Starring: John Cleese, Connie Booth, Andrew Sachs, Prunella Scales
Genres: Comedy
Visible crew/equipment: When Basil enters the "Private" room, the camera is reflected on the glass door pane.
Suggested correction: This is way too vague to be accurate. The office (which has private on both doors) is visited by Basil on innumerable occasions throughout this episode and so needs to be more precise.
The Builders - S1-E2
Deliberate mistake: When Basil is arguing with Polly and eventually decides to call O'Reilly, he trips over the gnome. However when we see Basil come out from behind the desk, he takes the gnome out of a side gap in the desk, perfectly out of reach of Basil tripping over it. (00:14:30)
Basil the Rat (a.k.a. Rats) - S2-E6
Trivia: Melody Lang, who plays Mrs. Taylor in this episode, is Andrew Sachs' wife.
Question: When Polly is laying in bed disguised as Mrs Fawlty, was that really Prunella scales playing that part? I was wondering as Polly as a more thinner face than Sybil and could never have really got away with it.
Chosen answer: Indeed it is Polly. She has stuffings in her mouth to pretend she is swollen.
