John Cleese cut N-word from Fawlty Towers revival because people ‘don’t understand irony’

The problem is John that most people who have seen your outbursts (frequent) of bigotry and hatred would not believe you were being ironic. If Conny #Booth (who co-wrote it and by some account there was not much co) had said the same thing we might have believed the statement

@Wen exactly. He’s just a nasty old man, and always was

@anathema_device We have two cats. One, the black one was a 'self rescue’ - he turned up at the door one very bad snowy night when I came back with our old terrier from a walk and dashed inside to the fire and the terriers bed (he was an accepting old boy) and just stayed. He frequently tracked us on short walks (a couple of miles), occasionally coming over to check all was well. He doesn't with the Collie as walks are much longer but still frequently waits where he thinks we will emerge.

@anathema_device not enough coffee! Cleese makes me think of the less salubrious rats the cats occasionally bring out of the barn on the farm next door though…
