Here's a couple of favourite bits which spring to mind: The horrible lady with the hearing aid demanding a better view. Basil: "What do you expect? The hanging gardens of Babyon? Herds of wilderbeest?" Basil talking about Manuel "Cheaper to train a monkey..."
And, as previously mentioned on another (purposely-though-in-vain hijacking attempted) thread, "is not rat, is Siberian hamsta!" And... Manuel: "I speek Eengliiish. I learn it fromaboook."
I kind of remember it, and thought it was hilarious. Sadly, I just searched my online TV guide and it doesn't seem to be running currently. It is available through Netflix though, and I added it to my que.
Perhaps we of such good televisual taste are a select few? What about the Waldorf Salad? Apples! Celery! Walnuts!
I LOVE this series. Brilliant when Basil has his little nervous breakdowns. Basil: Hello?... Ah, yes Mr O'Reilly, well it's perfectly simple. When I asked you to build me a wall I was rather hoping that instead of just dumping the bricks in a pile you might have found time to cement them together... you know, one on top of another, in the traditional fashion. Sybil: O'Reilly, I have seen more intelligent creatures than you lying on their backs at the bottoms of ponds. I have seen better organised creatures than you running round farmyards with their heads cut off. Now take your belongings and get out. I never want to see you or any of your men in my hotel again.
