Irony was never really lost on Basil

Spent the whole episode fawning all over them, lol

Classic Basil.

7 basil the rat
Manuel's Siberian hamster goes rogue
The major roams the hotel with a rifle while the "starling inspectors" are present.
Basil goes mad

The fake puppet for the rat is also hilarious

Not a lot in the special effects budget clearly

I can't remember which episode it is but (I think) Basil comes through to the dining room from the kitchen and you can clearly see one of the sound guys lying on the floor infront of the door

That as well as an occasional boom mic getting in a shot

6 waldorf salad

An absolute delight culminating in basil's famous "this is typical" speech

5 the hotel inspectors

Basil vs bernard cribbins

"Good afternoon gentleman, and what can I do for you three gentlemen.....aaaaarrrggghhh"

"Sssssssss spooooonsssssss!!"

"Got a bit of cheese stuck"

I think that may be my favourite, not having given too much thought. Oh no! Second favourite. My favourite will be somewhere in Rando's top 4...

Cribbins is spectacularly good in some complicated little bits and pieces. Cleese absolutely loved his performance. It's worth watching the episodes with the Cleese commentaries.

4 kipper and the the corpse

Mr leeman has the nerve to die and cause basil inconvenience
From very large ash trays, Geoffrey parmer not getting his sausages and the linen collection, it's an absolute joy

"Can I just get my hat?"

"No! No! We'll have it sent on!"

"When you said leeman, we thought you said linen"
"Brilliant!!"

This is my personal favourite episode of the 12.

Classic basil misunderstandings abound during this one.
I love it but something had to be 10th.

By the way, you know the girl (Jean, played by April Walker) in this episode? She was first choice to play Sarah-Jane Smith in Doctor Who.
Pertwee didn't approve so they went for Liz Sladen instead. Fun fact.
