Lord Melbury was the only one in the series that could look Basil level in the eye.

[@dougreed2257]

I think he was a tad shorter than basil, but yes, was still able to look him level, though I remember the delivery guy in the Joan sanderson episode at the end was as big as basil🤔

That "Come on! Come on!" at 0:27 is brilliant!

[@Boskov01]

I love how when Melbury falls Basil immediately smacks Manuel! My sides are now dead and buried.

What a genius John Cleese and what a Guy and professional with loads of funny laughs.

Manuel didn’t do anything wrong he just turned around seeing what happened then basil hit him in the head

Finally, someone's cleared that up, hurrah!
Sorry, I'm just being a tad Fawlty.

In the real world this is called the delegation of responsibility. Essential for the maintenance of face as a boss
The expendable staff member is entirely at fault always .
Basil showed great heart employing migrant labor with accommodation,food and uniform

At 0:39 Basil's face for a brief moment went blue.......da ba dee da ba die

[@KnightoftheLord1]

That comment......... was great. :)

[@johnjoyce341]

An oversight on my wifes part😅

[@wisteela]

I'd have been ok with moving given the reason. But of course, Lord Melbury isn't who he says he is...
