    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      When Basil hits Manuel over the head with a pan, the prop designer installed heavy padding in one of the pans. But during filming, John Cleese couldn't see in the dark and grabbed the wrong pan-one that was totally unpadded. Andrew Sachs was almost knocked unconscious and suffered a headache for days.
    • Goofs
      The doorbell goes at night and Basil complains that someone has forgotten their pass key. When he goes downstairs to open the door, he slides back two bolts before opening the door. Anyone who had their pass key wouldn't have been able to get in either.
    • Quotes

      Basil Fawlty: Did you ever see that film "How To Murder Your Wife"?

      Major Gowen: "How To Murder Your Wife"?

      Basil Fawlty: Yes, awfully good. I saw it six times.

    • Crazy credits
      The 2nd "W" of the Fawlty Towers sign is displaced.
