The Comedy Phenomenon that Everyone Still Talks About.
Last year, the British Film Institute announced that 'Fawlty Towers' was at the top of its 100 most important TV shows of all time, voted for by actors, directors, producers, writers and critics. The series has become part of the national consciousness, with repeat audience figures of over 18 million.
Respected film and TV historians Morris Bright and Robert Ross have created the definitive tribute to the most hilarious six hours of TV comedy. With copious rare photographs, exclusive contributions from leading actors, this book is an invaluable guide to all 'Fawlty Towers' fans.
The book is packed with in-depth information, including each character's individual traits and comedy highlights; each principle actor's previous and subsequent careers; famous guest-stars; the influence of 'Fawlty Towers' on following generations; and the development of the show from its inception at the disastrous hotel where the 'Monty Python' team stayed on a location shoot.
