The episode called Hole is particularly amazing. Set entirely on Ferris wheel.

I'll never forget watching the Gas Man episode for the very first time in the 90s. It's pretty rare I laugh so much I struggle to breathe, but the excessive beating scene absolutely destroyed me.

Gas
is my favourite episode of Bottom but yes it's hilarious every single time.

As for Films, I'd say either Coming to America or Liar, Liar, just don't watch the horrifically butchered edits shown on ITV.

I really like watching Mall Rats and Dogma. Just the kind of films I can always through on and enjoy while I'm half watching.

This Country, not just the scarecrow episode, but the entirety of it is excellent.

True and the same goes for Fawlty Towers, I don’t think there is a bad episode

Rumack: You'd better tell the Captain we've got to land as soon as we can. This woman has to be gotten to a hospital.

Elaine Dickinson: A hospital? What is it?

Rumack: It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now.
