A delightfully manic British comedy about an ill-mannered innkeeper, created by and starring 'Monty Python' alum John Cleese and his then-wife, Connie Booth. Inspired by a real-life English hotelier, the series won legions of American fans when it aired on PBS in the 1970s. The program's initial run of six episodes premiered on the BBC in September 1975. A second season of six episodes ran in February 1979.

6 Episodes 1979 - 1979

After a four year hiatus, "Fawlty Towers" returned in 1979, and immediately delivered six more episodes of historic British comedy entertainment. Delivering even more laughs, and throwing Basil head first into more pitfalls, including an American guest demanding a particular cuisine from across the Atlantic, a dead guest with some dodgy kippers, Manuel's pet 'hamster', and the terror of his own wedding anniversary to his 'little nest of vipers', Sybil. The long suffering maid Polly and everyone's favorite waiter from Barcelona, Manuel, both return and try their best to help Basil – but as with everything in his life, it just never quite works out for him. Enjoy the hilarity of one of the greatest British television sitcoms of all time.
