John Cleese on what's changed in comedy

Does the Fawlty Towers star think things have changed over the years?

Fawlty Towers was perhaps the most famous sitcom British television has ever produced. Just 12 episodes 40 years ago and it's never been bettered. And now John Cleese, the man who starred in it and helped create it and once said he'd never work for the 麻豆社 again, is about to appear in another sitcom - 'Hold the Sunset' - with Alison Steadman. In this podcast we ask him... what took so long?
