Customer Rating:
Summary: Timesless Classic British Comedy
Comment: Fawlty Towers is definitely in the top 5 British comedies ever made. It's based loosely on a real hotel manager in a hotel that John Cleese and the rest of the Monty Python team stayed at in the very real town of Torquay in South East England. It's extremely funny and you'll never tire of it. Classic scenes such as "The Germans", "Waldorf salad" and "Mr Fawlty, I know nothing" will have you howling out loud even if it is over 30 years old. With all 12 episodes, this DVD is worth every cent.

Summary: The worst hotelier you can't stop watching
Comment: Basil Fawlty (John Cleese) is far from a perfect man. In fact he's a terrible terrible person. But you end up overlooking that fact for the simple reason that he makes you laugh. Most of the scrapes he gets himself into would be easily taken care of if he could simply tell the truth. But that concept is foreign to him.
This series ran the perfect amount of time, ending while it was still hilarious. Each episode is a unique story, never retreading old ground. If you are a fan of the British use of both irony and farce, this is a virtual treasure trove of humor.
