To still after all these years find Fawlty Towers funny

[whitesandstorm]

They've been showing the series on Gold I think. It's still funny, unlike lots of comedy from years ago. Just watched the one with the rat and the health inspector. So funny. Anyone not find it so?

"...Right, right. Well, stay where you are because, obviously, if there was a fire, you'd all be standing down here like this in the lobby, wouldn't you? I mean, why do we bother? We should let you all burn."

As his voice gets more and more shrill

And of course the famous "take it easy" scene, on Basil's realisation that there is a psychiatrist in the hotel:

Basil: "Nothing's got into me, I'm just saying take it easy!! All of us, take it easy!!" (with increasing mania) "I mean, can't I say 'take it easy' without starting a panic?!?!?"
Terry (cheerfully): "Mr Fawlty, take it easy."
