    '70's Classic to be reimagined

    No. Not Dark Side of the Moon with Roger doin' all the vocals and no Rock'n'Roll guitar solos.

    Jon Cleese and his daughter Camilla, a comic in LA are teamin' up with Rob Reiner to reboot Fawlty Towers as a father and daughter run boutique hotel.

        Unfortunately John Cleese has recently turned rather right wing. He not only writes for The Spectator but works for GB News, and holds forth about 'wokeism', 'cancel culture' and immigration. I have no time for racists and idiots, let alone paranoid ones.

          Holy moly. Here comes the racist allegations. How dare anyone have any views that differ on major issues. Must be a racist. Bad man. Heil Heil Heil Heil to the Administrative State

            Gotta admit. Enjoy watchin' GB News for shits'n'giggles. They have in no particular order

            • Nigel Farage. A frog ( Hugenots ancestry ) talkin' bollocks about Little Britain

            • Dan Wooten. Very camp Kiwi who seems obsessed with the Royals. Very triggered by Meghan Markle

            • Eamon Holmes. A wheezy, old fella. Who is good for a laugh in a Alan Partridge kinda way.

            • Isobel Webster. His offsider with the long face. Pearls clutched.

            • Mark Dolan. Dude with the weird hair.

            • Mercy Muroki. Black angry woman

            Question. Who is their audience? All so angry and brittle. Cleese will fit right in.

              I got a good chuckle out of this news when I first saw it. I love Meathead (Rob Reiner) so I found that choice particularly interesting. Here's hoping they come up with something good!

                No, he is racist. He worries about people of different races, skin colour and nationality living in "his" country. Wokeism does not exist, beyond recognising there are many issues in the world we need to pay attention to and try and address: racism, sexism, homophobia, etc.

                  Besides all the political stuff, I think some things are best left in the past with their iconic status. This can almost only temper with that status. Fawlty Towers wasn't just about Basil. Other characters were vital to the greatness of the show. Andrew Sachs, Manuel, has passed away. Connie Booth, Polly, has retired from acting (not to mention she was vital in the writing of the series) and Prunella Scales, Sybil, suffers from Alzheimer disease.

                  I think this can almost only result in disappointment.

                    Oh. I get it. We need the Administrative State to address these issues. Maybe we need another 2 trillion bureaucracy on borrowed $.

                    The majority are worried about crime, the illegal invasion , Inflation, food shortages, the cost of living, the threat of China etc. All these issues you and your fellow comrades never mention. It is emotional issues that feed the base in order to get elected.
                    Oh..I forgot climate change..We need another trillion in borrowed money for that.

                    The Left is bringing on the total collapse and decline of America.

                    Labeling people as racists that disagree with you. That is what the radical Left does

                        Yes. And I would post the same to Madbear. Always homophobia, racism, sexism always always always


                        Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

                        Sorry Mr. Holland. We are tired of being told to shutdown up by the Left. It is full resistance to their bullshit

                          I didn't realise you are of royal descent.

                            I am a commoner with commonsense. Racism sexism homophobia blah blah blah blah blah blah blah . It never ends and never will with the Left.

                            It is easier for the Administrative State to tell the African American people living in the ghetto that you are still living in squalor because of racism than to tell the truth and that is the Democratic Party and their never ending spending has created a situation of dependency that keeps them wrapped in 21st century chains.

                              I think you missed that part about Cleese being British, and the show being British. It seems that you have confused the two countries.
