"Look, I'm a doctor! I'm a doctor and I want my sausages!"
Pure gold, that line! 😂😂😂
I once worked at a audio facility on reception where Geoffrey Palmer (the doctor in this episode) came in to do a voiceover. Asked him if he wanted a tea, coffee or perhaps some sausages. Guy didn’t even smile 😂
Shame he was one of those types.
Perhaps he had a cock-up on the sense of humour front?
Miserable git😢
That's because he had to be careful around rapid movements of air.
None of that happened
"If the guest isn't singing 'oh, what a beautiful morning' I don't immediately think oh, there's another one snuffed it in the night!"
What a line 😂
Another one for the Fawlty Towers book of rememberence
Polly: "we thought you said... the linen."
Basil: "BRILLIANT!"
LOL
I remember John Cleese explaining he had a friend who worked in the hotel industry, who said people dying in the night was quite a common occurrence. Their conversation became the inspiration for this episode.
That's right - his friend Andrew Leeman who trained at the Savoy, and in whose honour the dead guy in the episode was named.
The guy playing the corpse did a great job
Derek Royle. Also in Magical Mystery Tour.
Ingram (the guest with the blow-up doll) was a dig aimed at Richard Ingrams of the Spectator who had called the show 'nasty' and described Basil as 'lacking in humanity'.
🤣
Not a dig, it was absolute revenge.
Richard Ingrams of Private Eye.
This is my favourite episode of Fawlty Towers. Brilliant physical comedy.
Classic Farce.
This episode inspired my dad to become a Doctor. He thought the authority you can get by demanding sausages was the coolest thing ever.
"I'm a doctor and I want my sausages!" One of the great lines in TV history.
I'm sure everyone here knows of someone who's just drifted off peacefully as soon as they've sat down in front of the telly or as soon as they've put themselves to bed.
Indeed, an elderly relative arrived at my grandmother's one Winter evening for a stay, just off a long distance coach. She got him sat down on an armchair by the fire to get a warm whilst she went to make some tea, and when she returned with the tea tray he was dead. Poor thing, she was very upset by it.
glad your both enjoying this english iconic show . The location for the comedy was based on the Gleneagles Hotel in Torquay, Devon, where John Cleese stayed with the Monty Python team in 1973.Fawlty Towers is getting a third series after more than four decades off air. John Cleese will return for the new season and will be joined by his daughter who was not even born when the last season first aired
The chef Terry lived in the same road as me and his son was in the year below me at school in the 1980's
Mr Leeman ( Derek Royle) was also Jolly Jimmy Johnson the courier in Magical Mystery Tour.
Sitcom or horror movie? No - just the most perfectly executed farce ever put on screen. It’s a lost art form.
British Farce... Whoops there go my trousers.. ooh Hello Vicar..
Possibly French Farce?@@Wabbit_Hunta
Manuel: He bite me!
Old Lady: You frightened him! You make sudden movements like that of course he is going to bite! Don't you have dogs in Calcutta??
lmao
The funniest half hour in the history of the BBC.
Every episode seems more funny than the last 😂
John Cleese was staying at a large hotel after the first series had been shown One of the hotel porters told him one of biggest problem they had in the hotel was “getting rid of the stiffs” without upsetting other hotel guests!!!!
Fun Fact - Prunella Scales(Sybil) made a narrowboat series, when she was in my town i appear walking on the towpath for a few seconds, it's still online @ Channel 4, fame at last!
Jack Mehoff???
😂😂😂😂😂
I think he got a British cousin named Wayne Kerr.😂🤣😆😂
My favourite line I'm a doctor and I want my sausages. Manuel ees finish bye bye please bye bye.
Love how Basil just jabs Manuel in the eye. Let me explain this.
I watched this on slow motion on video aged about 10/11 to see Basils finger slide quickly beside Manuel's eye.
For me, this is the best episode of Fawlty Towers (or should I say Flowery Twats?). The way builds from a casual mention of the "use by" date, through all the misunderstandings, to the ending is just pure farce.
2 dead. 25 to go. 😂😂
Oh spiffing! 😅
Did you know Polly is an American Actress ?
Connie Booth yeah everyone knows that, married to John Cleese during first series
she is also the same weight as a duck,,,,,,,,, @@conorbrierley1
We should get you on Mastermind. Specialist subject the bleeding obvious.
A great episode
I laughed so hard first time i saw it as a todler 40+ years ago, that i nearly choked myself. Still the most hilarious brilliant tv comedy ever. Cheers from Norway!
Just posting this so when you do Black Books, you'll know I was right.
Damn! Was that half a burnt pizza? Was that even cut up lol?
