First broadcast in 1975, 'Fawlty Towers' has remained a timeless example of comic writing, acting, and characterisation at its very best. This DVD features all six memorable episodes from the first series. A Touch Of Class: An confidence trickster comes to stay at the hotel, just after Basil has taken an ad in a posh magazine to attract a better class of clientele... The Builders: The Fawltys take a holiday and leave Polly and Manuel to run (or should that be ruin?) the place just as O'Reilly's builders come to redo the lobby. The Wedding Party: Basil wants `none of that' going on in his rooms and suspects some guests and Polly of carrying on. The Hotel Inspectors: Some inspectors are in town and Basil's paranoia causes him to alternately fawn over and offend his guests. Gourmet Night: To bring the right type of crowd into the hotel, Basil establishes a Gourmet Night but when the Rotarians arrive there are a few problems with the chef refusing to stop sampling too much wine from the cellar and the car refusing to go any further. The Germans: Sybil goes into the hospital for toe surgery, leaving Basil to cope with a fire drill single-handed. After a couple of blows on the head, Basil forgets not to mention the war and tells some German guests where Germany went wrong in WWII....
