While the popular opinion generally favours the 1971 adaptation of the book I would argue that this is the far better adaptation.

First of all many people falsely call this version a 'remake' and the 1971 film the 'original' this is completely incorrect they are both adaptations of the same book Charlie and the Chocolate factory by Roald Dahl released 1964.

This movie is by far the best adaptation of the original book the movie stays true to the source material and more importantly to the nature of the characters Roald Dahl despised the 1971 film due to its mischaracterisation of several key characters and it's variations from the original this version however had Dahl's wife oversee the process and she made sure that this could be an adaptation he would be happy with.

That is all there is too it no comedy comes close to matching the sheer hilarity of Fawlty Towers and I doubt any ever will every joke lands, every movement is comedic, every fine detail in the structure of this masterpiece is without flaw.

The incredible cast really showcase their talents to the maximum ability throughout the show as the plots often reach increasingly absurd scenarios while still feeling natural and grounded allowing for maximum hilarity.

Unlike many other comedy Fawlty Towers goes on no longer than it needed to avoiding seasonal rot.

Fawlty Towers is a cornerstone of British comedy and one of the best shows to have ever been aired by the BBC.
