Fawlty Towers is classic comedy gold. John Cleese was inspired to write this show after staying at the Gleneagles Hotel and witnessing the hotel manager, Donald Sinclair, being what Cleese described as "the most marvelously rude man he'd ever met." Sinclair threw bus schedules at people, hid luggage he suspected held bombs, and with criticizing the guests table manners. Basil Fawlty, the owner of Fawlty Towers, is every bit a "marvelously rude" hotel manager, especially in the episode "The Germans" which is my favorite episode of the series and also the most iconic episode of Fawlty Towers. The first part of the episode is above, you can find the rest and more Fawlty Towers on YouTube, just don't mention the war. Enjoy!
