Another day, another show completed!! I wonder if these have any bloopers worth while.

I loved this show and understand why it is an absolute favorite! Hope you guys had as much fun as I did with it. Soon on to whatever comes next... I have to do some research.

Anywho, wishing you all the best!

Love it! Thanks for reacting to these Mandy, they were great! Hope you don’t mind me throwing in a few suggestions for the next one…. Father Ted, One foot in the grave, Not going out. Or whatever you choose I’m sure it’ll be great. 🤗 💙

Gary T

Your Faulty Towers reactions, one of the highlights of my week (sad little life 😃). You did pick one of the all time best UK comedies, so a hard act to follow, but I’m sure you’ll choose well. 🙂

This is NOT the end ......... Next episode Series 1 Episode 1 - I've been doing this (off and on) for 40 odd years. Essentially a specially extended Groundhog Day. So you are not finished until you've commited every line of the script to memory (but still double check occasionally). 😜👌

JokerDanny

I vote Father Ted or Only Fools and horses for your next show

(Just) Steve

You almost jumped out of your chair when the gun was fired! 😂

Hamsters are dicks . I would take a rat over a hamster every day of the week , really loving pets.

(Just) Steve

Father Ted would be great, I think Mandy would love Dougal.

Danny

Fingers crossed for Blackadder soon 🤞 . Start with series 2 though. Majority of reaction channels do that. Each series is different, so it's fine to do. And it's not long.

I remember when Jeffrey was first.

“He put basil in the ratatouille? AHHHHH” 🤣🤣 Manuel is the best! Also on the boxset DVD, John Cleese said in an interview that he planned to do a 90 minute special of fawlty towers in the mid-90s where a now retired Basil and Sybil fly to Barcelona to visit Manuel and his family. Unfortunately they never got round to making it 😢 Another show that went by too fast!

Z is for Zed

The issue with rats (and pigeons) for a lot of people is the strong association with disease. Also, compared to hamsters and gerbils which the most common pet variety are sourced from deserts, rats tend to be freer with their urine distribution.

Josh

The last 3 months have flown by incredibly fast. I'm really pleased you enjoyed this show Mandy 🤗 I.hope you enjoy what ever you watch next just as much.

Alan

Great episode! Shooting Stars is a panel show with Bob Mortimer in every episode. You would love George Dawes and Angelos Epithemiou too.

Jeffrey44

Are you suggesting that I'm not? If there is a post before mine, I can not see it.

Z is for Zed

You were first, but this is not the first. I was talking about when you were first first.

steven

Hey, that was great. Another show ended, but I'm looking forward to whatever you pick next. Just don't let yourself be influenced. As for the best pet debate, forget hamsters and rats; ferrets win hands down. I used to keep them years ago. I had one called DEREK. It might sound like a strange name for a ferret, but DEREK suited him. I used to take him out for walks, and he would toddle off on his own. All I had to do was shout "DEREK, DEREK, DEREK," and he would come running, bless him. I loved that little guy.😜 Anyway, like I said, whatever you pick will be good. As always, thank you, Mandy. 🤗🤗

Fawlty Towers is the comedy all other British sit-coms are judged against. In terms of other classic British comedies, Blackadder and Only Fools and Horses are up there.

Jeffrey44

Miss Tibbs and Miss Gatsby (the two elderly ladies who liked the Siberian hamster but weren't keen on the rat) also appear in their own spin off show.

Ash Jeffries

Ah, now we're talking! Superb episode and such a shame it's the end but they definitely went out on a high! Basil's "Not hot enough!" followed by his pained yelp as he realised the plate was scalding hot always makes me laugh out loud - with all the chaos it can be the most random, almost throwaway bits that make me laugh the most! Haha! Been a pleasure watching this show with you, Mandy! Glad you have enjoyed it so much! Like a few others, I also recommend Only Fools and Horses. At 64 episodes, many of the later ones feature length, it is quite the prospect for your channel, but it's a wonderful show, a British classic, and I am sure you'd really enjoy it! 😃

DriveIn

From now on when I'm exasperated I'm going to say "A bajillion facepalms!" 😄btw "companionable" is absolutely a word 🤗

Benjamin Taylor-Yates

Achievement Unlocked: "Flowery Twats" - compete the show. 😜 I always wonder why Americans do that: they say 'quote-unquote' but do the actions as well. We just do the actions or say 'in commas' or 'in inverted commas' How's the Tattoo doing?? Have you asked everyone you know if they wanna see it yet? Or at least Insta'd it 📸 Hahahah

Muggins

Thanks, Mandy. Very much appreciated. 🤗 One more down, congratulations 🥳 Just a hundred more or so to go on the list, right? I'm game as long as you are. ¡Vamos!

Robert 'Neutron' Sound

You can tell Manuel's Spanish accent is fake because he didn't say "¿Espleep?"

Mandy Cane Lane

And as long as you enjoy how you spend your time and you aren't harming anyone, life is good! 🙌🏻✨️

Remi

Now this shows finished does that mean maybe we get to see you watch Derek next?, I was looking for the bloopers the other day and I could only find single ones on 50 second videos but I think there was a making of documentary

Mandy Cane Lane

Hahah, really? I've never had a hamster. Thought they were cuddly 🤭

Mandy Cane Lane

Hmmm.... very interesting indeed! Will consider it Danny! 🩵

BobSandwiches

Another completed series! I'm going to treat myself to a Chocolate Eclair in your honour! Indeed: Who knows where the time goes, as Sandy Denny once said ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeZL2FXkGqI )... Hang on - now my comment box is multi-line! Possibly replies are single line only? Bah! Stop messing about for no good reason, Patreon. Who do you think you are? Microsoft?

