I often wonder how much John Cleese put up his blood pressure filming these episodes. |

[quote name=OneSparePart post=16243]This is the excruciating side of funny.[/quote Cringe comedy at its best. Has it ever been bettered? 'Not Going Out' still ploughs that furrow, often with a reasonable measure of success. The king is perhaps alan partridge. The king of cringe not GB.... Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

Warm nights they have in Torbay - the front doors are wide open again. Do the hotels in the Lake District shut their doors early to keep out intruders? |

Hotel Inspectors is my second-fave FT episode. I love the way they double down on the old 'mistaken identity' staple. |
