Fawlty Towers

Totally brilliant. My all time favourite comedy show.
"Would you care for a rat with your biscuits" :)
 
The one where the major is talking to the deer that's getting mounted on the wall is simply comment genius! Basil was married to Pauli in real life and that's why it was canned I believe after their divorce! The second series was filmed after or during their separation I think
 
The drunk chef wanting to pump Manuel was a cracker.

The Major's my favourite...never get away with some of his lines now.

Cybil carries the show though.

Undoubtedly the best British sitcom ever for me.
 
"What do you expect to see from the window of a Torquay hotel?
Hearts of wildebeest sweeping majestically?":D
 
This is my all time favourite sitcom. 12 outstanding episodes proving quality not quantity counts.
The Psychiatrist and The Kipper And The Corpse are my top two episodes. Ballard Berkley as the old Major is actually one of my all time heroes!! Nutty as a fruitcake.
 
He one with the old deaf dear was magnificent. Complaining about her view from her window Basil asks what she expects from a Torquay window, Sydney Opera House? The Hanging gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically? Also when he pretends to speak to her but mimes, she turns up the hearing aid then he bellows in her aid, cruel but very funny
