Fawlty Towers - S1 E1

Comments

Benjamin Taylor-Yates

First and yay! Haven't watched the full series yet myself but it's fairly goofy.

AWR93

YAY! Love fawlty towers! Have a good feeling that Mandy will adore Manuel (he’s from Barcelona) 😭🤭 just 12 episodes but full of madness! Also Mandy keep up the translations of Spanish for us non-speakers!

Deco

Yay 😁

Carl-Fredrik L

YAY. This is one more of those shows that gets better and better. Its a legendary show

Max N

Yaaaaaaaay!!!!!!

Danny

Hell yeah! Been waiting for this! It's a short show too, which I always prefer. Not shackled to 1 series 6 months or whatever

Roger Hurst

Yay!!! It’s from the 70s but I haven’t seen every episode. Looks like Mandy is sorting that out for me now lol

Danny

Connie Booth was in Monty Python's Holy Grail for a small part, if you remember the witch scene - with the witch being weighed. She was the witch. She was John Cleese's wife at the time. She is in a few scenes in Monty Python's Flying Circus too noticeably in the Lumberjack Song sketch, for example

Danny

Doors in the UK are 6 foot 6, John Cleese is 6 foot 5

Doctor Frog

Yay. Also, something to look out for at the start of each episode is the fawlty towers sign as it changes at the start of each episode

Jeffrey44

Yap. This is like The Inbetweeners but instead of being about four young men going to school, it's about a middle-aged couple running a hotel.

Tiberius

Absolutely yay. It's one of the most beloved classic British comedy shows around, so I doubt you'll get many nays with this one.

MarkCity10

Yeah boiiiii Great choice…love this show! This was always my “cosy, watch in bed when I’m sick” show. Love it 🤗

Ash Jeffries

A resounding Yay! This is a superb show, a British classic! Yes, this first series was 1975. The BBC was founded in 1922, and BBC television started in 1936! John Cleese is very tall but also quite wiry, so he looks even taller than he is - He was 6'5" / 196cm. Stephen Merchant still out-talls him by 2 inches though! I say "was" because he's 85 now and will have shrunk a bit! Haha! John Cleese and Connie Booth were married in real life. They wrote this together, but actually divorced after series 1 had aired. They remained amicable and brought Fawlty Towers back for a second series in 1979. Just 12 episodes altogether across two series! You will love them all! 😃

Julian

Yay! Great choice Mandy. I’m shocked you haven’t done it already tbh. It’s short, 12 episodes. No-brainer.

Danny

BBC went full colour towards the end of 1969 by the way , it had been a mix of colour and black and white for a couple of years prior

Gary T

Genuinely thought this morning what new show to recommend to Mandy, and thought you’d probably enjoy Faulty Towers, then 1 hour later it popped up on my phone. Wow Service !!! 😃 A couple of the 12 episodes are a bit dated, but most of the comedy is timeless. Series 1 was 1975 and Series 2 was 1979. Side note… John Cleese was actually married to Connie Booth (co-writer and plays Polly) in real life. It’s a brilliant series. Good choice ! 👍🏻

Charlie Costa

It's definitely a Yay from me. This along side only fools and horses is the British Favourite.

Steve with a beard

An emphatic YAY from me 👍🏻 Love this show and it looks like you will too! 😁

Josh

NAAAAAAY BOOOOOOO 😫😫😫😫😫😫😫🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱 it's a very happy yay from me just wanted to be different for a second. I will certainly enjoy this later Mand. 😊

John George

Yay, but not at the expense of Car Share which only has eight episodes left.

Z is for Zed

It's good and it's only short anyway if anyone has horrific taste. (Yay)

BobSandwiches

Yay! Probably the funniest comedy of its time. Only 12 episodes.

Tom

Yay!

TooBad59

An overwheming Yes from me. This is classic British comedy at its classicest, it doesn't get any classicer than this.

Tony Mingoia

Yay! Many consider this the best sitcom of all time. I've seen every episode dozens of times, but it's always fun to enjoy it again with someone new. That's the great thing about "reaction videos".

Andrew G

yay yay yaaaay Mandy yep one of the best and only 12 Ep

Remi

I notice there's a lot of similarities to Spanish and Italian Blanco and Bianco (white)

AWR93

Agree with this!

Stevus

Can't go wrong with some Fatty Owls (keep that filed away, it will make sense soon Miss Mandy). I'm also looking forward to watching with someone translating Manuel for us, which I imagine you won't be able to help doing, which is cool 👍😊

Tony Mingoia

An interesting fact Mandy: Andrew Sachs, who played Manuel, was German-British. He had no experience with Spanish at all. John Cleese had his heart set on casting him all the same. Sachs struggled with it and didn't think he would be able to do it, asking if Manuel could be rewritten as a German waiter, but Cleese was adamant he needed to be Spanish. I think that was the right decision. And you'll be the better judge of this than any of us, but I think he did a wonderful job in the end.

