Fawlty Towers is a British sitcom produced by BBC Television and first broadcast on BBC2 in 1975. Although only twelve episodes were produced (two series with six episodes each) the programme has had a lasting and powerful legacy.

The setting is a fictional hotel called Fawlty Towers located in the seaside town of Torquay on the ‘English Riviera’ (which was where the Gleneagles hotel that inspired John Cleese was situated). The show was written by Cleese and Connie Booth, both of whom played main characters. The first series in 1975 was produced and directed by John Howard Davies; the second in 1979 was produced by Douglas Argent and directed by Bob Spiers.

In a list of the 100 Greatest British Television Programmes drawn up by the British Film Institute in 2000 that was voted by industry professionals, Fawlty Towers was placed first.[1] It was also voted fifth in the BBC’s “Britain’s Best Sitcom” poll in 2004.

Good Guys Wear Black is a 1977 action film starring Chuck Norris. This was one of the first films to feature Norris as the star. He plays John T. Booker, a former Vietnam Green Beret and a member of a group known as the Black Tigers. He is drawn into a web when members of the group start getting killed. Booker then sets out to warn surviving members around the country. The killer turns out to be a former adversary from Vietnam (Soon-Tek Oh) who was silencing the surviving members of the group before their agent, a politician (James Franciscus), gets elected to office. Too late to save the last victim in Denver, Booker kills the assassin at the airport with a spectacular flying side kick through the windscreen as the car bears down on him. He goes on to Washington, D.C., and tries to stop the politician by taking the place of his driver. Just as he finishes telling the politician, “It’s not that you deserve to die, but you don’t deserve to live,” Booker is struck from behind while driving. The limousine plunges into a river but Booker emerges as the only survivor.

Ali and Frazier met in the ring on March 8, 1971, at Madison Square Garden. The fight, known as ‘”The Fight of the Century,” was one of the most eagerly anticipated bouts of all time and remains one of the most famous. It featured two skilled, undefeated fighters, both of whom had legitimate claims to the heavyweight crown. Frank Sinatra — unable to acquire a ringside seat — took photos of the match for Life magazine. Legendary boxing announcer Don Dunphy and actor and boxing aficionado Burt Lancaster called the action for the broadcast, which reached millions of people. The fight lived up to the hype, and Frazier punctuated his victory by flooring Ali with a hard, leaping left hook in the 15th and final round. Frazier retained the title on a unanimous decision, dealing Ali his first professional loss.

American Motors achieved record sales in 1972 by focusing on quality and including an innovative “Buyer Protection Plan” to back its products. This was the first time an automaker promised to repair anything wrong with the car (except for tires) for one year or 12,000 miles (19,000 km). Owners were provided with a toll-free telephone to AMC, as well as a free loaner car if a repair to their car took overnight. One commentator has said that “[d]espite the Javelin’s “great lines and commendable road performance, it never quite matched the competition in the sales arena … primarily because the small independent auto maker did not have the reputation and/or clout to compete with GM, Ford, and Chrysler.”

On Deadly Ground is a 1994 environmental action-adventure film, co-produced, directed by and starring Steven Seagal, and co-starring in an all-star cast, Michael Caine, Joan Chen, John C. McGinley, R. Lee Ermey, Kenji Nakano, and Billy Bob Thornton in one of his early appearances. Despite holding #1 position at the box office and trying to show the dangers of pollution, it was a commercial and critical failure for being stereotypical and campy. Also, its production was controversial due to the alleged tensions between Seagal and Caine. However, in later recent years, it has gained a cult following.
