Basil Fawlty beating the car is one of the most memorable scenes from the BBC classic Fawlty Towers. Here John Cleese talks about the technical difficulty of producing such a fantastic comedy moment; it's all about the bendiness of the branch, apparently!

Do I detect allusions to Buddhist wisdom here? 1) John Cleese is a Buddhist 2) There is a Buddhist story about how Buddha ponders the musician who produces beautiful music by making sure the strings of her instrument are not too tight, and not too slack 3) I can't see how the floppiness of the stick would make any difference to how funny this scene is. In fact I bet they probably did it in a single take.

Wonder what Basil would do in the "oughts" with a computer that froze up?

It's funny cuz the branch stil has leaves on it. A barren branch wouldn't be as good.

Ha, maybe! In Europe Fords are cool foreign cars . . . like Peugot or Renault here!

Is that why Ford Europe makes profit, and in America they are allmost broke?
