Don't worry if we can't see the full picture, we have all seen Fawlty Towers, it's the reaction we are here for. This is perfectly fine as it is if it works.
I dont mind about the picture. But I haven't seen all of fawlty towers, and I'm not here to just watch someones face react to something.. I watch him to learn stuff...
For me this is the greatest of all sitcoms. None better. To say it gets better is the biggest understatement in comedy. 12 episodes of pure gold. The speed and timing of this show is like the inner workings of a very expensive Swiss clock.
The Basil Fawlty character is based on a real hotel owner named Sinclair, whom John Cleese described as the rudest man he ever met.😂😂 But he also realised a person like that would make a great comic character for a sit-com
I met a real life Basil Fawlty when I was staying in a hotel in France while on a motoring tour. After a night out on the town (can't remember where) I could not remember my hotel room number so asked the guy at the desk to check my room number for me. He muttered something not very flattering in French and reprogrammed my key and told me what my room number was but he in my view deliberately programmed my key for somebody else's room. I then to my horror barged in to somebody else's room while they were sleeping causing them alarm. I should have made a complaint but we were leaving early the next morning so I had no time.
Don't worry about the small screen, most of us have seen theese shows a thousand times already, especially here in the UK, so we still understand what's going on, and fans of Fawlty Towers remember every episode down to the smallest detail. My only bug bear is, perhaps you could drink from a normal sized bottle, and not a fuel can witch completely obscures what little screen we can see. Other than that, great to see you reacting to full episodes, hope it don't get pulled.
@@andreaslindblom9140 exactly, same reason he sometimes shifted himself in front of the screen. Purposely done for a reason. Ironically, he blocks it to prevent it being blocked.
Make sure you look at the sign outside the hotel at the start of every episode . It always is a hilarious anagram of the name Fawlty Towers....so clever.
There isn't one bad episode of Fawlty Towers. If you enjoyed this one, especially now you have an idea of the characters, you'll LOVE the other eleven. Fingers crossed the Copyright Gods smile on you!
The sound level between you and the show is excellent. Don’t worry about the partially obscured picture, in theory all of we the audience have seen it before. When I was a child of about 8 I occasionally got so embarrassed for Mr Fawlty I’d hide behind the couch, and one episode it was so excruciating I hid out in the corridor, just waiting for it to be over. As an adult I can see his wounds are all self inflicted, and riotously funny.
Love the way Basil goes from being rude and brusque to Melbery until he finds out who he is and then goes into total creep and fawning mode so funny 😂 Basil is such a snob 😅
English nobility in order of rank - Royal Duke, Duke, Marquiss, Earl, Victount, Baron and Baronet. The major, Ballard Berkley was a British film star in the 1930-s-50's but his role in Fawlty Towers made him famous again.
But a male Earl, Duke or Royal Duke would still just be addressed as "Lord whatever" wouldn't they? I have very seldom heard those actual ranks used publicly. They're always just called a Lord.
An actress plays he's wife in the show but he's real wife is the actress who plays the housekeeper/waitress (she's American) and he also co wrote the show with her.
This is a perfect example of the farce as a theatrical form. frequent misunderstandings, characters dashing in and out of doors constantly, everything happening very quickly etc.
Was awesome watching this along with you while I had lunch today bro. I live in England and love this show although it’s a little too close to home - my parents are basically Basil and Sybil hahaha
The funniest bit is where Basil opens the suitcase and discovers the bricks - he has to use just about all his 5 senses to 'prove' to himself that they are actually bricks as he bangs them together and smells them.... hillarious.
That worked very well, it is better than the way you did Blackadder. I loved watching that with you, and remember this is not even the best episode, the great ones are yet to come.
He owns the Hotel. John Cleese wass inspired to make this show after spending a couple of days in a UK south coast hotel while filming and the owner was a grumpy, inefficient harridan who hated being interrupted by his customers.
Beautiful - 'glad you enjoyed this. Fawlty is an aspiring middle class character who despises his own social status. He is a snob, destined to fail at becoming somithing more. But he won't let that stop him. The show is a joy. I hope you'll react to the entire series. 'Really cool reaction - i enjoyed it a lot. Thanks -
Just two things, one is that you must pay particular attention to each episode from it's beginning to it's end, and that the paper boy is terribly important.
@@andreduarte8372, spoiler alert . . . . . Yes, the paperboy is the one that is messing with the signs. It's his revenge for the way he was treated in the first episode.
We were lucky in Australia to watch Faulty Towers and so much British comedy. Even though like others, I’ve watched each episode stacks of times, I still love it and laugh 😂
Oh I think it has aged, but in a good way. Not only can we laugh at Basil, Manuel, etc. but we can also laugh at the 70s fashion and technology (or lack thereof!). It's really great to see someone so young enjoy something so old. Not enough of that anymore.
I hope you stick with it. Don't worry about the picture size or anything like that. Most of your UK viewers have seen this show numerous times. It's one of the all time greats. There's only a hand full of episodes, 12 i think over 2 seasons. It's really easy to bingewatch. This is the perfect opening episode it sets up all the characters and setting while still being very funny. Most first episodes sets things up and then in episode 2 we get into the good stuff. But as this only had a small number of episodes it really does get right into the comedy from the start. And, as with every sitcom, it gets better and better. But unlike other sitcoms it ends before it starts getting tired and repetative.
26:41 Duke is the highest title in the Peerage hierarchy, and "Lord" is a catch-all title for all the other titles in the Peerage which after 1) Duke, is as follows: 2) marquess, 3) earl, 4) viscount, 5) baron.
Connie Booth, who plays Polly, was married to John Cleese at the time. They wrote the show together. They said they had so much fun getting Basil into tighter and tighter situations. Best comedy ever made.
Long before the days of the internet I saw a letter to a newspaper here in the UK from an American. He said he'd seen Fawlty Towers on TV and thought it was just a comedy show. But then he said he visited England and realized it's a documentary.
Lmao we already cant see much and then you pull out the biggest bottle of water i have ever seen and take a swig, blocking the whole lot for a sec XD *edit Also its only 12 episodes unfortunately, you will love it it only gets better lol :)
Basil is based on a real hotel owner that John cheese stayed with all the monty Python team . They all moved out except John cleese who loved being insulted by the hotel owner .
The exterior scenes were of the clubhouse of a golf course in Devon. Sadly the building has been demolished and replaced by a housing estate. Someone suggested putting some kind of plaque to commemorate the site but the local council refused permission.
"Is this a piece of your brain?" is my all time favorite line. Not this episode but the best episode. Enjoy your Fawlty Towers experience. It never leaves you, even after you check out....
When Basil has his awkward moment waiting for Manuel, he mentions the weather is good for the wheat. Cleese said that rich people often mention the wheat.
There are only 12 episodes Conner. I think you will enjoy Fawlty Towers. We, in the UK, have seen them many times so this format is fine. Please do the full episodes of Blackadder next...
This is possibly the best comedy series ever made. It’s very old and we’ve all seen it before. I think I’ve seen it about 15 to 20 times. We don’t care about your screen, I think I first saw it on a black and white tv 📺 Subscribing now.
The highest grade is duke/duchess, followed by marquess/marchioness, earl/countess, viscount/viscountess and baron/baroness.

