The "best" one was the classroom based comedy where the entire programme was based around laughing at Johnny Foreigner and his/her attempts to learn the language.

Yes, but you have to admit you lot do talk funny.

Also, it was one of the few comedy programmes of that era that didn't take the p1ss out of the Irish.

Only Fools and Horses included several used othe word [insert racist term for asians] in referring the owner of the loca corner shop.

It makes me sad that they removed one of the best jokes in Fawlty Towers simply because it uses verboten language.
