The comedy series follows the story of a man named Basil Fawlty , an incompetent and geek hotel owner and hotel manager. Over time, Basil does not always deviate from his job that he embraces for himself and his family even though he is intolerant, rude and paranoid. All hell collapses during that period as Basil works to manage the hotel, but he is constantly under verbal attack by his wife, Sibel.
Fawlty Towers delivers classic British comedy by way of Cleese's delightfully neurotic character, whose attempts to advance his business always backfire in hilarious ways.
The writing team of John Cleese and his then-wife Connie Booth probably put more sweat and brain power into constructing each sublime, chaotic, farcical half hour of Fawlty Towers than many writers expend on a full-length feature film.
It's difficult to describe the point where personal chemistry, creative genius, and pinpoint comedic timing come together. Like any unique work, it has to be experienced to be appreciated.
While we can't say we'd ever want to stay at the titular hotel, run by the hapless Basil Fawlty...we sure do enjoy watching him struggle to maintain it.
While the outlandish actions performed by Cleese make Basil the centre piece of the show, the other actors also deserve a great deal of praise for the roles they uphold within the sitcom.
The first episode immediately makes the show seem like it'd been on the air for ages...It roots every character in their personality and is as well-written a story as any other.
The humor would be absurd and childish if it wasn't so genuinely smart and well-constructed, and that's why Fawlty Towers remains one of the most beloved British comedies of all time.