Hey Connor, why don't you just set up a Patreon? It would be great to see you react to full episodes and movies, plus it would benefit you with some extra cash!
I appreciate the effort you put in dude. Adjusting those chromakey settings every day. And 10 hours in I hope you haven't been hit with any strikes yet of the YT police.
Connor, it was an honour (yeah it's got an 'o' in it) and a privilege to watch that with you. I've watched many many videos with you and watched you learn and yeah, I've leant too. I'm British though so my education was quite good so not a lot is new to me, but we've definitely learnt together over these last few years. I've watched you react to A LOT of British comedy and it's safe to say that 'you get it now'. That is why it's going to be such a joy watching Fawlty Towers with you because it's one of the best. I look forward to every episode and every one already has a pre-emptive like.
Duke is higher than Lord. Duke ranks under Prince. But some dukes are royal, like Prince William and The Grand Duke of Luxembourg for example, while other dukes are noble.
This is like the greatest comedy serie of all time. I have them all on VHS and watched them thousands of times in my life. Super bra!!! Love Sweden. A stressed and high strung character with wonderful co stars, a recipe for funny possibilities.
This was not actually filmed in Torquay but at a country club in Buckinghamshire ( the outside building used as the front of Fawlty Towers in the credits) the inside stuff filmed at bbc television centre and the scenery was very wobbly as they had a low budget to spend
Duke is far higher than a Lord. Duke/Duchess is as high as the noble titles go besides a prince/princess or king/queen i believe but they can be a Duke or Duchess aswell ofcourse as an extra title
Don't worry about the not having the full screen, everyone in the U.K has probably watched Fawlty Towers at least 50-100 times each so know every shot and what is happening and would still be able to watch along blindfolded and not miss a moment.
I had a Spanish friends that told me they loved watching this show when they were a child back in Spain, It was dubbed into Spanish so I asked how did they handle the manuel character coming from Barcelona and not understanding anyone, they just made him Mexican instead lol..
@@Phildough Actually, both of you are correct, depending where in Spain @Sol Tierney's friends come from. Because, the Spanish dub of the show broadcast in Spain, the character was changed to an Italian from Naples called Paolo. But In the Catalan TV3 channel (based in Barcelona) version, Manuel's origin was changed to Mexico City and the character has a Mexican accent. By the way, the French version also gives his nationality as Mexican!
@@Phildough - Then you might like this too? In the UK original storyline for "The Anniversary", he wants to make Spanish 'paella'. But when dubbed as playing Paolo, it is changed to Italian 'lasagna', he hopes to cook.
Don't worry if we can't see the full picture, we have all seen Fawlty Towers, it's the reaction we are here for. This is perfectly fine as it is if it works.
You just preempted everyone’s comment. 👍

