Such a classic ident! Childhood personifed. How lucky was Judith Chalmers, paid to swan about on holiday all the time.

Watched the video because I wanted to see the sights around the Fawlty Towers hotel.

I'm heading for the TV lounge for the first event of Singles Week, which is a Twist & Jive session with the Pauline Mowbray Skiffle Experience. Coming Margary?

3:03 - King James' chair survived hundreds of years intact, yet 45 minutes after that part was filmed, the guy at 4:23 in the red & white striped shirt, wrapped said chair around the head of the guy in grey shirt because he claimed the next 20p in line on the table was his. True story.

£13.95 for bed and breakfast ? - Hey, even for 1986, that was pretty good value.

[@mistofoles]

@0:49 - Soo why is a nurse working as a chambermaid ?
