Two classic examples of British comedy at its best are included on this collection. RUTLES 2: CAN`T BUY ME LUNCH: When Eric Idle constructed a wacky spoof of The Beatles, dubbed them
The Rutles,
and made a hilarious mockumentary in 1978 named ALL YOU NEED IS CASH, he spawned a huge cult of eager worshipers who longed to hear more from Dirk (Idle), Nasty (Neil Innes), Stig (Ricky Fataar), and Barry (John Halsey). In 2002 The Pre-Fab Four reunited, toured America, and invited trusted interviewer Dirk McQuickly (Idle again) on the road with them. Of course we meet many of the artists whom The Rutles influenced along the way, including David Bowie, Carrie Fisher, Garry Shandling, and even Salman Rushdie, as well as further capers with the band themselves. FAWLTY TOWERS SERIES TWO: The reigning champion as Most Popular BBC Sitcom is firmly in the grasp of
Fawlty Towers.
Former Monty Python cast members Connie Booth and John Cleese created one of the most bizarre comedies of all time, wherein Basil Fawlty (Cleese) is in charge of running the Fawlty Towers hotel... into the ground. This collection includes the following titles:
Gourmet Night,
The Germans,
Communication Problems,
and
The Psychiatrist.
