0x8 - Fawlty Towers: Re-Opened
May 10, 2009
To help celebrate its 30th anniversary, digital comedy channel, G.O.L.D., is throwing open the doors of TV's most famous hotel once more after a lengthy absence for this Tiger Aspect Productions documentary. It features interviews with all four main cast members, including Connie Booth, (who had, until now, refused to talk about the series). Fawlty Towers: Re-opened gathers cast and crew together to retrace the history of the sitcom, from a rarely seen insider point of view. The one-off special leaves no English Riviera stone unturned in its search for trivia and nuggets of information from the Fawlty Towers guestbook, together with in-depth interviews with John Cleese, Andrew Sachs and Prunella Scales,...just don't mention the war.
0x9 - Basil's Best Bits
May 17, 2009
Now here's an interesting way to celebrate the 30th birthday of a classic sitcom. For the first time ever, John Cleese reveals his favourite scenes from Fawlty Towers. No clues yet as to which ones they will be but there's the added bonus of the likes of Michael Palin, Terry Jones, Mitchell and Webb, Eddie Izzard and AA Gill reminiscing about these magic moments. Possibly even more interesting will be the comments from the owners of Gleanagles Hotel, which was the real-life inspiration for Fawlty Towers.
