Connie Booth - (Fawlty Towers, Monty Python's Flying Circus) - British TV was absolutely blessed when Connie Booth moved from the US to Great Britain and enriched every show and movie she was in with her talent and absolute BEAUTY! She looks like a real life princess!
Barbara Billingsley - (Leave it to Beaver) - Look, is June Cleaver the ultimate example of the unrealistic expectations and repressive cult of domesticity that the media forced on women in post-war, pre-second wave feminism America? Yes. Does Barbara Billingsley look insanely hot mopping the floor in high-heels and a pearl necklace? Also, yes. (Sorry Betty Friedan, she just does.) To her credit, she knew it was an absurd fantasy, she was a divorced (and widowed) working mom when she landed the role of the quintessential 50s housewife. In her later years she often spoofed her image, most famously as the Jive-talking lady in Airplane! (When they revived the series in the 1980s, June became a respected member of the city council and later pursued a college degree.)

Alright people of this website, here's a question for you.......How different would the BBC show "Ghosts" be if, in an alternative universe, it went the "Fawlty Towers"-esque farcical comedy route (in your personal opinion)?
How different would the characters be and how would they be handled? How different would the storylines be? If the storylines were the same from the show, how would said plotlines be handled? I'd like to hear your thoughts on this!
(btw please reblog your answer in the tags and/or the comment section of this post. thank you 🙏)
