About this deal

Duguid, Mark. "Fawlty Towers (1975, 79)". screenonline.org.uk. British Film Institute . Retrieved 25 July 2017. It has long been rumoured that a 13th episode of the series was written and filmed, but never progressed further than a rough cut. [44] Lars Holger Holm, author of the book Fawlty Towers: A Worshipper's Companion, has made detailed claims about the episode's content, but he provides no concrete evidence of its existence. [45] The idea of the show came from Cleese after he stayed at the Gleneagles Hotel in Torquay, Devon, in 1970 (along with the rest of the Monty Python troupe), where he encountered the eccentric hotel owner Donald Sinclair. Stuffy and snobbish, Sinclair treated guests as though they were a hindrance to his running of the hotel (a waitress who worked for him stated "it was as if he didn't want the guests to be there"). Sinclair was the inspiration for Cleese's character Basil Fawlty. Snavely 1978 Harvey Korman Betty White Fawlty Towers", YouTube, originally posted by Jay Vanzil, December 17, 2019.

Im not going through the whole set but I can't think of any other instances of strong language in the series other than a few "bastards" but again that's intact in the Germans episode. Maybe there's a bleep on a commentary or something.John Cleese: 'I WON'T allow the BBC to screen the new Fawlty Towers' - GB News World Exclusive". www.youtube.com. GB News on Youtube .

Breeze O’Rourke ( Julie Benz)– A waitress/chambermaid, based on Polly in Fawlty Towers. One difference between Breeze and Polly was that Breeze was staunchly proud that she was a virgin, "saving herself for marriage". Otherwise, Breeze was, like Polly, intelligent, efficient, and repeatedly saving Royal from his own incompetence.

Maintenance is made on the lobby while the Fawltys are out, but when a misreading causes the incompetent builders to mess it up spectacularly, Basil must try to remedy the situation before Sybil finds out.
