Thanks for those, awesome. Made me laugh hard. Would recommended John Cleese films Clockwise and a Fish called Wanda. Definite echos of Basil Fawlty in both 🙂

2024-01-14 00:20:03 +0000 UTCThe clip in Some Mothers Do 'Ave Em where he is on roller-skates and gets out of control is one of the funniest physical comedy scenes I've ever! ♥

2023-10-29 20:56:16 +0000 UTCI think you'd love Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em KB. Similar to Fawlty Towers as well in which there wasn't many episodes. Just 3 series I think but a classic British sitcom.

2023-10-28 01:29:13 +0000 UTCIf you want to react to comedies from the similar era to this then you should take a look at George & Mildred, it was one of the most popular sitcoms of its time and was sold all around the world.

2023-10-27 12:47:42 +0000 UTCI like that Boomer just assumes now that any animal he sees in a British TV show is going to come to a grisly end.

2023-10-27 07:41:39 +0000 UTCGreen street was a good movie but football factory is just terrible 😂 I think people are trolling you

2023-10-26 13:14:14 +0000 UTCDog Soldiers was the film that was mentioned for Halloween - it's really good.

2023-10-26 10:14:38 +0000 UTCBlackadder would be a fantastic series to start after this one, keep it up KB 👌

2023-10-26 10:13:18 +0000 UTCLooking forward to football factory! Blackadder, the Royle Family or The Vicar of Dibley could all be good series to react to. Although the Royle Family is quite niche to British comedy, so could be hit or miss

2023-10-26 07:56:03 +0000 UTCThe supposed fan invented continuity of the final episode is that the health inspector closed the hotel down, hence no more episodes. I quite like that as an explanation. It's supposedly coming back this year with some follow up, no idea if that will be any good or not though.

2023-10-26 07:43:28 +0000 UTCI love the first series . Brian Blessed !
Erica
2023-10-26 05:02:28 +0000 UTCI'm hoping it's just an idea that John Cleese is floating and not an actual project.
Colin R
2023-10-25 23:17:29 +0000 UTCPersonally I think it will be awful if it goes ahead. Connie Booth was also a writer on the show and was probably a big influence on introducing nuance in some of the scripts, or just plain saying when a joke wouldn’t work (a bit like the influence Stephen Merchant had on Gervais in their earlier work).
Adam
2023-10-25 23:04:19 +0000 UTCI reckon it would be right up King Boomer's street.
Adam
2023-10-25 22:33:31 +0000 UTCBlackadder you will love I think, season 1 I don’t rate but the last season is outstanding and the final episode is as good as it gets.
Chris
2023-10-25 22:23:40 +0000 UTCI'm not sure how a rebooted Fawlty Towers could work in 2023. John Cleese would be on form as ever but without Andrew Sachs, Connie Booth and Prunella Scales, it would feel very empty.
Colin R
2023-10-25 21:46:09 +0000 UTCI know it!
Billy Rockets
2023-10-25 21:44:49 +0000 UTCThere may be an obvious answer to that one.
Colin R
2023-10-25 21:34:35 +0000 UTCI agree with others, you should watch Blackadder next. I was surprised you had not seen it already with you having an interest in history

2023-10-25 21:09:31 +0000 UTCWhy don't anyone react to Ab Fab?
John Hastie
2023-10-25 21:08:24 +0000 UTCA +1 for Blackadder, based on your tastes I think you’d really enjoy that
Chug
2023-10-25 19:40:57 +0000 UTCWould love to see you react to Blackadder or The Vicar of Dibley - 2 more of my favourite British comedies!!
Nick Cossins
2023-10-25 18:42:43 +0000 UTCI’m pretty sure it was Dog Soldiers KB.

2023-10-25 17:49:40 +0000 UTCSomething I always admire about some actor's, is the way that they can play a role from straight to straight up goofy. Ballard Berkeley (The Major) is one of them, saw him in a Peter Cushing adaptation of Hound of the Baskervilles a year or 2 ago. Playing his role completely serious, which was so wild considering I only knew him from Fawlty.

2023-10-25 17:35:42 +0000 UTCAn American Werewolf in London would be the perfect Halloween movie for you Boomer.

2023-10-25 17:31:07 +0000 UTCI'm Alan Partridge next?

2023-10-25 17:23:21 +0000 UTCFawlty towers, an absolute classic. This reminds me of my childhood, watching these episodes with my parents repeatedly. KB I've probably said this a few times, but trust me you have to stick with fools and horses too. I was watching some of series 6 the other day and it's just brilliant. The 2 Xmas specials at the very end of series 5 (frogs legacy and dates) are absolute classic episodes of OFAH. Can't wait for you to react to them. Also the next 2 episodes of series 5 are really good (the longest night and tea for three)Keep going with fools and horses till the end- you will not regret it!

2023-10-25 16:55:07 +0000 UTCNo idea what Halloween film people were recommending. But I highly recommend ’Stitches’ a horror comedy starring the comedian ‘Ross Nobel’
