[QUOTE="Swami, post: 199059, member: 13"] Absolutely, like John Cleese himself was at pains to point out. It is sad to think that Fawlty Towers simply wouldn't get off the ground today mainly due to political correctness, although also due to the fact that there simply isn't the creative talent out there either in terms of performers or writers. The subtle difference between series 1 and series 2 is that series 1 tends to highlight Basil as being really awful, yet in season 2 Basil is confronted by horrid guests like Mrs Richards ad the audience ends up rooting for him. In the case of his battles with Mrs Richards, Basil aims some wonderfully inventive insults to take advantage of her rather selective hearing problems. Swami [/QUOTE]
