Am really enjoying it. Thanks. I think Fawlty Towers is a great example of how you can build crisis upon crisis and it becomes funnier and funnier. But I think you have to have the audience in with the characters in the first place -- liking them, or caring about them before you can take them on the journey to hell. Fascinating discussion. Am really enjoying it. Thanks.
