David Walliams would love to work with John Cleese on Fawlty Towers
msn.comDavid Walliams would love to work with John Cleese on 'Fawlty Towers'. The ex ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ judge is keen to get cast in the reboot of the much-loved '70s sitcom about the hilarious trials and tribulations of a hapless hotelier on the Devon coast, and he insisted the ‘Monty Python’ icon “can do no wrong”.
The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre TV column quotes the 51-year-old funnyman as saying: “To my mind the man can do no wrong, so if he wants to revive Basil Fawlty, then let him do it, and I would work with him in a heartbeat. ” David admitted that if he made ‘Little Britain’ - the sketch show he co-created with Matt Lucas, 49 - nowadays it would have to be done “differently”, but he still adores shows and films that are more edgy with their humour.
He said: “You could do Little Britain now, but you could do it differently. My son’s into a lot of comedy films like ‘Anchorman’, ‘Borat’, ‘Austin Powers’.
God, I love these, I laugh my head off at all of them. “I look at all those things. I’m not sure you could do them, but you’d get criticism for it. ” The news of the ‘Fawlty Towers’ revival was confirmed back in February with John working in collaboration with his daughter Camilla Cleese, Rob Reiner and his Castle Rock production company.
