Fawlty Towers

[Ishmael]

Is coming back, with the original cast, even though some of them are dead.

Just kidding.

Comedy series Fawlty Towers is set to be revived after more than 40 years.
John Cleese, who played Basil Fawlty, will be returning to write and star alongside his daughter Camilla Cleese.
The two-series show, which featured on BBC2 in 1975 and 1979, followed the lives of Torquay hotelier Basil and his wife Sybil as they tried to keep their business and marriage afloat.
The new series will explore how the dramatic and cynical Basil navigates the modern world.
Castle Rock Entertainment announced on Tuesday it had closed a deal with Cleese to bring back the television series.
The revival will also see Basil and a daughter he has just discovered is his, team up to run a boutique hotel.

Cleese is also well known as one of the original members of the Monty Python comedy group.

My father loved this series. No doubt he was an incurable Anglophile, who introduced me to Monty Python's flying circus at a tender age, and then dragged all of us off to live in old blighty for a while, (No doubt where I developed green mossy growth behind my ears). But it was fun. It was like living in a comedy sketch 24 hours a day. You could almost hear the sound track as you were walking down the street.

I don't think even Cleese can catch lightning in a bottle.

John gets to do whatever the fuck he wants. He earned it.

 

[Mid]

Only 12 episodes ever made ...

 

[The Dark Knight]

Cleese is very vocal against the “cancel culture”. Hopefully the show gives them plenty to get “outraged” about.

Don’t mention the war!

Why? Why? Why?

It better be bloody good coz it'd be such a shame to sully the awesomeness that is Fawlty Towers.

Incidentally, Prunella Scales is an accomplished boater, and has done a wonderful series that I love, Great Canal Journeys:

Imagine naming your kid Prunella.

It's amazing only 12 episodes were made. They were sheer genius.
