Fawlty Towers Anniversary
On most people's top ten lists for great comedies, the sit-com Fawlty Towers is today 30 years old.
John Cleese terminated Fawlty Towers because he believed that he and his co-writer Connie Booth had extracted the best from the idea and further episodes would have resulted in ever-diminishing returns. A lesson that hasn't been learned by all too many shows! The episode The Germans is still my favourite.
