Basil Fawlty is the sharp-tongued, short-fused owner of Fawlty Towers, a hotel plagued by crisis, chaos and bizarre characters. This set collects all 12 episodes of the British comedy, and also includes interviews with the writer and star, John Cleese.
Wonderful stuff, if you don't mind sexism, nationalism, and general poking fun at both hotel owners and guests. Fawlty Towers is John Cleese at his best, and was made in the 1970s when political correctness was unheard of.
We've seen this before, and enjoyed it all over again seeing around one episode per week over several months. Maybe you have to be British and over 40 to appreciate it... but, seen as a classic of the era, it's hard to beat. ( )

Mrs. Richards: Don't be silly. I expect to be able to see the sea. Basil: You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky.

Basil: You'll have to forgive him. He's from Barcelona.
