compare :)
@@anonymes2884 Yep, I was screaming my head off when he did the whole "ear, who's this then" silly walk bit in 'the Germans'. lol
So refreshing seeing Americans understand and enjoy British humour😆
One of my favorite sitcoms of all time. The cast are all so good but John Cleese is GODLIKE in what he does. Your reaction mirrors mine the last time I watched it!!
A truly classic series.
OMG! Sometimes when I'm watching Fawlty Towers, I have to pause it to catch my breath! Hope you do more episodes and if you do, make sure to show the hotel sign each episode!
My parents had the full set of this show and I watched them when I was a kid. It was the funniest thing I'd ever seen and maybe still is to this day.
Was not expecting this, you legends! Can't wait for you to experience British comedy. Cheers from the UK
One of the funniest shows of all time. I have the DVD set on my shelf.
So happy you're watching this!! I grew up watching this show with my family and we all loved it but I've never heard my dad laugh so much. 😂 The show must have aired several times a year here in Sweden in the 80s and 90s, I remember it as always being on. 😃
John Cleese was here on his live show tour last year but he was being a very picky hotel guest in newspaper interviews. Some people said that's just a bit he does because of Fawlty Towers, but I'm not sure if that's really the case. 😛
Good Reaction Guys
After 40+ years, Fawlty Towers IS returning with John Cleese and his actress daughter.
Obviously, many of the original cast are not in a position to be involved.
As, nearly,always they made 2 Series, 4 years apart, and got out leaving their audience wanting more:)
So glad you're reacting to this series!! It is the greatest sit-com of all time. To your point at 12:32 - 13:15. When writing the show John Cleese made sure that they never paused for laughs like US sitcoms. They always play through it which just means the audience never has a chance to catch their breath because they're constantly laughing. It also means the energy is carried through the scene and continuously increases until the climax.
First comedy I watched with my dad and safe to say it truly introduced me to British comedy! A classic series.
Honestly, this makes me unbelievably happy 🙌🏻🤙🏻 I used to watch this with my grandad growing up and it’s always been an absolute favourite!
Side note - just finished watching and I loved the reaction from you guys 😂👌🏻
Eric laughing at the first 20 seconds is always a vibe.
'Flowering Twats' is my favourite episode.
Fantastic choice for a reaction. Looking forward to this! Fawlty Towers, in my opinion, is the best British sitcom of all time. Keep an eye out for the entrance sign in the intro each episode
The process of taping is called "live to tspe". They want the audience to feel it was done in real time, with no obvious edits. What helps the creative crew pull it off, is the fact that many of thd actors have roots in live theater, so mistakes and stop downs are minimal.
oh my world! seeing more British classics on this channel warms my soul. i thank you and i salute you
If you're looking for other content to react to during the strike, I'd recommend Taskmaster. I don't think it falls under any of the struck categories and it's my favourite show of all time. I don't think many people who also love British humour would disagree with me.
I much prefer "Have I Got News For You" or "Would I Lie To You" over Taskmaster any day :D
@@darrenrichardson6146 I’ll give you Would I Lie To You, but even then i feel like Taskmaster’s season-long ‘arcs’ work better for Blind Wave-style reactions
I'm pretty sure no pre existing content is off limits no matter what side of the strike one falls on
@@darrenrichardson6146 I love HIGNFY, but it's way too topical to watch older ones, and a lot of the comedic references are to either past politics/events that they more than likely wouldn't know 80% of the events/people being referenced, so not sure how well it would work.
Also, where do you even start a weekly political comedy show that's been on since 1990?!
I'd kill to see Taskmaster reactions from them
Yes!! im so hyped for this. I´m going to rewatch this with my dad before coming back to the reaction
Actor-Inspired Element: A very subtle one - if you look closely, Melbury is actually clean-shaven in the location scenes he appears in. As with all BBC programmes of that era, location footage was filmed ahead of time, and the actor playing him needed to be clean-shaven for another role he was doing before the studio shoot. The director and John Cleese allowed this, on the grounds that it would play into Melbury's being a con artist.
Cool detail!
I CAN NOT BELIEVE YOU GUYS ARE REACTING TO THIS.....LETS GO ❤💯
Yes!!!!! So glad you guys are doing this! For what it’s worth, obviously this is exaggerated for comedy, but it’s not inaccurate about what working in a resort/hotel is like 😅
Loved watching this. Great to see you get round to it.
I used to watch this growing up and it’s so good🤣 I love Manuel he’s hilarious
As a 60 year-old Brit I reckon I've seen them all, all the Sit-coms over the last 50 years (and there have been some beauties, Porridge, Rising Damp, Blackadder Goes Forth .. etc ...etc)
The Golden TV generation, never to be repeated, where half the nation sat down to watch the same program, and talked about it on Monday morning.
I truly believe this was the peak of Sit-Com. It's finely crafted and well observed.
It's a Masterpiece of the art.
John Cleese advised actors to just keep the tempo up. They were not allowed to respond to the live audience applauding.
Since their voices were picked up by microphones regardless, they kept the momentum going.
Also: the name of the hotel gets mangled each episode and the intro music goes up a semi-tone each episode.
Iconic series. 🙌
I always loved the sign joke at the start of the episodes. They had a realistic feel too since Basil acted like such a dick that you could imagine the locals would take the time to mess with the sign.
my beautiful, beautiful Blind Wave... I cannot believe you are doing this gem!! As a lover of Britcoms, this is a wonderful surprise.. thank you for supporting the writers and actors and for trying hard to still put out content.. I appreciate you..
Hey guys here are some of the best British comedies that you should watch
Only Fools And Horses
The Young Ones
Bottom
Blackadder
Red Dwarf
Father Ted
@briansillet4119 they're a perfect pair Del Boy a self centred conniving conman with no common sense and who can't speak French or even English properly and Rodney a jinxed selfish man child who has a 'thing' for women in uniform and too much pride
I never could have imagined this day would come but my god am I thankful it has
As a British person it may be blasphemous to admit I've never seen this (though it wss probably sliiightly before my time) but seeing the thimbnail I absolutely wanna watch these guys laughing their asses off 😂
Don't have it to hand but I bet you can google the address to return your passport to :).
The prophet Cleese forgives. It's never too late.
@@anonymes2884 😂😂😂 well fortunately I don't actually have one but I'll be sure to denounce my citizenship
Never in my wildest dreams did I think y'all would react to my all-time favorite British comedy.
God bless whoever voted for this. 😂 Legendary show.
You also have to do "Are You Being Served?" and "Absolutely Fabulous"
Cannot wait for this reaction, every episode is great
Hankerchief in the sleeves thing is quite British/English, it was common here in NZ too.
This series has some of the greatest quotable moments of any show ever
" _Please_ try to understand before one of us
dies."
I remember watching these as a kid (Fawlty Towers, Vicar of Dibley, Coupling, Keeping Up Appearances, Hardware) they were so good :)
You know I’m very surprised you guys are reacting to Fawlty Towers. A show that’s from the BBC in 70s wow! 😮It honestly makes me hopeful you guys react to Classic Doctor Who and Red Dwarf someday please…
Amazing. Never expected to see you guys do this, what a treat.
