A little bit of useless trivia, but this week Fawlty Towers celebrated 30 years with a cast reunion.



However what we were really shocked to hear was that in total there had only ever been two series made - each of only six episodes each.

Twelve episodes in total - they must be the twelve most watched episodes on TV ever!

think of an integer number between 1 and 3 (not inclusive)

divide it by 0.5

multiply it by 0.5

bet you end up with a 2 !!

You were lucky.

Anything to do with blue cars with gold wheels being faster would normally earn this as we all know Black is the faster colour :-
