I have both. The 'joke' wasn't funny, imo, but Sachs probably just thought they were silly lads making crude comments about his stripper granddaughter, quite right as well, but I  doubt that it had much affect on him at all. Move on...

Basil: No. Do you have a copy? I'll read it out in court!



Manuel: I say to man in shop "Is rat." He say "No, no, no. Is a special kind of hamster. Is filigree Siberian hamster." Only one in shop. He make special price: only five pound.
Basil: Have you ever heard of the bubonic plague, Manuel? It was very popular here at one time. A lot of pedigree hamsters came over on ships from Siberia.

Just 12.  Sadly Mrs Fawlty has dementia, I believe.  'Basil' has been given a good kicking by the media for recently stating he wished his ex-wives were all dead - non-painfully, to give him credit.  Almost afraid to ask how Connie Booth is doing.

Remember how well and dignified he was during the whole thing with Russell Brand, saying how bemused he was and how didn't hold anything against him. Seemed a very humble man.

Although they only made 12 episodes, I still think he is one of the more well loved and memorable British comedy characters (or Spanish).
