5/5 Excellent!!!
  by Mrs. Charmaine P. Comrie
I knew this was great before I purchased it; I'm just glad to get the complete series, short though it is, in one shot. I'm introducing my 13-year-old to English humor and might as well start with the best of the best. Well worth the money.

5/5 A real treat to watch these again!

Really enjoy seeing these episodes again, uncut and with all of them available. Although we've (in our household) loved Fawlty Towers from the first time we saw it on PBS years ago, we don't remember seeing the first season until now. Thoroughly enjoying this DVD set. Highly recommend. John Cleese is absolutely hilarious, and the rest of the cast is superb also.

5/5 Fawlty Towers

Fawlty Towers is as I remember it from the PBS run in the 80's. One of the funniest shows ever. John Cleese is a genius, furiously funny.

This series definitely stands the test of time! John Cleese ia as funny as ever and is supported by a wonderful cast including the brilliant Prunella Scales as his wife. The basic premise is John Cleese playing the pompous owner of a small seaside bed and breakfast in Torquy.His overbearing and arrogant attitude set up the classic interactions between staff and guests,while his long-suffering wife tries to mitigate the results of his folly.
