Fawlty Towers

This is another of my very favorite shows of all time. Fawlty Towers was the brainchild of Monty Python alum John Cleese and his wife Connie Booth, who played Polly the hotel's maid.
John Cleese played Basil Fawlty, owner-operator of Fawlty Towers.
Probably the funniest part on the show was Manuel the waiter in the hotel restaurant, played by Andrew Sachs. Basil's wife Sybil was portrayed by Prunella Scales.
This was a lightning in a bottle show that will never be done again with only 12 episodes ever produced, 6 in 1975 and 6 in 1979.
