It can hardly be debated the Brit have produced the best sit coms of all time. Porridge, Fawlty Towers, Bread, Dad's Armed forces, Only Fools & Horses....So how will this nation keep on manufacturing the goods? Well we all actually had a giggle at the ghastly Basil Fawlty, who had hopes of wealth, but had little cash. He was obsessive about standing and being seen as being higher class. But he was simply a horrible, sexually frustrated, restrained, hen pecked twit.
John Clesse of Monty Phython celebrity was great as the personality. He was wonderful at the physical comedy. Fawlty was such a physical slapstick show, and all 6Ft 5 inches of John Cleese was stretched to funny proportions.
The British are always looked upon as a reserved repressed calm national, obsessed with class and status. It all potentially harks back to the empire days. Cleese was incredible in playing the stiff top lip hopeful twit, who always slipped flat on his face. That's why we all giggled so hard, we wanted him to fall from his over inflated cloud.
It seems all of the underlying stress in UK manners has being brilliant portrayed in characters like Basil. You always rejoice when they break out of their imprisioned emotional state and burst into rage. Then you've got the characters of Delboy and Rodney Trotter in Only Fools and Horses. Once more we've got the tale of down at heal UK voters who dream of riches and a better life.
It might be hard not to fall head over heels in love with Delboy who always chipper regardless of what scrapes he gets himself into. He's a wheeler dealer with an enchanting side. Once more we have got a social class comedy, that sees it's main characters battling for class, social standing and wealth, and almost all of the time failing badly. That's why these characters are so funny. They seem real, and doubtless are as they embody the main British endowments, even tho in a hammed up way.
