The Cast


Fawlty Towers

Or Farty Towels/Fatty Owls depending on the episode. Torquay�s tourist industry prepared to take a dive as John Cleese�s comic creation Basil Fawlty welcomed the first guests to his hotel.

The idea for the series came from a set of training videos ex-Python Cleese had produced to show various industries how NOT to succeed in business. Only 12 episodes were ever filmed, but almost all are now regarded as classics - the most famous being "The Hotel Inspector" and "The Germans".