Mandy Cane Lane

Right? Like where did the last 6 months even go? For example I have already watched over 30 XFMs.... like What!? 🤯😅

Mandy Cane Lane

Hmmm.... will have to do some research to see what I choose next. 🤓Shooting Stars is most definitely on my list though! 🙌🏻✨️

Josh

Speaking of XFM after 8 weeks I've caught up though I skipped the ones without Karl. Tomorrow's one will be the first one I've watched as it drops. Go me 🤗

2026-09-23 20:00 What a great episode this was. Well done for adding another series to your 'Completed' pile. 'Implied' was correct btw :) And I leave you with 'Fowl Try Waste'. Another anagram of the shows title. Glad you enjoyed it as much I did watching your reactions to it. Well done also on all the boom mic spottings. :)

Mandy Cane Lane

I am so glad they did go out with a bang! This show was great fun... so much so all the boom mics are forgivable 🤪

Mandy Cane Lane

Haha, I live chocolate eclairs! Hope you enjoyed it! 🩵 And I have no idea what Patreon is up to.. but they are making a mess 🤦🏻‍♀️

Mandy Cane Lane

Perhapsly... 🤔 Haha. Will have to check put my options!

Mandy Cane Lane

Hahaha, yup, the Spanish speaking have a problem with words that start with S and are followed by a consanant 🤣

Mandy Cane Lane

Hahaha, pretty much! And every week or so I get new suggestions to add to the list! 😅 I am game!!! 💪🏻😎

Mandy Cane Lane

Haha, I have no idea... kind of overkill, no? 🤣 And I have only showed my bestie and family that asked. Haha. I am quite a private person so no uploads.🙈😅

Remi

Great (you know you need a Karl fix😉)

Mandy Cane Lane

It was a fantastic episode! Great one to end with too. And the ONLY reason I haven't gotten to OFAH yet is the sheer amount of episodes it has... but I would love to watch it soon!

Mandy Cane Lane

Do they really?? How does that work since they live there? 🤔

Mandy Cane Lane

I can see why Zimmy! Absolutely brilliant stuff! 🙌🏻✨️

steven

The thing about the ferret is true; I just changed the name to protect the innocent.🤗

Benjamin Taylor-Yates

Very private. Only a few thousand followers. 🤣 A tattoo is worth a post tho, people will love it. 👍

Gary T

Haha, Sorry, didn’t mean to add pressure 😂. It must be challenging to pick the best from something you haven’t seen yet, but you’re getting a lot of good suggestions. I wont add to the list 😉

Jeffrey44

Yes, it's called Only Fools and Horses. If you search for "Tibbs and Gatsby Only Fools" you will find a Facebook video of them.

Charlie Walker Jr

Thank you for completing this. Reignited my love for this show and how brilliant the writing was.

Danny

Plus its Rowan Atkinson, and since you like Manuel and Karl , I think you will love Baldrick 😃

Muggins

Silly Americanos adding 'O's to English words, estupido. 🤦‍♂️ I couldn't be so pomposo - not for a momento. I don't know why Spanish is famoso for doing that, on the contrario; totally imaginario. For ejemplo if they would examino a diccionario rapido they'd see how incorrecto that is. I'm not that industrioso and it would be laborioso. So folks might find it impetuoso and odioso.🤪 (Dont be furioso you're still fabuloso.)😁

Muggins

Oh that's interesting. Are you learning American like Mr. Jeffrey? Because it sounds like you would do really well at it.🙂

Julian

OFAH is one of the best written shows ever. I won’t be upset if you don’t watch it soon though, only because I recently watched it. I suggest Friday Night Dinner or Father Ted. Purely based on how popular they were on other channels. Or if you’re going to tackle Alan Partridge you can either start with ‘Knowing Me Knowing You’, the first proper Patridge show, or you could start with ‘The Day Today’, a 6 episode sketch show where the character begins on tv (which is very wacky and has someone you’ll recognise from IT Crowd)

Julian

This link crashed about 7 times on Dailymotion. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, or if it makes a difference whether you sign up. Anyone else using iPad with Dailymotion opening in Safari? Why can’t they play from within Patreon? Forgive my ignorance, I know there will be technical reasons.

Mandy Cane Lane

Oh no Julian! That sucks. I personally have no idea, and not sure if it makes a difference, but there is a link to take you directly to Dailymotion at the bottom of the description. Hopefully that works 🤞🏻

Mandy Cane Lane

I am so glad! It was a lot of fun, but flew by too fast! 😅

Mike M

I don't know if it's something you would do a react video too but this is a fun watch for some behind the scenes info on the show. (Sadly it's in 3 parts) https://youtu.be/U1MOdntdKa8?si=Dn3l8vd2r2GHFZPg Plus in part 3 it has a German speaking Manuel doing a Spanish accent? Also Manuel as an Italian in the Spanish version.

JR

Looking for a new show? Have you considered Flight of the Conchords?! Not British but a similar sense of humour.

JR

Shooting stars will be good as just one of episodes similar to how you do WILTY. It's very Bob, completely bizarre!

Mandy Cane Lane

Ohh, that is actually on my list! Thank you for the idea! 🤗

JR

Excellent! I think it's definitely your kind of sense of humour.

Industrialist2015ofUk

Sorry Mand's, but short-haired black cats, are the ones i don't like. xD anyway, have a great day! 😆 btw, have you heard of the Cecil Hotel in LA. there was a body in THAT Water tank...nevermind pigeons =P

FeriLuce

How people in the UK used to talk before Labour ruined schooling.

FeriLuce

Cause famously fleas on rats caused plague, so there has been centuries of people being afraid of them.
