Fawlty Towers is a British sitcom made by the BBC and first broadcast on BBC2 in 1975. Only twelve episodes were ever produced, but the series has had a lasting and powerful influence on later shows. The show is set in a fictional hotel Fawlty Towers in the Devon town of Torquay on the “English Riviera”. The series was written by John Cleese and Connie Booth, both of whom played main characters, and was broadcast in two series: the first, in 1975, was produced and directed by John Howard …

Sybil: “Can I help?”
Basil: “Yes, go and kill yourself!”
He would save himself so much trouble by just admitting certain things… “I’m sorry, our chef is temporarily unavilable tonight, here is the new temporary menu for tonight” instead of trying to cover absolutely everything up.
The outside shots of Andre’s restaurant were actually filmed in Preston Road in Wembley . . . the classic “damned good thrashing” scene was filmed a mile or so away in Mentmore Close in Harrow. Both were about 200 miles away from Torquay!
hahaa “there’s a hair in my soup!” –classic!
Yes, it would be in summer.
Yeah and also when Basil is trying to get his car to start you can see a crew member’s shadow on the right hand side of the windscreen giving him cues.
Still hilarious no matter how many times you’ve seen it!
well spotted
Love how he always says:
‘Sorry he’s from Barcelona!’
Great! check out 3.38 and 3.46. I you can see a meember of the production team hiding behind the door. HaHahA!
awesome!!!!
Basil drops the duck because of the BBC employee hiding behind the dining room door. You see him at 3.46 as well!
My fav episode. Class.
Hitting the car with the branch haha!
I love it when prunella scales corpses…when john cleese rifles through trifle!
‘More sauces!’
IM reporting you… to whatever report system is on youtube. Never used it myself but for someone who spamms for no reason on videos he has no reason to watch deserves to be deleted from youtube.
this must be the funniest episode surely. manual is freakin brilliant. god i can’t stop laughing
URM because it would look gross!
It’s so great. Too bad there aren’t so many episodes of Fawlty Towers. This is one of the best (besides Basil the Rat and The Germans).
nothing ever goes Basils way
Cleese looks so 100% inbred and retarded!
BTW Benny Hill was considered funnier than Monty Python by a UHF station that ran both (WLVI TV Channel 56 in Cambridge, Mass was the station). I agree!!!
Definitely my favourite episode of Fawlty Towers ever!!
At the end, Basil’s “duck’s off, sorry” had me in fits (Y)
I think they do this on purpose, jsut to see if people notice, like if its set in the evening, they’ll film in daylight for a luagh..
Haha, Agree.. “START YOU VISIOUS BARSTARD, OH MY GOD!” Fav. quote
