DVD commentary to listen to part 4

John Cleese's commentary on the Fawlty episode The Psychiatrist offers us some interesting facts and thoughts. Cleese had his friend Nicky Henson (whose death was announced this week) play the role of a Lothario who Basil id obnoxious to beuse he feared that some who did not know him would take offence. The scene where Sybil lists her mothers large number of phobias was inspired by Cleese's own mother. Cleese expresses his admiration for the actor playing the titular character as due to an injury he had suffered before the episode went into production had to work through great pain. Cleese also admits to taking a fancy to 3 female guest stars. Worth a listen to hear the thoughts of a comic genius.
