John Cleese's Fawlty Towers is a masterclass in comedic writing and performance. As the inept and perpetually exasperated Basil Fawlty, Cleese delivers a performance of unparalleled physical comedy and wit. The show's tight plotting and memorable characters have made it a enduring classic. Only 12 episodes were ever made! This scarcity contributes to its legendary status. Every episode is packed with absurd situations and unforgettable lines.
