Fawlty Towers: The Kipper and the Corpse (1979)
Season 2, Episode 4
8/10
Strong episode with jet black humour
2 November 2020
Basil struggles to deal with guest who dies and the demands of the live ones.

This is another great episode blending a very funny situation with Basil's outrageous behaviour.

The humour couldn't be much darker in its theme with death at the heart of the story, but it is treated as farcically as any other situation in which I have seen Basil Fawlty involved.

Basil has some excellent lines and John Cleese delivers them as brilliantly as always, my favourite being his reaction to one guest who is rendered unconscious following her encounter with the dead body. Also funny is his rant regarding the breakfast tray.
