I really couldn’t be less interested. Anyone, in the public eye or out of it, takes a risk when they cheat on a partner. If they are in the public eye then the public will probably get to know. After all that’s what the rag-sheets are for, isn’t it?Peddling the juicy stories on the famous because that’s what their millions of readers want to read.

I think I can picture the scene…………

More specifically it was based on a hotel in Torquay where the Pythons stayed whilst filming. The owner was the model for Basil and later he was so incensed by it he tried to sue Cleese.

Don’t know why I never thought of that – the fact that they were never repeated, I suppose. Anyway, thanks, and I have located several choices on Amazon, so it won’t be long before they are on my DVD player. This is a GOOD forum, isn’t it? 😀

“Ripping Yarns” is something of a “hidden gem” of British TV comedy.

“Golden Gordon” is an absolute classic. 🙂

Absolutely, and I if I am not mistaken, never repeated, except a year or so after the original broadcasts. Now I would clear my diary to see a run of those on BBC4. I had the books of scripts some years ago but I fear they vanished in a house move.
