Description

The British sitcom by which all other British sitcoms must be judged, Fawlty Towers withstands multiple viewings, is eminently quotable ("don’t mention the war"), and stands up to this day as a jewel in the BBC's comedy crown. Fawlty Towers was famously inspired by a seethingly rude hotel proprietor John Cleese encountered whilst away filming with the Monty Python team. Unwittingly, Donald Sinclair became the blueprint for Basil Fawlty, the epitome of frustrated, social climbing middle-Englanders. Now digitally remastered.

Badly Remastered

This is some of the greatest British comedy ever made, but sadly only existed on video tape.
This version has been remastered to the point where it is far worse than it was before they remastered it. Actually hard to watch.
The unremastered version is also available on this site and I strongly recommend it compared to this mess.

СУПЕР !!!

I rate this comedy in the top three of all time, it just cracks me up every time, John Cleese of course is a master of comedy, up there with the likes of Tony Hancock and all the greats. I’ll just say this, if you can’t laugh at this wonderful comedy you have no sense of humour.

MANWELLLL

My parents love this show and I've always caught bits and bobs from them watching it, always found it hilarious and thanks to Apple TV I've started going through series that I missed.. Currently half way through Friends, and I'm so glad I just stumbled across these, really looking forward to watching the lot.

Manuel is hilarious

I have been watching Fawlty Towers since childhood. My Dad used to work in the kitchens in the 70s when alot of the staff were Spanish and he knew many Manuels! That always cracked him up. Don't under estimate Basil and Sybil's brilliant mid life crisis marriage. It's utterly brilliantly done! A couple of reviewers don't understand farce, comedy has many facets. Paolo, this is a very British comedy. It's the age of the download and its still going strong. So there.

This is true British comedy. It has stood the test of time and become even funnier. John Cleese really gets into role as rude hotel manager, with his punch lines. A true British comedy. Defo worth the money!

Perfect series. Slightly disappointing purchase.

The series is faultless - an all-time classic.
However, I've docked a star, because the title of the collection contains the word "remastered", yet the episodes have the same blurred, faded appearance that they've always had (and I have watched it hundreds of times - I would definitely notice the slightest improvement).

Great!

Truly great comedies really are few and far between but this really has stood the test of time. The word genius is banded around far, far too often in this day and age but THIS fulfils every criteria required for being bestowed the masterpiece tag. I'm afraid Paul Addison I agree with my fellow reviewer. You have no idea what comedy is. Having said that, it's all down to personal preference. The fact that you don't like it is fair enough (albeit rather odd) but to give this national treasure one star based on your personal preference I would suggest is not what reviewing is all about. Love it or hate it, it's greatness cannot be denied and every time I watch this, like many many other people I laugh like a drain. Utter genius and I, like most professional reviews give this the 5 star rating it deserves.

Hilarious

John cleese's role as an ilmannered and bad tempered hotel manager plays host to hilarious gags and punchlines making this undoubtedly one of many shining examples of British comedy.

Not funny

This show is massively overrated and not in the least bit amusing. It's also incredibly dated and over-acted.

Excellent!
