Fawlty Towers appreciation - RIP Prunella Scales

[HHR]

Meh

@MartyMcFly @FlyRy @kp404 @HHR you got 2 weeks

Only 12 eps

I'm guessing @TheGodling has seen this?

I have. If I didn't boycot the tv-show top 10 it would've been in the top 5. "Don't mention the war" is one of the greatest bits of all time.

Meh

...meh what?

Fawlty Towers is classic British comedy but I've a feeling that if you didn't grow up with it, its brilliance is going to be lost on you. Same for stuff like 'Father Ted' and 'Blackadder'.

shyt, how about 'Allo 'Allo with the classic joke repetition. Every week they'd set up the same ten jokes and catchphrases and it's hilarious every time.

Over long ago, thankfully, as the newer episodes were awful.

True, although I wouldn't put 'Allo 'Allo up there with the god comedies like Monty Python/Blackadder/Fawlty Towers/Only Fools And Horses/Father Ted etc.

shyt the first season of Black Books as well. Stone cold classic.

Porridge was another under-rated programme that people might have missed.

 

[Grand Conde]

And not comedies, but Inspector Morse and (the 80/90s) Sherlock Holmes are top ten personal classics to me. The former paved the way for stuff like Broadchurch, The Missing etc.

'Allo 'Allo certainly isn't fukking with them in the writing department.

Classic show.

one thing about british shows that I love is they dont get greedy and stretch shows so long they become terrible like ameircan shows.

not true, I would say that show about escaped convicts with powers definitely ran it's course. I mean when the og cast have all left isn't that a tell tale

If bbc made prison break it would have ended in one season and been amazing.

considering the general public have to pay a license fee to the station I think that's the least they can do
