Interesting to read all your comments. Based on scores to date, you'll have to award Waldorf Salad at least 13. That episode really is the gold standard in cringe comedy.

For my money, Prunella Scales was an even better bit of casting than Andrew Sachs - and even more important to both the basic brilliance and the long-term popularity of the show.

Enjoy the next brace!

There are so many perfect 10s in FT. The casting was nigh on perfect but you are right about Prunella Scales. I think her contribution is underestimated. Such a nuanced performance. But the show was blessed with the right actor being put into the right role.

Binge-rewatched the first series today. Scores out of 10:

Touch of Class 8; Builders 9; Wedding Party 9; Hotel Inspectors* 10; Gourmet Night 10; Germans 10.

So, yes - a high hit rate of 10s!

* My second-favourite FT episode, after Waldorf Salad.

My scores for the second series, fresh from another binge:

Communication Problems 7; Psychiatrist 10; Waldorf Salad 10; Kipper & Corpse 10; Anniversary 8; Basil the Rat 10.
