Category: Fawlty Towers

Fawlty Towers is a classic British television sitcom created and written by John Cleese and Connie Booth. Originally broadcast on BBC Two for just two series in 1975 and 1979, it is widely regarded as one of the greatest comedies ever made. Set in a dysfunctional hotel in the seaside town of Torquay, it stars John Cleese as the rude and high-strung owner Basil Fawlty, alongside Prunella Scales as his bossy wife Sybil, Connie Booth as the sensible waitress Polly, and Andrew Sachs as the hapless Spanish waiter Manuel. The series follows Basil’s frantic and farcical attempts to run a “high-class” establishment while being constantly thwarted by his own incompetence and short temper. #sitcom #uk #tv #comedy
