Fawlty Towers Series

Topics: Fawlty Towers, John Cleese, Connie Booth, Prunella Scales, Andrew Sachs, John Howard Davies, Bob Spiers, Monty Python

Fawlty Towers is a BBC television sitcom that was first broadcast on BBC2 in 1975 and 1979. 12 episodes were made (2 series, each of 6 episodes). The show was written by John Cleese and Connie Booth, who both also starred in the show; they were married at the time of series 1 but divorced before recording series 2.

The series is set in Fawlty Towers, a fictional hotel in the seaside town of Torquay, on the "English Riviera". The plots centre on tense, rude and put-upon owner Basil Fawlty (Cleese), his bossy wife Sybil (Prunella Scales), comparatively normal chambermaid Polly who is often the peacemaker and voice of reason (Booth), and hapless Spanish waiter Manuel (Andrew Sachs), showing their attempts to run the hotel amidst farcical situations and an array of demanding and eccentric guests.

Subject: Aspect ratio wrong

This show was shot and broadcast in 4:3 aspect ratio. Someone has converted to 16:9 without adding pillarboxing. As a result the picture is squashed vertically.
