From reading the Monty Python book, I know that John Cleese was actually a rather conservative man. But I'd still hoped there would be some funnies between the dialogue in the scripts.

I think I spotted two.

That is not to say this wasn't fun to read. I enjoyed watching the show on DVD immensely, and reading it in written form is just as enjoyable. I wouldn't recommend anyone read this rather than see the show, though. It's a wonderful companion to the series, but if you haven't seen or heard Basil Fawlty himself, reading him isn't going to do him justice.
