Fawlty Towers The Kipper and the Corpse

I am posting some favourite comedy shows. Perhaps some of my American friends may not know these in which case they are in for a real treat.
All twelve episodes are from the highly acclaimed Fawlty Towers series, the first of which we affectionately nicknamed "The Dead Body" but its correct title is The Kipper And The Corpse. I love this series so much I could almost recite all twelve episodes off by heart. I had three bites of the cherry. When the series first appeared we had Basil Fawlty TV parties, when my daughter was young and she loved them and finally when my son was introduced to them with equal enthusiasm.

Play this for the first part


Then play this for the second part


Then play this for the final part

Hope you enjoyed them

Mr Bean - Getting up late for the dentist

Do we all know Mr Bean?

I saw this hilarious post of Rowan Atkinson playing Mr Bean when he overslept for a dental appointment. He left himself no time at all to get ready and he had to get dressed whilst driving his Mini car.

Rod Stewart is singing about Maggie May again

Rod Stewart Is Fabulous And I Never Realised It

I saw an ITV Concert recently when Rod Stewart did a one night only performance.
It blew me away - never before did I even consider him to listen to his music. He is a born showman and performer and as a rock singer is fabulous. I was rivetted to the TV and I am a classical music man!

Could not record it but I found this famous performance in the Albert Hall 2004 of him singing Maggie May with his mate Ronnie Woods, lead guitarist of the Rolling Stones.

Obviously my sister must have made an impression on him in her distant past.
