It's always sad when actors of our era depart this world, but I have to be honest, I am English born and Bred, but could not stand "Faulty Towers" 'Watching that show grated so much on my nerves it was like scraping your fingernails down a blackboard.
A classic bully, a whinging wife, a parrot and an Italian doormat all living in a state of chaos...
There won't be many left soon as they are all making their up the final staircase.. :(
