	BBC - Comedy Guide - Fawlty Towers
		But run a hotel Basil does, the quaint Fawlty Towers, or, rather, he runs it jointly with his formidable wife Sybil, a woman who has the ability to exude the required superficialities but is monstrously vitriolic towards her husband.
		To help run the hotel the Fawltys employ Polly, a sensible, down-to-earth maid/waitress who is often embroiled in Basil's schemes and their inevitably disastrous consequences, being forced to lie on his behalf or extricate him from trouble (for which he rarely thanks her since she is merely an underling, the hired help).
		Basil Fawlty, a frustrated, angry, short-tempered, super-snobbish misanthrope, is the very antithesis of the sort of person who should run a hotel, where a calm demeanour, winning smile, patience and a desire to make guests feel at home are the required attributes.

	Fawlty Towers the classic British comedy
		John Cleese was inspired to write what became Fawlty Towers after he and the rest of the Monty Python team were staying at a hotel in Torquay called the Gleneagles (not to be confused with the world-famous Gleneagles Hotel in Perthshire) whilst filming Monty Python's Flying Circus TV series in the early 1970s.
		This is a tribute to the classic 1970s comedy series set in the fictional Fawlty Towers hotel in Torquay on the English Riviera.

	Fawlty Towers
		Together they run their hotel, Fawlty Towers, with a little help from the unflappable Polly, and Manuel, the trainee waiter from Barcelona with marginally more intelligence than a monkey.
		Manic, arrogant, sycophantic and sadistic, Basil Fawlty is a much put-upon, hard-working hotel manager whose life is plagued by dead guests, hotel inspectors and riff-raff.
		Of course his biggest headache is his 'little nest of vipers' - his nagging wife Sibyl.

	FAWTLY TOWERS
		Mention the name of Fawlty Towers to anyone and they will instantly think of a hotel in Torquay, run by a man who would rather not have guests cluttering up the place, and a Spanish waiter whose vocabulary consists mainly of Que?!
		Prudish Basil is outraged at the apparent promiscuity going on in the hotel, but it is the guests that end up getting shocked when they find Basil and Manuel in a compromising position.
		Basil is sent into a frenzy of excessive rudeness when news arrives that there are hotel inspectors in the seaside resort of Torquay, but when a guest arrives and Fawlty mistakening takes him to be an inspector, he falls over himself to be the ideal host.

		Yet Fawlty Towers stood out from the commonplace through its intensity of pace and exceptional characterisation and performance, with the result that otherwise simple narratives were propelled, through the pandemonium generated by Basil and Sybil's prickly relationship, to absurd conclusions.
		Fawlty Towers turned on their relationship--an uneasy truce of withering looks and acidic banter born of her continual impatience at his incompetence and pomposity.
		Basil Fawlty (Cleese) and his wife Sybil (Prunella Scales) ran the down-at-heel seaside hotel of the title hampered by a lovingly-drawn cast of believable characters embellished in varying degrees from comic stereotype.
