Fawlty Towers - The O'Reilly scenes (S01E02 - The Builders)

Classic scenes from the second-ever episode of Fawlty Towers, featuring the late David Kelly.

[Stargreened]

Love the way O'Reilly slipped into the bar and managed to pour himself a free Guinness while Basil was arguing with Sybill.
Brilliant!

David Kelly what a wonderful Irish actor

[knick]

“If you are not here in 20 minutes with my door I will come over there and insert a large garden gnome in you. Good day” Favourite line from Basil

[rock]

I couldn't imagine any else portraying o'reilly than wilfred brambell of steptoe and son but david kelly did it with such ease and pomp and man who can forget the "smile", Rip mate you are sorely missed in this world, cheers

[SJMJ]

"If the Good Lord.."
".. is mentioned once more, I shall move you closer to him." 😂 Too funny!

[tonypap]

“BASIL”
The way Cleese freezes in terror at Sybil’s fury is acting genius.

[garyhosty]

"Not Brilliant ? he belongs in a zoo" love it and I am Irish.

When I saw an episode of Fawlty Towers for the first time I couldn't believe that something so brilliant was even possible. I had trouble falling sleep for having laughed so much.

I love when John says oh don't smile

[UncensoredScion]

"Oh don't smile!" while covering his face and turning away, it's tiny, it's barely a moment in the scene and is immediately eclipsed by Sybil beating the ever living hell out of O'Reily but damn does it set it up perfectly. It'a so well timed it's insane.

O’Reilly, Mrs Richards, the major, Ken Campbell in the anniversary, Bernard Cribbins some of the great actors who appeared.The funniest tv show ever by a mile.

Love how right at the end, he leaves the hotel with the gnome HAHAHA

[dominicwalshe]

"You've heard of the genius of the lamp"

[emiliomanueldepedro]

For the kids who grew up with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, if you ever wondered how Grandpa Joe looked like in his 40s, this is your answer.

[arthurwebber-gl]

I love it. I love it. I love it. Why oh Why can't this sort of stuf be on TV today.

[skbghrp]

David Kelly, brilliant in Waking Ned Devine.

"If the good lord." "Is mentioned once more I shall move you closer to him."
