<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>For fans of the most celebrated Brit-com of all time, this compendium features the complete, unexpurgated scripts of "Fawlty Towers", along with eight pages of photos from the outrageously funny show.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>What did Basil Fawlty fail to avoid mentioning?<br> Why did Sybil keep snagging her cardies? <br> Where was Polly on the night of the great wedding anniversary disaster? <br> And what is the Spanish word for donkey?</b> <p/> The answer to all these questions can be found in this, the complete and unexpurgated scripts of <i>Fawlty Towers</i>--the most celebrated Brit-com of all time, and the show was voted the top UK television series ever by the British Film Institute. The snobbish, manic Basil . . . his over-coiffeured, domineering wife Sybil . . . the hopeless but ever-hopeful waiter Manuel . . . the calm and capable Polly . . . and of course the steady stream of abused guests--all live again in the pages of <i>The Complete Fawlty Towers. <p/> Gahan Wilson in the <i>New York Times</i> has called John Cleese arguably one of the funniest people now living. And as one British periodical (<i>Literary Review</i>) put it, the book is superbly well written. If you're on a bus and can't see Basil Fawlty thrashing his car with a large branch, it is some compensation to read it happening. Or as one anonymous fan put it online: Yes, it's all here, all the comedy, the frustration, the dead body, even the rat.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>John Cleese</b> is a multi-talented actor and author who lists his recreations in <i>Who's Who</i> as gluttony and sloth. At 6' 4 3/4 he is exactly the same height as Basil Fawlty. <p/><b>Connie Booth</b>, who was formerly married to John Cleese, was an oasis of sanity in Fawlty Towers as Polly.
