PeterRS Posted 12 hours ago Posted 12 hours ago While we focus in The Beer Bar on the death of the Swedish actor from Death in Venice, another popular actor has passed away, one who excelled in a totally dfferent genre. Asked to name the most famous TV comedy series of the 1970s, most will probably name Fawlty Towers with the dithering, accident-prone John Cleese trying to manage a small hotel. Partnering him was Prunella Scales as his much more practical wife, Sybil. A consummate actress, she was 93 and had been suffering from dementia for many years. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the airing of the first Fawlty Towers series. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cjd0yn5gyndo Gottab 1 Quote
