The inspector's monologue from 'Basil the Rat'

This episode of Fawlty Towers happens to be my favourite as well. Maybe it is the best. I especially like the inspector's monologue from 0:45. What a mixture of foodstuff and bureaucracy and black humour! I just love it.

A remarkable English-speaking animal

In the following situation comedy sketch from "Fawlty Towers", Manuel, the Spanish waiter, is cleaning up the reception of the hotel while trying to engage in an easy-going conversation with the Major. However, the conversation is somewhat hampered by the giant moose-head that has been left on the reception desk.