Captain Howdy

Fawlty Towers is a great show, and not a lot of episodes. There is talk about a new version of the show with John Cleeses grandaughter or something like that. Btw the big clue for us is the screen shot. It also comes through in email notification. BTW, John Cleese is 6ft 5. I am a short arse at only 5ft 7

Peter

yay

hfdzongkha

Yeah you should continue with this, it's genius!

Charlie Walker Jr

A short show, but a cult classic here in the UK. I watched it with my grandparents when the show was already over 20 years old. The humour stands up so well.

I-Love-My-Brick

Yes, definitely continue with this.. no question. There were only 12 episodes ever made, and none of them disappointed

Liam Clark

Yay (but in Spanish)

Josh

I certainly enjoyed this one Mandy thank you. It brought back memories of watching it with my grandad when I was little 🤗

garry donaldson

One of the best british comedys ever with some of the most iconic scenes ever. Great choice. Also Connie Booth who plays Polly was married to John Cleese in real life.

George Britten

Definitely a yay, one of the best British comedies and even though this episode was pretty good, it gets so much better

aja

yay

Nile

YAY

Craigos10

It's a classic, so a yay from me!

Barry

Yay. ☺️ absolutely. You're going to love what's to come. Always a joy to watch you see these things for the first time and hear your thoughts ☺️

Alan

yarp

Sam Froki

Yay! I've somehow never watched this either, so I'll also be enjoying it for the first time with you 😁

Alex

One of my favourite shows, so yay! :)

Terje Flågan

Yay x 6 x 2 (One yay for each episode). Seen everything several times, but really hoping I get to see it all again - this time in MandyVision(TM)(R)(C)!

Paul Elsby

This is deffo right up your street, Mand. Its a comedy classic. Still revered today. Some might say unsurpassed. run with it, you'll love it.

Arathir

Yay, I heard about the show and seen clips but never watched it. At it is quite short so Double Yay :)

Rusty Dog

Yay from me because it's an all time British classic, it's only 12 episodes and mostly yay because you enjoy it and that's also what counts. Hope to still see more Car Share though. Yeah John Cleese and Connie Booth (who were married for a time) both wrote this show. So continue with it and be ready for more madness.

Joe D

It’s a ‘yay’ from me. This is the first show you’ve reacted to on here which I haven’t seen all of, so that’s cool. To be honest there is only one show you could pick which would make me say ‘nay’ and that’s ‘Mrs Brown’s Boys’. But no one would recommend that to you anyway because it’s terrible lol.

Tony Mingoia

I am a shorter arse at 5'5", but the tallest in my family. My mum is 5'4", my dad 5'1", and my sister 4'11"! 😅

Stevus

Looks like the 'yays' have it! Looks like the yays have destroyed the competition, won the cup, partied all night and are now nursing a raging hangover! Yay! It seems I was right about you helping with translations😆 I have wondered for DECADES what was going on with some of the Spanish, so please do keep it up (thats what she said!🤪 sorry😅). Watery Fowls is classic, time tested comedy that, as you pointed out with 100% from Rotten Tomatoes, the only people who don't like it are the poor souls who've never seen it. The only criticism from me is that it's disappointingly short. It will be done before you know it, and you'll be wanting more. Great choice!👍🤗✨

Mandy Cane Lane

Well first episode was fun, so that sounds awesome!! 🙌🏻🤗

Mandy Cane Lane

One of the reasons I chose it! So glad the general consesus is that of approval! I did something right! 😃🤪

Mandy Cane Lane

Will do! I am confident this is going to be a fun one Roger! 🙌🏻✨️

Mandy Cane Lane

Awesome! So glad I chose something right for once! 🤣🤣

Mandy Cane Lane

Ahhhh! One of those. My "cozy watch in bed when I am sick" is Shrek for some reason 🤣🤣

Mandy Cane Lane

Oh wow Ash! I had no idea about the divorce before series 2! Very cool of them to continue to work together 🌈🙌🏻✨️

Mandy Cane Lane

Hi Julian! Thank you and welcome!!! 🌈🌻✨️And I seem to have a habit of doing things in the weirdest order/way possible. 🤣

Mandy Cane Lane

Curious... it is weird to think that my parents grew up without color TV, but then again, we grew up without the internet 😅🤪

Mandy Cane Lane

Hello Gary! Welcome to my patreon!! 🌈🤗🌻✨️ And thank you, so glad I chose a good one! 😃

