Fawlty Towers: John Cleese to revive series with daughter Camilla

A new series of #FawltyTowers sounds fantastic on one hand, but on the other hand I'm afraid it can never be as good as the original 12 episodes.

"I've watched the first two seasons so many times I have lost count."

Yup, so have I. Still absolutely brilliant after all those years.

The character of Fawlty was the archetypal Brexiter. He says in the "Germans" episode that he voted against going in.

True. Choleric, hates foreigners, bristling with mutually contradictory beliefs.

It is so incredibly annoying that some TV productions use cameramen with parkinson's disease. How difficult can it be to fix a camera, so that you get a steady shot?

No, it does not make it more real to have a camera shake all the time, it's bleeding annoying it is!

I remember seeing the early episiodes of Modern Family, some scenes were so wobbly that I almost got nausea.

If they have to jiggle the camera to involve you, then the material can't be very good. A similar thing that annoys me is showing high, precarious places. Why? To get my heart beating?

Good material turns bad if it's presented in an awful way.

This is why I only watch shows filmed in Hawaii. They cannot disappoint - as long as they show the scenery.

NCIS Hawaii sucks though. Can't stomach that one.

@Jelv 🎴 Software can only make it a bit more difficult to share. I can share anything I can read, it's as simple as that. Once something is out on the Internet, it's out of your control.

@Jelv 🎴 Hmm, curious... I seemed as if I could easily share that PM, but it turns out blank :thinking:

So that would mean I'd have to copy-paste it, or share a screenshot.

Those James Bond films aren't really my cup o'tea, but some of the music is really good. This one in particular, this is one of the very few CD singles I ever bought. Haven't seen it for years, but thankfully there's the Internet:

Sheryl Crow - Tomorrow Never Dies

It's so deadly my dear...
