Random visit to watch #fawltytowers yesterday. Ultra cheap ticket, which was then upgraded to a rather expensive one when I arrived! Very enjoyable farce, nostalgic love letter to the original, very well performed by an excellent cast who captured all the original mannerisms perfectly! #westendtheatre
@Klepsis my favorite #FawltyTowers episode. I’ll have the Colditz salad!
I was in The Cottage Loaf, #Llandudno when everyone’s phones went off… I thought #Putin had finally lost his nut! 
When the #Government sends me a text does it REALLY have to sound like that? Surely something nicer would have the same effect. If it’d been the sound of a duck quacking, a wolf whistle or the #FawltyTowers theme I’d have still read it!
FAWLTY TOWERS debuted on this date in 1975.
I discovered it on PBS circa 1980. My life hasn't been the same since.
This made me think of classic #Britcom #FawltyTowers" - "Specialist subject: The Bleeding obvious"

Someday I will die, and my family will go through my stuff and say, "Why did Jen have a rental Betamax tape of Fawlty Towers?"
we can’t be the only ones watching The Acolyte and seeing Bazil, the tracker, and getting a laugh out of him because he MUST be a sly reference to “Basil The Rat” from Fawlty Towers... right? #StarWars #FawltyTowers

Faulty Towers – The Dining Experience
If you’re a fan of Fawlty Towers, the hit British comedy from the 70s, then you’ll love The Dining Experience. Apart from the entertaining “shows” the three actors put on, you’ll, of course, be eating a three-course meal.

Fun fact about Fawlty Towers.
Back when I was a wee lad... maybe 16-year-old, I went on a language exchange to Vancouver, BC.
(Reminder: French is my mother tongue. English is a second language for me.)
My exchange family was fond of watching Fawlty Towers. The very first scene I saw was the one between Basil and that kid arguing about how the soup tastes like puke. The word "puke" was not in my vocabulary, and the accent was also a bit of a hurdle for me.
Since that time, both problems have been fixed.
I love this scene just for being incredibly funny, but also because the dialogue has a wonderful rhythm. Reminds me of some of the more expertly crafted exchanges in Will Hay films. The way Cleese delivers "Would you like me to get it mended?" feels straight out of Music Hall.

Never had a favourite series, mainly because I never could remember which episode came from which series, but on recent re-watch I found Series 2 to be the superior run.
