Minnie Caldwell (née Carlton) was an elderly widow who resided at 5 Coronation Street with her beloved pussycat Bobby from 1962 to 1976. She was a fixture in the Rovers Return snug along with fellow pensioners Ena Sharples and Martha Longhurst. A gentle, simple-minded woman, Minnie appeared docile next to her overbearing companions, and tended to be bossed around by them.

One of the funniest and most enduring sitcoms ever made continues to have inspire fans almost 40 years after it was first broadcast. Nathan Feist has painstakingly recreated the famous Fawlty Towers hotel out of LEGO. He included such precise details as the reception desk, the broken-antlered moose head, the fire extinguisher and even the design of the lobby’s tiling. Originally Feist had planned to build the set of Number 6’s apartment from The Prisoner or the combat information center from Battlestar Galactica but, as these had either been built or the LEGO parts were not available, opted instead for the Fawlty Towers set. Nathan’s incredible homage was exhibited at BrickFair Virginia–-an annual LEGO convention—held in July and August. If you’re a fan of Fawlty Towers or even all things LEGO, then you might enjoy this little tribute video from a few years back. H/T The Poke and Metro
