I am French I saw Fawlty Towers while working in Aberdeen back then in 1974/5. I only get 90 % of the dialogues but still , this is the best television serial in the world ! I cannot stop watching it again an again .
My dad recorded every episode on vhs and watched it everday when i came back from school in the 90s. Literally one of the greatest comedies of all time
@@CoCotheTurtle No. It's because you didn't bother to research who he played (it takes about 30 seconds) and instead made a stupid comment. And Geoffrey Palmer has been in dozens of films and TV programmes way beyond the 70s (Butterflies, As Time Goes By).
The way the doctor sees Basil jumping for joy - you have to pause to catch the exact moment and Geoffrey Palmer's bewildered look because it happens so quickly, but it's worth it.
I've seen this episode quite a fair bit and I've only just noticed Manuel and the Sausages at the beginning of the video lmao. Still finding new things to laugh at with this show so many years later.
Sausages were probably 2 months over the expiration date too, so it is good thing Manuel ruined them. And there were 2 dead pigeons in water tank, so I doubt very much that Fawlty Towers tea and soup tasted very good . And of course wine was corked and Manuel pet rat was running around and they did not know which meat loaf was contaminated with rat poison, so they took just one wild guess after another, collected all meat from the floor ( little bit of floor dirt on meat is not the deal braker ) and still tried to cook them and sell to customers . No wonder they had dead hotel guest, wonder is that rest of bunch survived to see another day
Why does the part with Miss Tibbs crying in the wardrobe always give me the feeling that the whole show is meant to give you the need to hide away in your own house and do the same thing??!!!
0:41: *When you suddenly realize after 3 years that your vice president of your team pushed up daisies, only to find that she's haunting everyone till the day you die:*
On the one hand, he’s more concerned with not getting into trouble, but do you think he’s worried that he might be responsible for the death of a man too? I mean, he does seem unusually ecstatic at the revelation that the kippers WEREN’T the cause.
I mean it does actually say 'Hotel' outside, you know. Perhaps I should be more specific. What about 'Hotel for people who have a better than 50 per cent chance of making it through the night?'"
As a hotelier, I can tell you these plots are authentic and ring true. Except finding a corpse isn't actually funny in real life. That's the genius of John and Connie. Horrific stuff but it's funny. Now excuse me, I'm just going to spy on some guests from inside their wardrobe.

I've seen this probably a hundred times and only just now noticed that Basil's attempt to toss a kipper out the window at 2:01 fails miserably - if you watch the bottom left (maybe at 0.25 speed) you can see a kipper bounce off the closed window (i.e., it slammed shut before the kipper went outside). It's the perfect setup for Dr. Price's "what's that?" at 2:06 🤣
This is very bloody funny can't get away with anything now with pc how times changed but just hope the upcoming new series of fawlty towers does survive
The political correct will probably object to the poisoning of the shitsue dog by Polly, after she and Manuel had been bitten by it in the dining room.
What you mean is- this is where the idea for whatever you’re talking about *happiness of ketakuris or whatever* came from, as this was made in the 70s and your thing was made in 2001

"Well, when he said Mr Leeman was _dead_ ...I thought he said he's _still in bed!"_
Polly is a genius at thinking on her feet! 😂😂
Cybil ruined her story, just to humiliate Basil 😅😅

Comment? Que lis-je? La meilleur série télévisée au monde? Une série anglaiiiise? Traître à la patrie! Vite qu'on apporte la guillotine...
I was an American exchange student couldn't believe how great and hilarious.
RIP the brilliant Geoffrey Palmer.
He was so good in this sketch as the chef. Or as the guy who died. Or as the coroner.
He was the doctor, "you mean to say you didn't know this man was dead".
@@CoCotheTurtle Your intelligence level shames turtles.
@@MrHistorian123 Because I don't know some British character actor from the 70's?

01:22 "He's stone cold. Oh joy! Oh thank you god! Isn't it wonderful! I'm so happy! Hooray! Hooray!" 😂😂😂
"Ahem! Sad, isn't it?"
😂😂😂
Thank god for that
"I mean, this is a hotel, not the Burma Railway..."
Would this be banned in Japan or Myanmar?
Classic British comedy, love it, wish they still made this program.
Only just noticed you can see the kipper poking out of Basil's top for a while before Sybil helpfully points it out

