Hooray for Fawlty Towers.
One of my favorites is when Basil, in response to Sybil’s “look,” mutters, “You’ll have to sew them back on first.”
No, I won’t hear of it! There’s a place in Eastbourne . . .(Basil, in response to a claim that his establishment is the worst in England.)
Actually that was the Major.
You have to understand, not only have I seen the episodes countless times (I even jrecently bought them on DVD, even though I already had them on VHS), I also have a book of the scripts that I’ve read from cover to cover.
I am the ultimate Fawlty Towers geek.
I stand corrected.
