Yeah I'm not entirely convinced about this either It was one of the best sitcoms ever when it was made, there's no way this is going to live up to that especially when John Cleese seems to have regrettably joined the ranks of 'elder celebrities who don't know when to keep their mouths shut'.

Not a fan of this either. Not even sure how it's going to work, it seemed to say it's Basil/John Cleese coping in the modern world, well it's not Fawlty Towers then is it, it's a spin off. How much money must they have offered for him to do it? I feel this will be a bit like when they did Blackadder Back and Forth?

Seems to be a negative reaction all round to this.

I do think that this is a classic comedy partly because there were only a few episodes made, and not in spite of the fact. Therefore I have grave reservations about a remake.

I can just see the numerous episode sub plotlines now ...
1. Trans guest who confuses Basil with their pronouns. 2. Earnest young environmental activist who complains about the hotelβs carbon footprint. 3. Muslim guest who asks Basil if the food is halal and where the qibla is. 4. Health and Safety inspectors! 5. Vegan guest asks for oat milk and Basil starts shouting. Ends with him hilariously pantomiming milking an oat. 6. A wedding party could include a gay couple who want to share a room! 7. There could be communication problems with a woman because she wears a hijab! 8. A police officer could seem like an oik because he has tattoos and piercings! 9. A guest could die after eating sushi!
The possibilities (of woke bashing) are endless!
This makes the Father Ted reboot idea floated a few years ago of having Father Dougal becoming Pope (after a picture of the late Father Ted fell down off the mantelpiece and hit Dougal on the head making him unconscious, but then when he came around he became a portal of great wisdom ... and eventually becomes Archbishop of Dublin) seem like a brilliant idea....

βEnds with him hilariously pantomiming milking an oat.β That has made me laugh so much! Probably more than the reboot will.

Loved the original 13 episodes of series and 2 but a reboot of this would not work given the humour would now have to be tamed down from before. No manuel, no mrs fawlty or Polly. Nah it wont work, Definitely the wrong decision by John Cleese. He is quite capable of writing something new.
