John Cleese (Basil Fawlty)
Prunella Scales (Sybil Fawlty)
Andrew Sachs (Manuel)
Connie Booth (Polly)

This tv series is set in a hotel in Torquay called 'Fawlty Towers'. At the beginning of each episode look at the sign for the hotel and it general reads something else like Watery Fowls.
Basil is always getting the blame when things go wrong. Each episode is a masterpiece.

Such episodes include a man dying in his sleep and they have nowhere to put the body and it keeps getting spotted by the other guests such as Miss Tibbs.

The builder where he tries to get a couple of changes done to the hotel but wants to use a cheaper builder than his wife wants. When things go wrong he says that he did use the builder Stubbs when he actually used O'Reilly.

They are just 2 of my favourites.

Fantastic series - best sit-com ever. However, your review didn't do it justice unfortunately. Could you give more details about why you enjoyed it so much?
