More about the book

Eccentric characters and farcical humor define this iconic British television series from the 1970s. The narrative centers on Basil Fawlty, a beleaguered hotel owner, and his nagging wife Sybil, alongside their well-meaning yet mistreated staff, Polly and Manuel. Together, they navigate the challenges of running a slightly dilapidated seaside hotel, often leading to comedic mishaps and chaotic situations. The series cleverly captures the absurdity of their daily lives and the humorous dynamics between the characters.
