Thanks Mart! No one could do a "meltdown" like Basil Fawlty! I didn't know the bit about Cleese being married to Connie Booth at the time. I remember on the show when Basil was looking at Polly's sketchbook and answered the phone "Fawlty *******"! They never would have gotten away with that on US tv.
Andrew Sachs was great as Manuel too. According to IMDB, he was actually injured once while filming the show and sued the BBC!

I don't remember the Fawlty ******* line it has been quite a while since I have seen any of the episodes. Seems like someone was always slapping Manual on the back of the head.

Yes he did say *******, well he was looking at Polly's pokies through a thin jumper at the time lol. Bit risque at the time for the BBC though lol. The episode was "the psychiatrist". It's on Youtube in five parts.

if you have a netflix account you can watch the Monty Python shows and all of Fawlty Towers on instant on your PC and if you have a Xbox 360 then you can view the shows on your T.V. which what I was doing.
