The shrill summons from 'the beast of Torquay' can only mean one thing - the most famous hotel in the history of comedy is once more serving its classic recipe for howls of helpless laughter. So here they are again - snobbish, boorish, disaster-prone Basil Fawlty, his vulgarly genteel wife Sybil, their cackhanded Spanish waiter Manuel and unflappable maid-of-all-work Polly. Together they ensure the funniest, best-loved sit-com of all time, a timeless masterpiece of frantic farce.

Four classic BBC TV episodes:-
