Fawlty Towers: The Complete Collection

"Nutter runs small hotel" is the terse but true description given by an English catalog to the weekly comedy series FAWLTY TOWERS. Created by John Cleese, the series stars Cleese as Basil Fawlty, the insufferable--and insufferably inept--owner/manager of a 10th-rate British hotel. Co-starring as Basil's equally impossible wife Sybil is Prunella Scales, while Connie Booth (who co-wrote and occasionally directed the series) is on hand as Jill-of-all trades Polly Sherman. First seen on the BBC in 1975, FAWLTY TOWERS made it to American viewers by way of local PBS outlets in 1978. This collection includes every episode of the chaotic comedy series.
