[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 444286, member: 5079"] Here is a [URL='http://express.co.uk/celebrity-news/2240364/john-cleese-devastating-split-fawlty-towers-wife']partial answer[/URL], at least; from a recent interview with Connie Booth: "On its 50th anniversary, I’d like to take the opportunity to get something straight. John wrote the dialogue. Before that dialogue was written, he and I developed the plots. Each episode took about a month to contrive. Out of the ridiculous complications of farce, his brilliant lines emerged. For half a century, I’ve been receiving praise for lines which John wrote. When people quote back words from the script, instead of flattered, I felt counterfeit. I’ve had to say, 'No, John wrote that.'" Added to my queue! [/QUOTE]
