Fawlty Towers was a 1970's British comedy, still considered to be one of the all time classic series. The main characters are Hotel manager Basil Fawlty, played by John Cleese (above) and the Spanish waiter Manuel, played by John Sachs. Here are some classic scenes from the series for your viewing pleasure!
In this scene Basil tries practicing his Spanish with Manuel. When the situation seems hopeless he says "I learnt classical Spanish, not the strange dialect that he seems to have picked up!" Burro means butter in Italian.
In this scene Manuel is practicing his English... with very funny consequences!
In this scene Basil has bet (put money) on a horse race... but he has to keep it a secret from his wife. Watch him try to explain this simple fact to Manuel!
In this scene there is an old woman staying in the hotel, who is deaf. Nobody wants to deal with her so Manuel is left to explain!
"I'm from Barcelona!"
