I watched this in the seventies, as a teenager, and those guests looked to me to be ancient - and the odd thing is they STILL DO! What the hell age are they meant to be ?? 60 ? 70? 80? - who on earth dresses or ever dressed like that ..................??????????
surprised to hear the kid say garbage instead of rubbish. they mean the same thing but I thought most Brits said Rubbish. I'm wondering if the word garbage was due to Connie's influence, being an American and all.
Loved the episode with the American guest even though the actors American accent left something to be desired but maybe there's some unwritten rule that most british actors must suck at American accents and American actors suck at British accents. Of course there are exceptions.
what is a JP? Basil says both Colonel Twitchen and his wife both JP'S. Only thing I found online is Justice of the Peace. Is that it? Or is there some position in towns that bear those initials.
There were simply not enough episodes done of this program. I know they didn't want to do more because they thought it was perfect, and its common for series to be short in England, but still. 100 episodes wouldn't have been too much.
If I were the henpecked husband, I would first slap the kid up side the head for acting like an asshole, then I would slap the wife for telling me to shut up.
@o0leechalmers0o It's really tough picking a favorite.The only one,IMO,that was really "substandard" was the Waldorf Salad episode and even that one had its good moments.
i remember having my wisdom teeth cut out and lying on the bed completely out of it stumbling onto and falling asleep to this show, then tv guided it before internet and caught it every sat night.. used to show it here with are you being served and chef!.. loved those days. ;)
Can people please stop writing all the jokes from the programme in the comments' section? Kind of spoils the fun in actually watching it, know what I mean?
That kid is so annoying! And the mother is even worse! I know people like that, their kids are allowed to do whatever the fuck they want and when you ask them to disciipline their " little darling (fallen)angels ", they go all ignorant, like "what is he doing" or defensive like this "very clever, but highly strung". But, Fawlty had a deadly comeback, as always!
@TomthatiscalledTom Yeah :D She is a very peculiar looking woman. Not quite human... I keep thinking she's one of the aliens like in Men In Black, where if she pulled off her skin a monstrosity would be revealed.
Haha, best comeback line ever! That said, I really like the young actor who plays the snotty little brat. He does a perfect job of conveying the kind of riff raff Basil despises. My kudos to him :)
