Try watching more than one episode of Fawlty Towers at a time. It is just not possible! How Manuel survived Basil's treatment, I will forever wonder. Mum was a Brit before getting her Canadian Citizenship, so I guess that makes me part. And my Aunt Patsy on Mom's side owned one of the hotels in Torquay! Halford was her married name, Fancott her maiden name. Oh, another fave - Two Ronnies (when I got my first set of glasses, I actually looked a LOT like Ronnie Corbett)

While sitting in the house during a rehearsal , I noticed the English translation of the Italian text projected on the proscenium arch above the stage.

That is definitely an awesome one. I prefer the version from the show over the stage shows, but that may be because it's the one I experienced first. Another overlooked one is the Mister Smoketoomuch sketch, where the man (Eric Idle) has it pointed out to him that he should probably quit, and for the first time realizes that his name sounds like the actual phrase. There's also the Raymond Luxury Yacht sketch. ;-)

I think the argument clinic was definitely one of their finest skits...I loved many of them.. I couldn't wait to watch their shows. i 've seen most of their movies multiple times... but "The Holy Grail".. is my favorite movie of theirs...

Missing “you are all individuals…I am not”, cracks me up every time

Thanks for taking me back through these sketches. It triggered a plethora of memories from the 70s!

No need to rehash the Dead Parrot sketch. It's a copy, and one of the reasons John Cleese left the show. He felt they were remaking old material. They talked him into a 3rd season (when Cheese Shop appeared), but he left before the 4th season. It also contained half the number of episodes of the previous seasons as a result. Mr. Neutron was probably the only halfway decent sketch in the last season.

Great sketches, did not need to be told what I am seeing and hearing thanks.

I grew up watching Monty Python's Flying Circus in Boston, on PBS channel WSBK. during the 70's.