Some don't cut up pizza
@@mlee6050 Savages!
"Hotel for people who have a better than fifty percent chance of making it through the night." Just brilliant
"Exit stage laundry"... then spend the next 3 days in the pub.
"This is a hotel not the Burma railway" lol!!
'British Leyland' was a massive conglomerate of old British car companies, bailed out Twice by the Government. They finally went under completely in the early 90s.
GM and Ford are lined up for their bail-out within the next two years from the American Tax-Payer!
It won't work, alas.
"...el perro microscópico..." HAHAHA!! LOL! "Don't you have dogs in Calcutta??" HAHAH!!
Love when they say ’we’re cut this but out’ and we have seen all the f ups
You guys would love Red Dwarf.
Yes definitely. we want Red Dwarf!!!!! (and Porridge with Ronnie Barker).
This is a hotel, not the Burma railway 🤣🤣🤣
They should have just stepped back and let the doctor handle all of it.
That would literally be dead comedy.
This episode reminded me of your president. ...A Weekend at Bernie's.
This is a good one. xx
Spencer forget the fake background it looks strange because your body and face keeps disappearing, I'd sooner see you with a old blanket hung behind you or a plain green screen sheet. Anyway great reaction guys
Have you guys picked up that Connie Booth who plays Polly co-wrote the whole series with John Cleese? It's part of the reason Basil and Polly have so much rapport.
They were also married..... although John Cleese went on to have a few Wives. lol
But not at the same time...as Sybil said in Communication Problems.@@rogerwolstenholme2710
😂 absolute brilliant comedy, a farce!!! reall life is really like this! 😂
I had a dead body beside me on a plane once
how awful
@@vallee3140 it was quite funny actually
suppose its okay till it starts to go off.@@fintonmainz7845
Plot twist: it was the pilot!
@@frankw9619
There was an American remake of Fawlty Towers called Amanda's. It had a female lead because American TV apparently couldn't accept a central character who was so negative.
Nothing bad was allowed to happen. The dead guy in this episode was revealed to be alive after all. Ridiculous stuff. Can't beat the original.
I’m sure I’ve seen an old American remake that had a male lead? Was awful of course.
I think the USA has done about three different remakes of FT, all of them unsuccessful
Americans love guns and killing but hell forbid they cannot have absurd humour.
Was that the one with Bea Arthur?
In one version Bea Arthur played Amanda Cartwright, who was the equivalent of Basil Fawlty
Bottom is a great shout!
I'm a doctor and I want my sausages!
My favourite episode.
Review Bottom next - thank me later!
Could I recommend The Russell Howard Hour, I think you'd really enjoy it?
after watching some classic British TV series how well do you think they would be received in America?
Is Spencer eating a burnt pizza? 😮
That's gone beyond burnt - it's flippin' carbonised!
Spencer cooked this pizza himself and it's off. It should have been eaten by the 3rd.
"I'm a CZcamsr and I want my pizza!"
"Ees finnische!"
Not sure if it has been mentioned but John Cleese was married to the actress Connie Booth who played Polly. They both were involved in writing the series.
They were divorced by the end of the second series!
They wern't involved, as that would assume other writers, they were the writers in entirity.
And at least fifty people mention it like we don't already know in every comment section.
And they were divorced by the end of the 1st series.
Why is copyright spelt 3 different ways? It's bugging me.
You remember what show you're watching right?
Same reason Fawlty Towers is spelled Flowery Twats.
You could have done one for, as four
@@EmbraceTheSuck21 forty tower's ?
If Basil would just follow the normal rules when life 'events' occur, his life would be more straightforward and manageable. Alas, of course, he's Basil, so that is not possible.
Hoho, it's faulty time 🎉🎉👍🏴
There's a story that snooker legend Jimmy White actually took his dead father in a taxi to the pub.. Not sure how much truth I n this
Jack MeHoff.. So not Ben Doon and Phil Macavity then?
A Doctor (with a duty to report) discovers bad food.
What do you think is coming?
Haaa!
It was SJ or Stuttering John's fault.
"I'm a doctor and I want my sausages".
Again, I won't watch this one. I'm just going to have to wait until I can get a credit card so I can get Patreon. I can't bear the cut-out laughing.
CANT BELIEVE YOU CUT THE BLOW UP DOLL OUT WHEN OTHERS LEAVE IT IN, YOU MUST BE SO SENSITIVE, ITS NOT CZcams THATS FOR SURE
I wouldn't want to eat sausages in those days they were only 10% meat and the meat was floor scrapings!
Who's Jack MeHoff...? He's a dead ringer for Daniel, only paler...