Mandy Cane Lane

Wonderful! So glad almost everyone is happy with this!! 🌈🤗✨️

Mandy Cane Lane

Hahaha, you silly goose! Super glad you enjoyed Josh 🩵🩵

Mandy Cane Lane

Of course not John! Car Share will continue! 🤗✨️🌻

Mandy Cane Lane

Haha, awesome. I can just feel this is going to be fun!! 🤗🌻

Captain Howdy

My younger brother is 6ft ... but I still have all my hair ... so that will teach him for being too tall

Danny

Well I grew up in the 90s and black and white TVs still were common to find in the early 90s, they was pretty much gone by the end of the 90s. I had several tapes too of old kids shows which were also in black and white that id watch

Jeffrey44

Good news. They are making new episodes at the moment. I suspect they will be just as good as the original ones, if not better. As you would expect, the hotel is now in the Caribbean (or Caribbean as an American would say).

DriveIn

Yay! This was one of the best things you could have chosen, it's been voted the greatest British sitcom of all time on more than one occasion, and the fact that you are bilingual means that even though I've seen this shows loads of times I'm still finding new things to laugh about thanks to you! 😁

Josh

I've only ever seen the 'problematic' German episode and loved it so I'll say yay 😁

Josh

I might be wrong but that Connie booth lady I think was John cleeses wife, they wrote the show together and they ended up getting a divorce while making the show

Josh

What about riff raff from rocky horror?

Josh

Bollocks I was like you I'm wrong 😂 the wife was his wife in real life 🤦

Stevus

I got better

Chad Hall

Absolutely yay! This is like the mona lisa of british comedy - masterpiece!

TheHigh

never enjoyed this , always found it was well to tame , outdated and unfunny , i love John Cleese though don't get me wrong! hope you can enjoy it Mandy , its just not good comedy imo and all too generic , i think there are a few episodes where they drop the n word in a racial way BUT it is making fun of people like that and some viewers took it the wrong way if i remember correctly so it was removed from streaming places ect , see you on the next taskmaster videos i guess✌️🕊️🤍 p.s did you ever react or get to watch "the life of Brian" or "Holy Grail"? are they on your other tier by any chance? they would be fantastic to react to!!

TheHigh

that's just my opinion btw hehe , i always hate to be negative but cant help speak my mind at times 😂 clearly LOADS of people love this show , so its a great choice!👍 also just found your Monty Python reactions and didn't realize I've already seen em haha.. gunna enjoy them again this evening , have a great day night 🖤

Balkyne

No no. You're right. If you look up connie booth she was indeed married to John Cleese

Mandy Cane Lane

Hi Tribesmen! I appreciate your input, but the yays have this one. I will continue all the other shows though, hopefully you like them! 🤗🌻

Mandy Cane Lane

Yes there is! They are sister tongues as well as portuguese. Some things are understandable between languages, and some are not 🤭

Mandy Cane Lane

Hahaha! Will translate indeed Stevus! Can't have you guys missing out 🤣🤪🩵

Mandy Cane Lane

Oh wow! Wouldn't even have noticed. He did a great job! 🤣🤣 But will keep in mind and we shall see 🤪

Tribesmen

Yeah It’s not a bad show I just put nay for no reason really lol

Benjamin Taylor-Yates

Think that's the first I've seen Mandy do a posh voice, and the voice over the people in the car 🤣 . It's interesting to see Mandy react to Spanish, good or bad. I had to help some Spanish girls today to find the right bus. "Numero Uno" is the entirety of the language I know apparently. 🤣 I recognised the blue rucksacks from the language school in Holgate, I always wish them "vale" as they get off the bus.

Mandy Cane Lane

Hahaha! Dang it! I didn't know the thumbnail came through! 🤣🤣

Mike M

Are Argentinians statistically shorter than the Brits I wonder? You always point out how tall people are in your reactions lol.

Mandy Cane Lane

Hahahahhahaah! 🤣🤣🤣 I thought it was already obvious I am a woman of many voices 🤪

Mandy Cane Lane

Understandable The High! Nothing wrong with having your opinions, I did ask also! 🤪

Mandy Cane Lane

Hahaha, sounds like you have memory similar to mine! 🤣🤣🤣

Josh

Have I mentioned robot wars here before? I must have or I'm a lil concerned 😂😂

Stevus

Yes you definitely have😂

Josh

Oh I don't remember, how did you remember anyway 😂 btw just started watching the Lego masters video

Jason Webb

I'm a bit late to the party, but... YAY!

Todd Rush

I'm even later to the party, but...Yay!

Mandy Cane Lane

Hi Todd! Not sure if I have welcomed you yet, but just in case, welcome friend! 🌈🤗✨️