@@markmorris7123 Then watch the episodes yourself online...?
For me this is the greatest of all sitcoms. None better.
To say it gets better is the biggest understatement in comedy. 12 episodes of pure gold. The speed and timing of this show is like the inner workings of a very expensive Swiss clock.
This and Rising Damp.
"Yes, Minister" and "Absolutely Fabulous" for two. If you want an American comedy series, the best is "Dream On", it was on HBO.

Really pleased that you've watched a full episode. Adjusted for inflation £200 would be about £1440/$1800 today.
In September 1975 when this originally aired, a UK pound was worth a little over $2 USD, so it's really more like $3000
Don't worry about the small screen, most of us have seen theese shows a thousand times already, especially here in the UK, so we still understand what's going on, and fans of Fawlty Towers remember every episode down to the smallest detail.

Make sure you look at the sign outside the hotel at the start of every episode . It always is a hilarious anagram of the name Fawlty Towers....so clever.
Flowery Twats!
Those towels need urgently laundering!
Fawlty Towers has 12 episodes and they are getting better and better, but "the Germans" and "Basil the Rat" are my favorite episodes.
Ees no rat, ees khamster!
Gourmet evening is my favourite. I was rolling with laughter when he thrashed his car because it wouldn't start.🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kipper and the Corpse is my favourite. When they walk in on the dude blowing up his blow-up doll 😂
The Psychiatrist is a corker too.....'There's enough material there for a whole conference'
I laughed at this almost fifty years ago. When people can still laugh at it, this must mean it's a classic.
It's totally absurd, but totally hilarious. As a hotel worker I can definitely see the parallels lol.
They have a way of pulling everything together beautifully in the last minutes of the episode, that is really a touch of class.
Finally! A full episode. Can't wait until you get to series 2, episode 1.
There isn't one bad episode of Fawlty Towers. If you enjoyed this one, especially now you have an idea of the characters, you'll LOVE the other eleven.
Fingers crossed the Copyright Gods smile on you!
True, but I'd say s2 e5, the Anniversary is the least good ep.
@@davidz3879 Me too didn't like it at all..
@@davidz3879 I agree. My least favourite also.
Hi Connor. Keep an eye out for the hotel sign right at the beginning of each episode, the letters spelling Fawlty Towers are rearranged each time.
It was a great way to show it. Well better than translucent that everyone else does. Looking forward to the rest of them!
Agreed!
FINALLY full episodes. ~ Good job, Connor. The episodes get better too. 🙂

Anther character who's out of love with his job is Bernard Black, proprietor of 'Black's Books' which you ought to see.
Just 12 episodes were made, i must have seen them all more than 30 times each.
Glad you are enjoying the whacky comedy of Cleese and Booth.
A GOLD MINE of humor and you had the picture JUST RIGHT... Keep up the great work you do.... With thanks
Love the way Basil goes from being rude and brusque to Melbery until he finds out who he is and then goes into total creep and fawning mode so funny 😂 Basil is such a snob 😅

Yes More Faulty Towers Connor.. loved watching you react to this.. this programme is a classic & you'll get everyone's vote for more x
Its fine how it is. Just glad your getting to watch it, that's the important thing. Most checking out this video would have seen it multiple times.
you are the only reviewer who has managed to show the full show instead of meaningless clips... great job
Sooo happy you are watching whole episodes! You will get all the context and more feel for the characters.
