    I would never have guessed German was his first language. He speaks English better than a lot of English people, especially these days. God bless Manuel.

    Andrew Sachs was an amazing actor and played Manuel so well, I wrote to him once requesting an autograph and he sent back not just one autograph but about 3 signed pictures!!

    For whatever reason, my wife and I also love the scene with the doctor when he says: "I'm a doctor and I want my sausages." Anytime we have sausage for our meals, it's uttered..silly, but that's life with TV..

    • @mattbradley508

      Totally.

    • @eriamjr
      @eriamjr 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      My favourite is when he ends up with the choice of eating the sausages in the kitchen alongside the dead body, and he says, 'I'll take the risk'.

    • @JCO2002
      @JCO2002 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I find myself always pronouncing sausages as "sasahess" like Manuel.

  • @elbinkogrande
    @elbinkogrande 3 ปีที่แล้ว +39

    Sachs' "Dragonfly" routine with Cleese was comic genius. Easily one of the funniest things I ever saw on television.

  • @TheBee87bee
    @TheBee87bee 3 ปีที่แล้ว +28

    Manuel started as a small part,but oh ,what Andrew did with this character was tremendous. Quite a few episodes highlighted his Manuel character. He was a very important part of this gem of a series!

    As an interview this shows how it should be conducted. Interviewer is well researched and asks searching, leading questions and the interviewee is articulate and has considerable personal awareness and insight. As the put upon Manuel I don't think Andrew Sachs ever realised the love and esteem the British viewers held in him. The British love an underdog and it did not matter one ounce that the character was Spanish. He left us many years ago by Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross should still be ashamed for their actions. Viva Manuel!

    Wonderful interview - with the exception of the silly, distracting camera work. Good lord, producers, please just keep the camera still and pointing at the one interviewed and no silly visual effects. It's an interview, not a creative camera work project. Oh well; beggars can't be choosers i guess.
