Thor 7,478 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Sorry to hear it. FAWLTY TOWERS was one of my favourite comedy shows as a kid -- one of several British series we imported and embraced here in Norway, and 'Manuel' was a core part of that. I don't think I ever saw him in anything else, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Sachs' Manuel was a brilliant comic foil for the notoriously tightly strung Basil Fawlty. His nervous eagerness and linguistic inability to grasp what was going on often exasperating "poor" Basil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melange 446 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Sachs had a fine voice for narration, probably his most wide reaching work (narration for countless documentaries, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,507 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 I've never seen the appeal of FAWLTY TOWERS. There's a deep sadness at the centre of it, that stops me from truly liking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 That makes me love it, actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,233 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 The show probably wouldn't work without it. Because Basil Fawlty, despite being a snob, arrogant, rude, a liar and schemer...you do kinda feel for him when things once again dont go his way.
