I've heard before that he got the idea that way, I think in documentaries about it. Sadly the original Basil will be too old to appear in Four In A Bed.
I always loved One Foot In The Grave too. Considering the amount of Rowan Atkinson in your earlier post I expect you enjoined The Thin Blue Line.
Oh yes I forgot about One Foot in the Grave, the inimitable Victor Meldrew. Strangely enough I've never seen a single episode of The Thin Blue Line, can't remember why. But yes I'm a fan of Rowan Atkinson, not quite so much Mr Bean though, even though it has its moments. Blackadder is brilliant comedy though, but again the likes of Tony Robinson, Tim McInnerny, Hugh Laurie, Stephen Fry and the odd scenes with Rik Mayall, made it what it was.
PS - Mel Smith too, such a funny bloke and sadly missed.
