150 - Fawlty Towers
This week we review - Fawlty Towers (Series 1 Episode 1)
Fawlty Towers, a 22-room hotel located in Torquay, the centre of the 'English Riviera', is a den of mishap and disaster.
Basil Fawlty, owner and manager of the hotel, is a man of infinite capability in impoliteness, caustic intolerance and general rudeness toward the guests he views as an unwelcome imposition.
His wife, Sybil, is of a more practical demeanour, but seems to have an immunity to work, so the running of the hotel is often left to waitress, maid, and all-round help Polly.
Meanwhile, Spanish waiter and porter Manuel is still struggling to adjust to life working for the outrageous and unpredictable Basil Fawlty.
Written by John Cleese & Connie Booth
Produced by John Howard Davies and Douglas Argent
Directed by John Howard Davies and Bob Spiers
A BBC Production.
