ContempraInn 🌹 @contemprainn.bsky.social · 20/09/202651 years ago today, one of most iconic British sitcoms made its debut on the BBC. Do you know which one this is? 2841743248
titustiger.bsky.social @titustiger.bsky.social · 20/09/2026This might be the (in my mind) top comedy of all times I watched it six nights in a row, then when all were repeated on Sunday.. I never laughed harder, even the second time through 010
Dr Eric Farmer @himself132.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I can almost recite the scripts. Sadly, John Cleese is now a supporter of Rupert Lowe. 010

nobsforgma.bsky.social @nobsforgma.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Thanks for reminding me to re-watch! Always one of my favorites. 010
CALI GIRL @calidemocrat.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Pardon my ignorance but I'm in the delinquent child country. So this aired after Monty Python was off the air? I've never seen it but it looks hilarious. 020

Orange is the new 🤮 @emilyrps73.bsky.social · 20/09/2026My dad looked a LOT like John Cleese and was a college professor. His students put a sign on his office door that said "fawlty towers". He loved the show and I loved watching with him as a kid. He's been gone 20 years now and this reminds me so much of him 021

Jim M @jim27182.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Voted the funniest British comedy show of all time, Farty Towels!! Oops, I meant Fawlty Towers)) And to think that Basil Fawlty was based on an actual person.🤪 RIP Prunella Scales and Andrew Sachs. 020
Lara @meowomon.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Flowery Twats! Lol, I loved the sign that kept changing. Holy god, that show was funny!! 010
blueandy2525.bsky.social @blueandy2525.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Perhaps the finest example of how to mix two extreme staples of British humour - clever word play and end of the pier slapstick. 011
Kylie Middleton @kymid129.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Can’t believe there were so few episodes! Classic 020

AngryHoss @angryhoss.bsky.social · 20/09/2026That's Basil. Filmed after Holy Grail. Inspired by the hotel they were in during filming 2 seasons, 12 episodes. Total One of the most successful BBC shows in history 010
patfromthestix @patfromthestix.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Fawkty Towers. The episodes with the Germans and the one with Basil the rat were my favorites. 1130
SpikePuff @spikepuff.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Hilarious Faulty Towers in real life, he was married to Polly 010
🇨🇦 CATNAP 😼 @cmcd54.bsky.social · 20/09/2026We got it too but I was a little too young to stay home to watch tv, with a whole new world to explore as a young man. Seen some weird shit for sure when it was one of two choices on nights I did stay in. Missed early SNL for the same reason. Oh, and no cable 😿 020
Jess Morgan @justjess88.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Fawlty Towers! Sad it was so short lived. I quote this show on the regular lol 020
jk-myhumbleopinion.bsky.social @jk-myhumbleopinion.bsky.social · 20/09/2026No. But I wanna know. Hilarious. 010

🚫👑Is he dead yet?🚫👑 @its-its.bsky.social · 20/09/2026God, I loved this absurd show. Because PBS showed this, Dr Who, Keeping up Appearances, Monty Python, and so many other British shows, I will always be a donor. 2571

ABZ@youwantawar @youwantawar.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I’m going to binge watch the series today. There’s only something like 12 episodes, and they're short - but oh so funny. 010
thegladerunner.bsky.social @thegladerunner.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Hilarious — and sad too. Cleese said he based the character of Basil Fawlty on his own father, who must have been an appalling man for any child to suffer. 020
aquabluephoenix.bsky.social @aquabluephoenix.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Saw my dad watching it when I was little and that was why I gave it a chance when I got older. 021
"Whiskey" Callahan @whiskeycallahan.bsky.social · 20/09/2026He's a bigoted anti-trans scumbag now, to hell with his overrated sitcom. People should stop cosplaying as 'allies' if they still support wealthy bigots who bully trans people online. Just because I'm not trans doesn't mean I look the other way when they are bullied by rich assholes like Cleese. 100

As well as the complete Gilbert & Sullivan, and every Shakespearean comedy. 240
