Fawlty Towers


Fawlty Towers

Fawlty Towers is one of the best-known, and most-loved, series from the halcyon days of British comedy. It starred John Cleese as irascible Torquay hotel owner Basil Fawlty, and Prunella Scales as his domineering wife Sybil—his “little nest of vipers”. Connie Booth played Polly the dependable maid and general assistant, and last but certainly not least, little Manuel superbly played by Andrew Sachs—the tyrannized waiter from Barcelona, dogsbody and subject of frequent physical attacks by the demented Basil! Terry the Chef, played by Brian Hall, was employed for the second series. The other regular guests were the slightly senile Major Gowen (retired), and the hard of hearing old dears Miss Tibbs & Miss Gatsby. Business seldom ran smoothly at Fawlty Towers - the insults to guests were guaranteed as were the laughs for the viewers.

      The Germans

      aired: Fri, Oct 24, 1975

      Sybil is in the hospital, but has left Basil with a list of things to be done while she's out of commission; first and foremost, he's to hang the moose head in the lobby, if only to get it out of the way. Basil does this, just not very well; it falls on his head one time too many, giving him a concussion. Basil ends up in the hospital with Sybil, but sneaks out to go back to the hotel, where his head injury causes him to be more insulting towards the guests than usual.
