Fawlty Towers
TV Show • 1975
ReportFawlty Towers is a British sitcom produced by BBC Television that was first broadcast on BBC2 in 1975 and 1979. Twelve episodes were made. The show was written by John Cleese and his then wife Connie Booth, both of whom also starred in the show.The series is set in Fawlty Towers, a fictional hotel in the seaside town of Torquay, on the "English Riviera". The plots centre around tense, rude and put-upon owner Basil Fawlty, his bossy wife Sybil, a comparatively normal chambermaid Polly, and hapless Spanish waiter Manuel and their attempts to run the hotel amidst farcical situations and an array of demanding and eccentric guests.In a list drawn up by the British Film Institute in 2000, voted by industry professionals, Fawlty Towers was named the best British television series of all time.

Not intentionally, but a running joke in Season 2 Episode 2 is that Basil repeatedly accidentally touches a woman's breasts.

Sybil is very abusive towards basil such as demeaning, threatening and hitting him hard, basil is clearly scared of his wife and at one point having a mental breakdown over the fact she will get mad at him. all played for laughs as sometimes basil does deserve a knockdown from time to time

Manuel's pet rat, Basil, is kept in a ridiculously small cage with no enrichment. He believed it to be a hamster when he bought it, but those would be terrible living conditions for a hamster too.
