Fawlty Towers Reboot update from Oct 2, 2026

Hi, first post in the group (I think). I was lucky enough to catch John Cleese at the Elgin & Winter Garden theatre in Toronto last evening for a screening of The Holy Grail, and a Q&A session with the audience after the film. Here's what he had to say on the status of the reboot.

He and Camilla had sat down with Rob and his wife, and discussed the premise, how Basil knew of a long lost daughter (the result of Basil being a very naughty boy on a trip years ago) but kept his distance to avoid the wrath of Sybil. Basil had filled his daughters head with tales of how he was such a glorious and successful hotelier. (John didn't touch on the status of Sybil in the chat) Anyway, skip ahead, his daughter buys a hotel in the Caribbean, and enlists Basils help to make it successful. They have written the first script.

Sadly, this is where he stopped, saying with the death of Rob, things with Castle Rock are sort of on hold. Then it switched into he and the host (Richard Crouse of CP24 & CTV) of the evening sharing a few Rob Reiner stories. One of which John asked Rob if he ever improvised with Janice Joplin - Rob replied "She was a really good singer" not wanting to say anything negative about the her.

Maybe this is common knowledge in the group, but it was nice to hear an update from the man himself!

John was amazing and very kind to the audience - at one point early on saying it was so nice that there were no YOUNG people there. Then about 10 minutes later a boy of I'd say 13 asked a question about the Knights who say NI! And John exploded: "HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET IN HERE?" The kid loved it as did everyone else.

I wish the entire thing was 8 hours long, to just sit and listen to the man and his stories was a dream come true.

Data from the Lakelands Public Health inspection portal. A critical infraction is one that poses an immediate health hazard; "corrected during inspection" means it was fixed while the inspector was on-site. Inspections are a snapshot of one moment — not a review of the food. Spot an error? Let me know.

▲ 660 r/Roofing

Just a question, nothing to do with me - is this ok?

UPDATE: Building Inspector emailed back, said everything is fine...?
Hi - just a question out of ignorance, new build behind me, but they are putting what look like standard shingles directly on the board? I thought they needed tar paper or something to make it safe. Again - just a question from ignorance I am sure they know what they are doing. ONTARIO, CANADA

▲ 2 r/epicor

We've been using a Windows 2000 Remote Desktop server ( yeah yeah i know ) to host Epicor sessions (11.2.300) for the warehouse handhelds, with this new version coming out, are warehouse staff supposed to use Chrome on the guns to navigate Kinetic? I can't see this going over well with a segment of staff who traditionally do not like change...... Not being mean, but you guys know what I mean.