All the years Iv seen this, it allways makes me laugh absolutely brilliant 😂 even times I’m feeling low!!
I don’t immediately think oh there’s another one who’s snuffed it in the night 😂😂
RIP Geoffrey Palmer
How on Earth can this only have 31K views?
I think this episode may be the funniest single episode of TV I’ve ever watched.
Well there's 11 others on iplayer, so get cracking...
If the kippers did indeed kill him it would be the fastest death from food poisoning of all time.
Basil's never been one to think logically.
@@MrThischarmingman2 😂 Exactly - any stress and he becomes hysterical.
Great performance by everyone, including Geoffrey Palmer.
Why does the part with Miss Tibbs crying in the wardrobe always give me the feeling that the whole show is meant
to give you the need to hide away in your
own house and do the same thing??!!!
One of the very best episodes of Fawlty Towers :D
The best imo
My favorite episode.
Comedy gold. Love the Egon Ronay one liner. Brilliant.
Basil ,there`s a kipper sticking out of your jumper 😂.
This is a hotel, not a Burma railway!
With the great Geoffrey Palmer R I P
Brilliant 😊😊😊😊😊
Rip the doctor- Geoffrey Palmer
Notice at 0:46 Cleese knocks off part of the railing/set.
Lol that set was always wobbling and falling apart !!
"This is a hotel, not the Burma Railway".
Why did he say that when I was trying to drink my coffee?
0:41: *When you suddenly realize after 3 years that your vice president of your team pushed up daisies, only to find that she's haunting everyone till the day you die:*
All the elements of classic British farce
On the one hand, he’s more concerned with not getting into trouble, but do you think he’s worried that he might be responsible for the death of a man too? I mean, he does seem unusually ecstatic at the revelation that the kippers WEREN’T the cause.
RIP Doc.
3:34 "I've been up since 5:30 you know"
This is a Hotel in Torquay not the Burma Railway 🤣
I mean it does actually say 'Hotel' outside, you know. Perhaps I should be more specific. What about 'Hotel for people who have a better than 50 per cent chance of making it through the night?'"
Jesus Christ I roll around laughing everytime 😂😂
That's my favourite Bssil rant. There's another one snuffed it in the middle of the night
@@martymart6143 Mine too!!! Makes me laugh so hard every single time
"This is a hotel, not the Burma Railway!"
Polly reminds of my oldest daughter wise and alert
That would explain a lot 🤣

He has incredible flexibility and was he a dancer? I mean some of the episodes his legs split run like its nothing. Its really astonishing!
“What you on about? I’ve just took him his kippers…
😳 Oh my God!!” 🏃🏻♂️💨💨
Anyone else notice that Basil breaks one of the skirting boards at 0:47?
Yes I did 😀
I think it is because it is a television set, and not an actual hotel.
N/EVER noticed THAT..
"Skirting boards"? The yanks in the room won't know what you're talking about. 🙂
Never noticed that since I was focusing on the wall wobbling (as they do on shows like this), but yeah, you can even hear the wood snap!
"What's the matter with that dog?" oh yeah i forgot that Polly vindictively spiked a dogs food with hot sauce to hurt it because it nipped at her
"Bangers a la bang"
I love how Manuel pours out the entire salt container LOL!
Basil: "We could get 20 years for this!!"
I'm so happy hurray 🥲

He's stone cold oh joy oh thankyou God ! 😂😂😂😂
Oh Joy!
My name is Mr. Leeman!
Is it just me or does Leeman look like Roose Bolton??
The political correct will probably object to the poisoning of the shitsue dog by Polly, after she and Manuel had been bitten by it in the dining room.
Rock 🪨 🎸 🎉
😂😂😂😂😂
Nice man good man touch man well
Why didn’t Basil have the common sense the first time he brought the breakfast up to find out why Mr Leeman wasn’t responding to him?
Because he thought he was still asleep.
@@derekrichardson6515And he was too preoccupied with ranting about the latest strike.
He explains himself at 2:52. This is a comedy btw. The death & lack of awareness of the death are all part of the comedy plot. It's brilliant.
@@derekrichardson6515 no! He says later on in the episode “I brought him his breakfast and all does and sits there and looks at it!”
@@Iggywiggywoo can’t remember that being said at all but it’s been a while since I watched it.
Isn't this like that horror musical "The Happiness of the Ketakuris"
What you mean is- this is where the idea for whatever you’re talking about *happiness of ketakuris or whatever* came from, as this was made in the 70s and your thing was made in 2001
Major scenery wobble at 45 secs.
BASIL!
Too bad they didn't have a cage with a blue parrot in the room.
Mr Fawlty!!
Classic. O.rxy
😂
Dead for hours, that English riggermortis is slow acting.
Doesn't that happen soon after death then dissipates?
@@SamuelBlack84 no, called "stiffs" for that reason..
Wonderful black comedy this.
the best bit of any situation comedy ever - actually Palmer stars in the 2nd best bit as well - th-cam.com/video/oJ-9R6NCZ0A/w-d-xo.html
