5.0 out of 5 stars More And More Laughs..., August 27, 2000

This review is from: Fawlty Towers, Vol. 2 - Builders/Wedding Party/Psychiatrist [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The first episode on this tape is »The Builders« which provides the average level of »Fawlty Towers« craziness & chaos climax. As usual, it is Basil Fawlty's lies who mainly cause all the trouble. Where would we be without him...

»The Wedding Party« as a story is maybe the funniest episode of »Fawlty Towers«. Just think of what situations Basil's 1920s view on sexuality, combined with his snobbish paranoia, can produce...

And »The Psychiatrist« is the episode of all »Fawlty Towers« episodes that produces the best laughs! In the beginning, it's a bit light - but the more Basil's hormones and personality in general burst out on the screen, beware! You might get a laughter stroke!

5.0 out of 5 stars Television genius, June 22, 2004

This review is from: Fawlty Towers, Vol. 2 - Builders/Wedding Party/Psychiatrist [VHS] (VHS Tape)

John Cleese once remarked that he did as much with "Fawlty Towers" in 12 episodes than Lucille Ball did in several years of "I Love Lucy". When I first heard that, I thought Cleese was being as crass as Basil Fawlty. But you know something? He came darn close.

Fawlty Towers, Volume Two, contains the episodes "Builders", "Wedding Party", and "Psychiatrist". My God, what a triple play. If comedy is the pleasure we take in watching other people's sufferings, then John Cleese wrote nothing but perfect comic scripts. "Builders" centers on Basil's constant efforts to save money which, of course, leads to constant frustration with the bumblers he winds up hiring. "Wedding Party" and "Psychiatrist" are perfect examples of Basil's inability to avoid the temptation of interfering in his patrons' affairs. And I use "affairs" quite literally.

Volume 2 of the "Fawlty Towers" series is a laugh riot. I recommend it, along with the other volumes in this series!
