    Faulty Towers proposed remake a pipe dream?

    John Cleese is a brilliant master of the spontaneous retort, perhaps redoing FT is reaching as we seniors often do when lost in the depths of reminiscing ? Should be interesting if it happens , if it fails he has a back up series about a newscaster.
