Fawlty Towers

Deja un comentario

Manuel, from Barcelona is trying to learn English...

John Cleese strikes again but this time as Basil Fawlty, a hotel owner in Torquay. His wife Sybil, waitress Polly and waiter Manuel make for some of the most outrageous situations in comedy. John Cleese really does hit the nail on the head with this comedy. His dialogue is spot on and his superb comical timing is perfect. But, in my opinion, Andrew Sachs is the star of the show. Whenever he is on scene, he somehow steals it. His Spanish dancing, for example, is always a joy to watch. The series will, however, be remembered for the absolutely brilliant Goose stepping by John Cleese. The ministry of funny walks has heavily influenced this scene and it isn’t surprising. Fawlty Towers is now the pinnacle of comedy in Britain. Many television programs take great influence from Basil Fawlty and the series physical humor. If this is number two though. Number one must be something special.
