Charters and Caldecott
Charters and Caldicott are amongst film history's most famous and favourite comedy duo. Full of English idiosyncrasies, Charters and Caldicott represent a bygone era of the 1930's and 1940's. These two English gentlemen are happy being English, have a love of cricket and are sticklers for upholding proper standards of dress, decorum and behaviour.
Fawlty Towers
Fawlty Towers is a British Sitcom produced by the BBC which ran from 1975 to 1979. The British Film Institute declared it the Best British television programme ever made, in 2000. It is one of the jewels in the crown of British comedy. Although it only ran for two seasons, a total of 12 episodes, it withstands multiple viewings and is eminently quotable thanks to the sharp writing of John Cleese and Connie Booth.
