The next instalment
of the Fawlty Towers series has finally arrived on DVD with fans of
Manuel and Basil shouting for joy across the globe. Probably one of
the most memorable volumes of the series, this current DVD features
three extremely entertaining episodes. For those unaware of the Fawlty Towers
phenomena, the tale revolves around Basil Fawlty and
his idyllic countryside hotel that is unfortunately run by a group
of what Basil may call imbeciles. It's a very quirky humour that
still dates quite well today and is recommended to all lovers of BBC
comedy!.
The Germans:
Sybil goes into the hospital for toe surgery, leaving Basil to cope
with a fire drill single-handed. After a couple of blows on the
head, Basil tells some German guests where Germany went wrong in
WWII.
The Hotel Inspectors:
Some inspectors are in town and Basil gets paranoid, so he
alternately fawns over and offends his guests.
A Touch of Class:
A confidence trickster comes to stay at the hotel, just after Basil
has taken an ad in a posh magazine to upgrade the clientele.
