From Grease and Fawlty Towers to Mad Men: Deirdre O'Kane picks her favourites
Deirdre O'Kane.
As a kid, the only shows on telly I remember are what my parents were watching. I remember my father howling at Fawlty Towers. I was intrigued at the amount of laughter coming out of him. I couldn’t make him laugh like that. I was thinking: what about this show is so funny? I didn’t get it because I was too young, but I got pleasure out of watching him laughing at it. “I know nothing! I come from Barcelona.” That was one of his regular quotes if you asked him anything.
