One of the funniest pieces of television you will ever see.
The last 10 minutes is what most people will remember, but from start to finish this is comedic gold. John Cleese at his finest. Never has a man been so endlessly frustrated to such great comedic effect. The supporting cast all contribute in their own way to making this episode a standout.
It feels like a very British piece of television and it showcases everything that is endearing about this brand of humour: it's silly, absurd, witty, and uses physical comedy to hilarious ends.
If there's one episode of Fawlty Towers you ever watch, it needs to be this one.
