      Maybe they are trying to be funny and do their take on the changing letters at the start of each show.
      I doubt it though because it is This Morning after all.

    The end of this interview was hillarious. Segment is over but John is making a point and the presenters wondering where he might go with it so get very nervous. Then he gets cut off and you hear John say ' and the other thing ' ...
    I love the mayhem Cleese creates.

  • @thebrummierailenthusiasts5329

    Yes John Cleese always a legend he’s 85 this year so that means he’s halfway in his 80s now and he’s still got two daughters Cynthia and Camilla and two grandchildren grandson and granddaughter via his daughter Cynthia

    As John said, it’s depressing watching Fawlty Towers these days because the vast majority of the actors have passed on. Every time I rewatch it, more have gone. Bernard Cribbins and Geoffrey Palmer held on for a long time but now even they’re gone. You don’t have to have known these people personally to find it saddening.

    Bernie Cribbins. Never heard this before. I am grateful he was able to return to the screen one last time as Wilfred Mott. I cried a bit if I might say.
    Somehow, I always forget Fawlty Towers was only 12 episodes. Just goes to show, it’s quality, not quantity that matters. Cheers John Cleese and Connie Booth.

    I can never understand why a 2 hour programme cuts someone off after 7 minutes, usually 4 minutes. Surely a good producer can do a few tweaks later on to get things back on time. They should never have the celebrity interviews in last for this reason .

    • @emultra759

      It's a format careening into obsolescence. Long form conversations in non-traditional media are taking over, and for good reason.

    Interesting they touched on the fact that he is now writing with his daughter, but didn't actually ask about the new series of Fawlty Towers he is meant to be writing with her. The just stuck to discussing the original and stage show, which is a bit of a shame. I would like to hear the reasoning behind trying to bring it back for new episodes, and how that is going.

      It’s not dated, it’s because you got older and it’s harder to laugh at the stuff you did as a kid or young adult. In a way it’s us who have dated.
