Fawlty Towers, a fictional hotel in the seaside town of Torquay, around the "English Riviera" and would be the setting for the series. The plots centre around tense, rude and put-upon owner Basil Fawlty (Cleese), his bossy wife Sybil (Prunella Scales), a rather standard chambermaid Polly (Booth), and hapless Spanish waiter Manuel (Andrew Sachs) and their attempts to run the hotel amidst farcical conditions and an array of demanding and eccentric guests.
In May well 1971 the Monty Python group stayed at the Gleneagles Hotel (that is referred to in "The Builders" episode) in Torquay whilst filming on place. It was while staying at this hotel that Cleese and Booth came up with all the notion for the show. During the stay John Cleese became fascinated with all the behaviour of Donald Sinclair, the owner, whom was described by Cleese as "the most marvellously rude man I've ever met."
Sinclair's behaviour included throwing a timetable at a guest who asked when the next bus to town would arrive; and placing Eric Idle's briefcase (place to one side by Idle though waiting for a auto with Cleese behind a wall inside the garden around the suspicion that it contained a bomb
He also criticised the American-born Terry Gilliam's table manners for not becoming "British" (that is certainly, he switched hands with his fork while consuming). Cleese and Booth stayed on at the hotel soon after filming, furthering their analysis on the hotel owner. As outlined by Sinclair 'staff problems' with the hotel explained his actions.
Fawlty Towers revolves about the exploits and misadventures of short-fused hotelier Basil Fawlty, his wife Sybil and their personnel, porter and waiter Manuel, maid Polly, and in the second series chef Terry. Every episode commonly include Basil's efforts to succeed in 'raising the tone' of his hotel and his increasing frustration in the quite a few complications and blunders, both his personal and those of other people, which stop him from doing so. The humour comes from Basil's overly aggressive manner, engaging in angry but witty arguments with guests, staff and in certain his formidable wife, whom he addresses (within a faux-romantic way) with insults which include "that golfing puff adder", "my little piranha fish" and "my little nest of vipers". In spite of this, he regularly feels intimidated, she having the ability to quit him in his tracks at any time, usually having a short, sharp cry of "Basil!" At the end of some episodes, Basil succeeds in annoying (or a minimum of bemusing) the guests and frequently gets his comeuppance.
Fawlty Towers was placed initially, voted for by industry pros, in a list of the 100 Greatest British Tv Programmes drawn up by the British Film Institute in 2000. It was also voted fifth in the BBC's "Britain's Finest Sitcom" poll in 2004, and second only to Frasier in the Ultimate Sitcom poll of comedy writers in January 2006. Basil Fawlty was top on the Britain's Funniest Comedy Character poll, held by 5 on 14 May well 2006. "The Germans" was ranked No. 12 on Television Guide's 100 Greatest Episodes of All Time.
