"Waiter?" "I beg your pardon?" John Cleese's expression is hilarious.

Can't blame Manuel.. He did what he was told

Complete genius of Andrew Sachs as Manuel.

This is comedy writing and acting at the highest possible level.

[kevinbarnett]

One of the the best comedies ever written, played by the best actors and actresses, pure genius, thankyou for all the laughs

I think that Mr Brown from the CID liked Polly. I loved this especially when Manuel was asked to throw the old grapefruit away and all the diners (especially the gentleman who asks for a gin and orange lemon squash and a scotch and water please) stare in shock. That episode was so funny.

A smile extra is it? You’ll get one if you eat up all your sprouts 😅

I was always so confused by the grapefruit, who the hell would order half a grapefruit on a plate😂

My HOA property manager is as rude as Basil. My neighbors and I refer to him as "Basil."

You can see the sea it's over there between the land and the sky .i need a telescope to see that . well you should move closer to the sea (or prefleby in it) 😂

The way Basil acts like he's the king when he's just a shoddy hotel owner

I ran a restaurant and it wasn't far off this !!
