yes it drinks back memories, Comedy that stood the test of time.
the germans
Some Germans are staying at Fawlty Towers so don't mention the war. Basil mentioned it once but he thinks he got away with it. Only trouble is, after receiving a knock to the head rendering him even less sensitive than before, he can't stop mentioning it.
Mention Fawlty Towers to anyone and the chances are they will think of The Germans episode. Basil goose-stepping around the dining room and constantly reminding The Germans staying at Fawlty Towers of the war is probably the most memorable of many great comedy moments in Fawlty Towers. Basil is at his insensitive best (or should that be worst) but at least on this occasion he can blame a knock on the head for his behaviour! The line by Basil: “Don't mention the war!” has become one of those phrases from great British comedies that has become common usage.
Unusually, The Germans episode features some scenes that take place outside the confines of Fawlty Towers, some might say that Basil in particular should definitely have been confined to Fawlty Towers or even the nuthouse. Sybil is in hospital to have an ingrowing toenail removed and poor Basil, in visiting her, is on the receiving end of a long list of tasks to be carried out — hold a fire-drill, remind chef to scrape the mould off the Cheddar, and finally hang the moose head on the lobby wall.
The way Sybil is seeking sympathy you would think she was about to undergo major surgery but the unsympathetic Basil is having none of it, every request by Sybil is met with the usual sarcasm and the ward Sister doesn't escape the Basil treatment either. On meeting the doctor who will be removing the “little devil” that Basil would like mounted, he is clearly delighted when the doctor informs him that operation will be quite painful afterwards.
