Fawlty Towers, Series 1

Mr. Hutchinson:
There is a documentary on BBC2 this evening about Squawking Bird, the leader of the Blackfoot Indians in the late 1860s. Now this starts at 8.45 and goes on for approximately three-quarters of an hour.

Basil:
I'm sorry, are you talking to me?

Mr. Hutchinson:
Indeed I am, yes. Now is it possible for me to reserve the BBC2 channel for the duration of this televisual feast?

Basil:
Why don't you talk properly?

Mr. Hutchinson:
I beg your pardon?

Basil:
No it isn't.

Mr. Hutchinson:
What?

Basil:
It is not possible to reserve the BBC2 channel from the commencement of this televisual feast until the moment of the termination of its ending, thank you so much.
