Yes, that was a disgusting episode. The two idiots should have been dismissed from ever appearing on any BBC programme again.

R.I.P. Andrew.

Very sad, RIP Andrew.

 

[Lazarus]

He has finally left behind his brother and five mothers and the filigree Siberian Hamster has escaped.

RiP

Corrected, they brought the broadcast industry into disrepute by breaking fundamental codes of practice. Their attempt at 'humour' is part of a more serious number of infractions which are undergoing further investigation, the progress of many suspiciously being 'erased' from the internet.

Another 2016 victim. Good thing there ain't much left of it...

RIP Manuel.

And remember - I know nothing.

RIP Andrew
Brought so much joy worldwide.
I still have the Fawlty Towers Video cassettes in VHS.

 

[Lazarus]

Ours degraded, but we now have them on DVD, so they've just emerged near the top of the pile for viewing.

I only have 6 episodes on old VHS tapes the others have been borrowed but not returned to me

Gourmet Night
Waldorf Salad
The Kipper and the Corpse

If these are the ones that were not returned, then I apologize for keeping them.
You are welcome to have them, as I am going to clear out all my VHS cassettes soon.

 

[william-1]

They are the 2 that I have,
Copied them to DVD & will dump most of my VHS tapes soon,
I got rid of 300+ audio cassette tapes last year

How did you manage to copy to DVD in spite of Macrovision?

My 1st edition VHS copies were not encrypted
I think they only started to encrypt VHS tapes in the 80's.
