| John Cleese once remarked that he did as much with "Fawlty Towers" in 12 episodes than Lucille Ball did in several years of "I Love Lucy". When I first heard that, I thought Cleese was being as crass as Basil Fawlty. But you know something? He came darn close. Fawlty Towers, Volume Two, contains the episodes "Builders", "Wedding Party", and "Psychiatrist". My God, what a triple play. If comedy is the pleasure we take in watching other people's sufferings, then John Cleese wrote nothing but perfect comic scripts. "Builders" centers on Basil's constant efforts to save money which, of course, leads to constant frustration with the bumblers he winds up hiring. "Wedding Party" and "Psychiatrist" are perfect examples of Basil's inability to avoid the temptation of interfering in his patrons' affairs. And I use "affairs" quite literally. Volume 2 of the "Fawlty Towers" series is a laugh riot. I recommend it, along with the other volumes in this series! |
