I always used to watch this with a degree of joy and sadness, joy because it remains one of the funniest things of all time, sad because it marks the end of an era, the doors of Fawlty Towers sadly close for a final time.
Personally I find it a joyful episode, it has major laughs packed in, lots of slick dialogue, and of course that crowning scene 'would you care for a rat or..... Just the biscuits please Polly.'
The guests are hilarious, including the snob who's gander is up, and the unshakable Mr Carnegie who's utterly speechless by what he's witnessed.
Would it have been as good if it had carried on, not sure, it certainly signed off at the top.
The end of a comedy institution 10/10
