1975: #OnThisDay 50 years ago Fawlty Towers opened its doors to guests. Written by John Cleese and Connie Booth, who were also a married couple at the time, the pair discuss Basil Fawlty’s irrepressible character and how the development of Basil and his wife Sybil felt like therapy at times. Additional contributions are provided by broadcasters Alan Coren and Anthony Jay. Clip taken from Tonight, originally broadcast on BBC One, Friday 20 February 1975. | BBC Archive

You might remember a little-known TV show I was involved in called FAWLTY TOWERS? It was first broadcast 50 years ago, before many of you were even alive, and I’ve written a special book of all my favourite comedic moments - “Fawlty Towers : Fawlts and All.” 📚Pre-order it here: bit.ly/FawltyBook There are a limited number of signed Hardback copies available for those of you who plan to give it a damn good thrashing, as well as paperbacks and audiobooks for Mrs. Richards. In stores October 9th.
