John Cleese’s Very Favorite Comedy Sketches
Asked by Time magazine to name his favorite sketches among all those he has written or performed in, John Cleese deliberately excluded most of his Monty Python work. Instead he turned deeper into his back pages, all the way to At Last the 1948 Show, which originally aired on ITV in 1967.

John Cleese Fawlty Towers
😂🇬🇧🏨💡 Timeless British Comedy Gold This isn’t just any sitcom scene — it’s Fawlty Towers at its outrageous best. Basil is showing an Australian guest to her room after a long trip 🧳. The bathroom light isn’t working 💡, and while she stretches her neck against the wall 🙆‍♀️, Basil reaches around the corner… and mistakes her breast for the light switch. 😳 At that very moment, Sybil walks in 🚪—and the chaos is pure comic perfection. 🎬 Written by John Cleese & Connie Booth, Fawlty Towers
