Pure genius throughout, still makes me laugh now and I must have watched each episode countless times.
Will never be bettered.

The guy who played Roger in 'The Anniversary' seems interesting and largely forgotten. Ken Campbell.

He was a ventriloquist among other things. It was between him and Sylvester McCoy to play the 7th Doctor in Doctor Who... weird thought.

They should make some more of these. I'll be watching it soon, again. Last time I watched it with the Cleese commentary which freshened it up a bit.

Cleese stopped at 12 as he couldn't better them
A very wise decision

Oh hello Randall. Unfortunately I practise high sacrilege with my belief that more is more. They should cast Angus Deayton as Basil and make a few more series.

It took the Americans to do Fawlty Towers properly. Nailed it.

I like the moose's head though. Far better than Basil's. It's looking up at the ceiling Randy.

A 1971 episode of Doctor at Large, written by John Cleese. According to this youtuber, it's connected to what became Fawlty Towers.

I found some Fawlty Towers production photos. Pretty nice.

The 'Colour' camera here to remind that it wasn't far off being shot in black and white.
