· It’s just over 50 years since Fawlty Towers was first broadcast on BBC Two on 19 September 1975 - Two seasons of six episodes each.
· Last Year on its 50th anniversary The Guardian called it “A perfectly calibrated Swiss watch of cringe… the comedy equivalent of an extremely hot chilli: delicious but a little goes a long way!” and that “it remains the greatest ever sitcom.”
· The director of Fawlty Towers season 2 --- Bob Spiers ---- went on to direct Spice World: The Movie in 2007!!!
· Bea Arthur played Basil Fawlty in one version, and a young Steve Carrell played Manuel in another.
· Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant refused to make a third series of either The Office or Extras, citing Fawlty Towers' short lifespan.
· Armando Iannucci: Creator of The Thick of It and Veep, has praised the rapid-fire, escalating panic of Basil Fawlty as a massive influence on his own frantic and beleaguered political characters.
