Title: Farce on the English Riviera
Review: In 1971, John Cleese and the rest of the team fromMonty Python's Flying Circusencountered rude treatment at a hotel. This experience led to the development of "Fawlty Towers," a sitcom that originally appeared on the BBC in 1975 and 1979. In the series, Cleese plays Basil Fawlty, manager of the Fawlty Towers hotel in Torquay on the Devon coast.Fawlty (mis)manages the hotel with his wife, Sybil (Prunella Scales), and with hired help Polly (Connie Booth) and Manuel (Andrew Sachs). The four trifle with both the guests and each other, and the show is witty with fast-paced dialogue and comedy of errors-style humor. Some of the situations the crew stumbles into involve botched hotel repairs, restaurant meals gone wrong, and an untimely death.The first two discs in this set contain the twelve episodes of the series, and there is a third bonus disc recalling this classic series that containing interviews, outtakes, and other material.
