Just seen this take on the Fawlty Towers non-starting car bit. Love the very last bit.

A stress management course was run at our work and they used the original clip as part of the intro. Very funny and Cleese insisted in filming it with different types and sizes of branch- they picked the best one when editing.

Decent

Although I thought he had got into the wrong car to start with. We have all done that.

On my driving test! Completely wrong colour BSM Metro although to be fair, my instructor did change colour just before the test.

Just seen it. Very good

Although I still prefer the one where the farmer shears his dog instead of a sheep.

Like the advert. Spec savers marketing department have come up with some great adverts, the space shuttle landing at Luton being my favourite.

It thought he'd put on a bit of weight in the ad. A classic reprised, not too bad I suppose.

Surely he doesn't need a dime? Having said that he's been divorced 3 times.

I still think that the Specsavers ad featuring Suarez with a picture of Chiellini and an"x" and canneloni and a tick was the best - certainly the quickest. I did try to post the picture but something went wrong

Essential to find and use the correct type of branch.
