  Now I have hope that one day we’ll see Vicious and Blackadder on the channel

  The most amazing thing about Basil is that he&apos;s based on a real man. It was an actual hotel the Pythons were staying at while filming on location (for Grail, I think), and he was such a nightmare that the entire troupe packed up and left for another hotel--except for John, who hung around to gather material.<br><br>Eric Idle had a story about how his case had been moved to an outside wall because the manager thought there might be a bomb in it. Why would there be a bomb in it? Well, they&apos;ve been having trouble with staff lately.

  Rick is going to thrive in this era of unstruck content. &nbsp;And I’m all here for it!

  I think what makes Basil a great character, is that he&apos;s just sympathetic enough that you almost want to root for him and see him come out on top, but still unsympathetic enough for you to laugh at him, when things go wrong for him. He&apos;s the perfect balance in that regard.

  Cleese and Booth wrote their episodes twice as long (no. of pages) as standard sitcoms, because they didn&apos;t want to pause for laughs, but still needed to fill the allotted time per episode. And they mic&apos;ed the stage and the house in such a way that they could keep going non-stop and not lose lines, or laughs. If you feel yourself breathless from laughter, this is the reason. You&apos;re not given much of a chance to catch your breath. The physical exhilaration from the comedy is much stronger because of this.

  My grandmother used to keep her handkerchiefs in her sleeve. And her bodice. And her purse. My grandmother was practically made of handkerchiefs.

  This series is nothing like Blind Wave has ever really reacted to and I&apos;m excited that they do have this opportunity to do something so different.

  I&apos;m from Catalonia, Catalan humor is called to be similar to British humor, that&apos;s why all the great British sitcoms were on Catalan TV when I was a kid: Fawlty Towers, Red Dwarf, Blackadder, The Young Ones, Monty Phyton Flying Circus....love them all!

  Cleese in his absolute prime. He&apos;s a comedy colossus throughout this entire show. Not only physical comedy rivalling Chaplin but comedic acting, delivery and timing.
