I've seen every Fawlty Towers episode 10 times by now, but for me the "HE PUT BASIL IN THE RATATOUILLE?" scene still cracks me up!
It's spelled Raymond Luxury Yacht, but it's pronounced 'Throat-Warbler Mangrove'
basil's conversation with Joan Sanderson about the view from her room "what do you expect to see from a Torquay bedroom" etc.
share"I wanna Waldorf Salad!" -- that whole bit.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"One batch, two batch...Penny and dime."
Pretty much all of "The Anniversary" episode. Basil's plan to dress up Polly is absolutely outrageous.
shareThe fire drill. I almost feel sorry for Basil.
Any time he rants at guests.
"Worthington, we're being attacked by giant bats!"
In "The Germans" when Sybil is in hospital and rings every half hour to remind Basil to do stuff around the hotel.. In one scene we see him hanging the moose's head, Polly answers the phone and says, "Oh hello, Mrs Fawlty" to which Basil screams, "I'm doing it now, I'm doing it... tell her I'm doing it now!"
I've not seen the episode recently but just thinking about it gives me a laugh!
