I don't know if this is new or aired before but it is a must see for fans of the show. I've tuned in throughout the years when I could find it and delight in every episode. John Cleese is a comedic genius.

Reason being, Craig T. nelson's character also built elaborate lies during the show, and then watching him scramble to get himself out of them was very funny, like the smarmy hotel manager portrayed by John Cleese! Fawlty tours rules!

Tapping the walls, (and some breasts), to see if they're "sound", hiding a kipper that's gone "off" in your shirt, stuffing Manwell into the laundry basket, Polly impersonating Mrs. Fawlty, the episode with the Germans, and when Fawlty thinks those two newlyweds are rooming together out of wedlock...wow.... If you haven't seen this show, definitely see it! John Cleese is an amazing comic genious, towering HIGH above anyone he's compared to. No pun intended. :wink: http://www.sideshowstamps.com Retro & Tiki Art and Rubber Stamps... [ Edited by: Sideshow Stamps 2006-01-06 11:06 ]
