RIP Manuel.

:(

Such very sad news.

Very sad to hear this. He was such a huge element in the success of Fawlty Towers. When you think what he managed to do with "que?" or "I know nothing."

"Que?" and "I know nothing." are two phrases I now use on a regular basis, so thank you Manuel and Rest In Peace.

Very sad news.

Enjoyed the episode tonight and was pleased they put it on BBC1.

Perhaps I never noticed it before, but is there a mistake in that where Sybil throws a cup of coffee at Basil only for it to miss him and soak the Major instead and everyone carried on as though nothing had happened?

zooo noticed the exact same thing last night!

Que? :S

Yeah, I pointed that out to Aaron when I was watching last night. I never noticed it before either!

The olden days, when they didn't let anything stop a take.

Yes. I haven't watched FT for a very long time and noticed how gag heavy it really is. Quite brilliant really.

Don't forget that the Major is an old soak anyway.

Anyway RIP Manuel. His dad was on the Good Old Days afterwards on BBC4.

And Herc you are comparatively new to this site aren't you.

What's that got to do with anything or the price of fish and chips?

I honestly always thought Andrew Sachs was Leonard Sachs son.
