One of the best character's ever created.... the lore is so deep with this guy he has done books and podcasts and a film

I'm still trying to lose weight around my waistline. I certainly don't want any more lumps. So, no to the breasts. 😂

you might want to brush up on your cockney slang with micky, he does use quite a few phrases that might seem odd

The cargo hold has plenty of supplies. I'm sure food storage was more advanced.

I read the novel back in 1996 when I was living in Seattle. I was laughing out loud through the entire book! 😂 Then I watched the show on television. Funniest show ever!

Canada to London.. are you feeling OK 😂

There are Londons in America, too. But the biggest London is England.

King of awkward

Boring copyright cover. Turned off

Glad to see Benny a very clever and funny man who even had success in the US . Your laughter proves that funny is funny 😂

This is a good episode. Please check out The Germans / Communication problems / The kipper & the corpse !! xx

why would you put toast in the toaster?

Good 'ol Major! One episode he thought a Moose head was really talking to him when it was really Manuel. In another, he tried to kill a rat with his shot gun. And my favorite is when he forgot about the winning horse race money Basil had given him to hold for him so that Sybil wouldn't find out.

Can i ask why americans are so paranoid about copyright

Hi Megan. Story for you here...The late, great Benny Hill, was in Switzerland once, for, I think it was for the Charlie Chaplin Award for comedy. Benny, who was a long-time fan of Chaplin himself, was, after the ceremony, invited into Charlie Chaplin's private office, and was invited to sit at Chaplin's desk. As Benny did so, he was told to look up at a certain position on the shelves of Chaplin's room. There, Benny saw rows of videotapes of ALL of Benny's work. He was told that Charlie Chaplin was a great fan of Benny Hill, which he was very moved by.

There are three episodes you have to see if you're going to watch Fawlty Towers. "The Germans", " The Kipper and the Corpse" and "communication problems". I used to watch this show with my Great Grandad and these three episodes had us crying with laughter.

Oh dear

Dick Emery was much better.

The mighty Cribbins, who left us recently. But the whole thing is a joy. Basil's paranoia being ramped up to 11 is the whole driver of it. Although Cleese was always hugely generous about his co-stars.

Rare to hear of a girl who enjoys Buster Keaton. Also, Happy Dominion (aka Canada) Day. Where in our country do you hail from? (i'm from Toronto)

They say Benny Hill is said to be inappropriate and sexist but if you really watch his stuff the Men are idiots and the women have all the power it was funny back then and still is now enjoy.

As you've probably heard already, Fawlty was based on Donald Sinclair of the Gleneagles Hotel in Torquay. All the Pythons stayed there, whilst on filming location, but all moved out apart from Cleese, who found him hilarious. Eric Idle walked when he left a bag in the hotel foyer, but later found it deposited behind a garden wall. Apparently Sinclair thought it was a bomb, as he'd lately been having staff problems.

I can never get through the Fish Slapping Dance without laughing.

I'm an English guy living in England and have no connection with Canada 🇨🇦.... apart from you 😊

thanks Megan enjoy the rest of your evening😀

You are a lovely woman, Megan. I wish you rainbows.

I remember his shows slways ended with a very funny chase sequence a bit like the Keystone Cops kind of thing.

Wish you didn't have to deal with these stupid Copy right issues here! Hope there's an easy way to do without dealing with this bloody annoying issue here! Nice reactions Megan & hope you can find a way to do another Benny Hill episode without copyright problems.

He would be regarded these days as being sexist I think, but back in the 70s television was less pc.

Benny Hill's brand of humor was hugely popular in the late 60s/early 70s but his style became widely criticised for its unrelenting sexism and ageism, very non-PC at a time when values were changing, especially towards women. And yes, some of his routines owe much to the silent era, but he was also brilliant with exotic accents (you brurry iriot). A very funny, inventive and talented man that I will never tire of. Thanks for sharing Meg and for trying to make sense of a difficult edit.

Just wondered did your family descend from Ireland as Ruth is a Irish name mainly from Kilkenny 🤔

😊😊😊😊😊 Benny Hill has stood the test of time much better than I thought he would, good clean fun though 😊😊❤.

Polly and Fawlty were married in real life and they co wrote the series

There is absolutely nothing wrong with saying "London, England". People have little to be moaning about.

Bell end is the Glans penis,

Just stop calling it British please

I find this so enjoyable watching faulty towers with you

😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤

You won't be missing much, skipping the first series. The only memorable role was Brian Blessed playing King Richard IV, the rest were still finding their feet, so to speak.

Thanks for reacting to the Fawlty Towers episodes, they are so good always brings back memories. You have a great laugh too, hope you keep enjoying the rest of the series.

Best comedy character ever created. Once you go down the Alan Partridge rabbit hole you’ll find yourself in a public area listening to one of his audio books laughing your head off like a complete nutter 😊

Danny used to skate in Starlight Express.

There is a Blackadder based in the 21st century,they time travel in it,you should watch when you get a chance

Holly can only sustain one hologram, unless it's really funny to have two.

Originally, Lister went on a pub crawl in London, got blind drunk, and woke up penniless on Mimas. He signed up on Red Dwarf to get back home, and when he learned how long it would take for the ship to return to Earth, he smuggled a cat aboard, *intending to get caught,* so he could skip most of the trip. If I recall the story correctly, Earth did send explorer ships looking for other sentient life in the galaxy. They never found any, and the ones that made it back home caused a bureaucratic nightmare, as well as some awkward family reunions, what with time dilation and so on. Personally, I expect there *is* sentient life out there, and the chances of ever meeting them are rediculous. Religion has inspired some impressive art and architecture, but... yeah. The irony is, Jesus, I like. Son of god or schizophrenic, if he thought he was saving people, he died a hero. Christians, on the other hand, are a depressingly mixed bag. I've always said, if you want to be a good christian, follow the example of Christ. If they can't do that, they should stop pretending.

I freely admit, I sing the little fishy song whenever I put fish and chips in the oven. As for the food situation in general, the ship is five miles long, three miles wide, and most of its space is used for cargo. There's probably powdered milk in there somewhere. Water would be far more important, but I wouldn't be surprised if ice could be mined from the asteroid.

I’m guessing you’ve only been to Margate or Brighton if you’ve only seen pebbles on beeches. And St Michaels mount has a causeway not a bridge. Landsend is beautiful if you knocked down the theme park

It's important for holograms to keep doing the things they did in life so they don't go nuts... I think? It's been a few decades, I'm no longer sure. But he's a hologram, he has no mass; so no, he wouldn't feel that much hair. He can only see it or touch it. That said, continuity isn't the show's biggest concern, and physics can take a back seat for the sake of a joke, so.
