DR> You would never know.
How about a cyclops?
DR> Now that's interesting. Such programmes as Fawlty Towers seem to DR> translate well into other languages, but I don't know if foreign DR> audiences laugh at the same content as we do.
I think it depends on how well a population does with 'English' because one cannot translate Fawlty Towers ... I've seen it in French and in Spanish ... horrible ... But the whole of Scandinavia, the Netherlands, Flanders are doing pretty well ... I have my doubts about Germany and the "Don't mention the war" bit ... I'm not certain how well that was received there ...
Even in Scotland they catch the humor.
Unfortunately, I was given theatre tickets to a John Cleese show and the way it was he was just reading texts from giant auto-queues and the audience just sat there, staring, politely clapping while wondering "Is this the grand John Cleese from Monty Python?" ... you could see him die on stage ...
DR> The Two Ronnies' humour is almost entirely to DR> do with the subtlety of the English language with very little slapstick. DR> Morecambe and Wise ..... well, their humour is really to do with the DR> absurd but with very little subtlety. Perhaps that's why you haven't DR> heard of either of them because they don't travel well.
The Two Ronnies, I confess ... I do know them after all, are for the English market ... Fawlty Towers was backed by years of Monty Python on TV and the succes of the films like "The life of Brian" ... Monty Python was a sellable product.
DR> Sorry, must get back to Wimbledon. (Now, do I mean that I am going to DR> Wimbledon or am I simply going to watch more tennis on the television?)
