Boa was no American

When I first saw this episode I (being an American) wondered just what they were playing at. He may fool non-Americans but I doubt that any of us would be taken in. (In a way it's like the phoney Aussie accents on Month Python; people that weren't familiar with authentic Aussie accents were probably fooled; real Aussies weren't.

I notice from his credits that he made a career of playing Americans, which says something for British production values.

The only Brit I can recall who would have fooled me completely had I not known better was Sid James in "Orders Are Orders" in which he played a big-mouthed movie producer.

In an interview shortly before his death in 2004, Bruce Boa discussed how confident he was John Cleese and Connie Booth would offer him the role. Says Boa, "When I went to the audition and read the script I told them right away there was no one else in England who could play the part. I handed the script back to them with the letters NAR written all over it - 'No Acting Required'. Mr. Hamilton was me."

Patzer
According to the dialogue, The Hamiltons arrived at the hotel by car, having driven five hours from London. However, when Harry Hamilton decides to make an early departure following the dinner fiasco, he calls for a taxi. If the couple arrived by a car they drove themselves, then presumably it would still be parked outside. Calling for a taxi to leave the hotel doesn't make sense.

Zitate
Mr. Hamilton: What I'm suggesting is that this place is the... the crummiest, shoddiest, worst-run hotel in the whole of Western Europe.
Major Gowen: No! No, I won't have that! There's a place in Eastbourne.
