Episode three opens with the 'Fawlty Towers' titles, followed by John Cleese ( as himself ) telling someone on the phone that the hit series is finally over. He then suggests a 'tatty revue' take its place. This was not Cleese's only cameo this year. He also appeared in Tom Baker's 'Doctor Who' as a snobby art critic. Among the sketches is 'National Launderette Week' ( as Chris Langham explains what it entails his eyes swivel round and round as though they are studying a washing machine in its spin cycle ), a gory item about a hospital organs department ( run by Mel Smith ), Langham as the world's first pregnant man, a send-up of the problematic arts show 'Maelstrom', and 'The Restricted Practices Suite', in which a group of people play a piano one key at a time. Griff Rhys Jones appears as a man trying to enter a posh restaurant wearing nothing but a tie.
Funniest moment - the Jimmy Carter campaign ad, Back in the day, the former peanut farmer was regarded as a joke ( little did we know how much worse his successors would be ).
