8. I loved that show growing up

I still have all of the episodes on VHS around somewhere that I taped when I was in High School.
I especially loved the one episode where Basil had a bet on the horses (dragonfly i think it was) and didn't want Cybil to know.

9. My favorite TV show of all-time

Ahead of Seinfeld even...

A few of my favorite lines.

(From The Kipper and The Corpse)
"Dead dog in the dining room eh? Egon Ronay will knock off a star for that"

and of course from (The Germans)
"So that's two eggs mayonnaise, a prawn Goebbels, a Herman Goering, and four Colditz Salads."

And when he beats the hell out of his car in "Gourmet Night" I still to this day laugh so hard I can't breath.

If anyone is interested, I've been toying around with writing a few Fawlty Towers fan fics. If anyone wants to collaborate send me a message.

"What's the matter Basil?"
"Hum? Nothing, dear, nothing wrong, no"
"Well, you seem so different. So...happy"
"Happy....yes, I remember what happy was like"
