The news had to come from Barcelona. It was delayed by the Brexit shenanigans.

News reports say he died on the 23rd Nov. That's over a week ago, why has it only just been released?

"Crazy! Tsk! Crazy!"
"What happened, Manuel..?"
"Crazy! I tell Mrs Fawlty he climb ladder just to look at woman in room... and she go CRAZY..!"
Truly awesome. Apparently Sachs used to learn all his lines for each episode on one read through.
Cleese said they were always expecting him to slip up or corpse during filming... he never did.
We have lost a shitload of truly great people in 2016...

Well saddened by this. Did some splendid voice-overs too on documentaries if my memory serves me well.
Driven to his grave by the fear that the result of the referendum meant that he would be forced to leave the country.*

** - Prob'ly.

Reckon I've only seen the whole lot once in my life and that was years ago.
They're on Netflix, so maybe it's time I watched them all again.

Great performer in the bbc's greatest comedy.
Pure genius
RIP Manuel
Just a shame most people's recent memory of him was his interaction with the talentless twerps Jonathan Ross & Russell
Brand.

Manuel: Ah, your horse. It win! It win!
Basil Fawlty: [wanting him to keep quiet about his gambling venture] Shhh-shh-shh, Manuel. You - know - nothing.
Manuel: You ALWAYS say, Mr. Fawlty, but I learn.
Basil Fawlty: What?
Manuel: I learn. I learn.
Basil Fawlty: No-no-no-no-no.
Manuel: I get better.
Basil Fawlty: No-no. No-no, you don't understand.
Manuel: I do.
Basil Fawlty: No, you don't.
Manuel: Hey, I do understand that!
