4.0 out of 5 stars A Lot Of Good Laughs!, 24 Aug 2000

By A Customer

�The Germans� contains the episodes �The Hotel Inspectors�, �The Germans�, and the very first episode of the show, �A Touch Of Class�.

�The Hotel Inspectors� is a classic. Really hilarious confusions develop - above all because of Basil Fawlty's prejudice and total lack of common sense, increased by his unbearable wife Sybil's well-meant 'encouragement'. A good laugh! One of the best episodes of �Fawlty Towers� ever!

�The Germans� is a somewhat overrated episode which does not come up to its reputation. All in all it's not particularly funny - things go a little TOO exaggeratedly chaotic and crazy in the end.

�A Touch Of Class�, however, is good fun. On the usual humouristic level of this show.

This video certainly is worth the money. Only regret: The bits of the interesting interview with John Cleese are placed BETWEEN the episodes which is a bit annoying, since you probably don't want to watch the interview every time you feel like laughing over �Fawlty Towers�!

5.0 out of 5 stars Let There Be Laughter!, 17 Dec 2000

By A Customer

This one of the funniest videos that I have ever seen, The Germans is an all time classic! The Germans dont like it because as Basil Fawlty says, they have no sense of humour, deserves 5 stars every time... It's a must buy for Fawlty Towers fans!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing episode!, 18 Oct 2008

By	Lewis Anderson "Delta_301" (Scotland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

You can watch this as many times as you like and still laugh! Mr/ Fawlty is back with his usual banter and chaos! In this episode, some Germans are staying at the hotel. Major isn't too impressed either. Basil's wife is in hospital with an ingrowing townail and he has the whole hotel to himself! (Uh oh!) Then he ends up in hospital after a fire at the Hotel, but manages to sneak out, and back just intime for some foreign guests arriving. I won't spoil the ending, but if you are planning on buying this, you should!
