Only 12 episodes made but will live with me for the rest of my life.
It's a sign of the times that this type of comedy & these caricatures would not be acceptable in today's PC world!!
I heard on Radio 4 that Andrew Sachs was reluctant to play the part or doubted if he was capable of pulling the accent off. He asked John Cleese if he could use a few props like the heavy moustache, waiters jacket and tea towel across his arm to assist in the challenge.
What he produced was comedy genius!
Apparently he was a genuine guy who was very humble and unassuming.
RIP Andrew! Top man
