Welcome Evelyn!

It's funny, she's covering up in front of the cameras a bit, but then she took a shower. I guess she didn't realize there's a camera in there too.

Naah she knows, and she wasnt that shy last time she was here last time, even did a few bates. Maybe she just covered in case Hawk was coming in.

Welcome Evelyn, enjoy your stay and hopefully you will let us enjoy as well 😂

That shouldn't be a problem then since Hawk is not a man

Pretty sure it wasn't a hit in Spain...lol

I think the Spanish waiter Manuel was made Portuguese in the Spanish version. At least that's what I heard/read once.

Edit: correction: Manuel was later made into in Italian in the Spanish version (& Mexican in the Catalan version). After which the series got more successful in Spain than the first time it was aired, when Manuels nationality remained Spanish.

Thx max, gonna check that out tonight, love John Cleese and Monty Python!

I'm surprised a lot of people don't know Fawlty Towers on here.

It's from the 1970s, but still... I thought it to be a timeless classic everyone would know (thay's why I made a reference to it some days ago without explaining).

Probably the best sitcom ever made (perhaps along with Blackadder from the 1980s, also British). Only 12 episodes (6 each season, 1975 & 1979) were ever made, but each one is excellent. They stopped before the quality could drop.

"The Germans" is legendary, but actually so is every episode. There is also one, "Waldorf Salad", poking some fun at Americans! 😉  Consider this a warning, for the easily triggered on here! 🙂 

It's humouros at different levels: when I saw it on my country's national TV as a child (subtitled in my language) in the early 1980s, I laughed about other things then when I watched it again as a teenager and still later as a (young) adult. Multi-layered humour as well. You need to be rather educated to understand all the humour, but even if you aren't, the simpler/cruder jokes will have you laughing constantly just as well. It pays to watch the same episode several times, as you will notice fun stuff you didn't pick up the first time. Literally every line is funny in at least one way, if only just because of the way it's acted. Nice window on the English 1970s as well, now that it's almost 50 years old.

In short, I can recommend it to everyone, especially the more curmudgeony types on here who have trouble lightening up! 😉

Cleese pointed out that BBC or whoever is in charge had pulled that episode from the series. Which is preposterous, it’s hilarious and not the least bit offensive. 

It was aired several years (even decades, there were lots of reruns) later on my national TV without any trouble.

It was on the DVD as well.

Maybe it was pulled shortly after airing, but reinstated later?
