Synopsis of Fawlty Towers
Basil Fawlty runs a small hotel in Torquay, on the Devon coast in England, with his wife, Sybil. He has a bad temper and a sharp tongue, and wants to give his establishment some class. However, every day brings mistakes, both his own and others', that get in the way: demanding guests, employees who don't help, and small disasters that pile up. Manuel, a waiter who barely speaks English, works in the service, along with Polly, the employee who usually gets the boss out of trouble. The series, which premiered in 1975, follows Basil's efforts to keep the business afloat while his nerves are worn down by guests and setbacks. Created by John Cleese and Connie Booth, it airs on BBC Two, and Cleese plays the lead.
