I love the show Fawlty Towers staring John Clease. What I did not realise was that some of the events in the show actually happened, with the hotel manager telling Clease and the rest of the Monty Python crew how to hold knives, and thowing a briefcase over a wall because he thought that it was a bomb. I kid you not.

Now comes news that the hotel is undergoing a refit and is about to reopen after more than 1 million pounds spent on it. Prunella Scales who played the wife of Basil Fawlty in the show is actually going to be openning the hotel on September 18 in the UK.

Also, ‘The Chasers War On Everything’ is in hot water again over a skit at the football last night. Chas Licciardello was filming a prank at last night’s NRL clash in Sydney between the Bulldogs and St George-Illawarra where he was selling a fake Canterbury kit, containing fake knuckle dusters, balaclavas and the like. Most people thought that this was funny or ignored it, although some people got upset causing police to be involved. The comedian has now been charged with offensive conduct and will soon have to appear in court…
