[Comedy series Fawlty Towers is set
to be revived after more than 40 years.

John Cleese, who played Basil Fawlty,
will be returning to write and
star alongside his daughter Camilla Cleese.

The two-series show, which featured on
BBC2 in 1975 and 1979, followed the
lives of Torquay hotelier Basil and his
wife Sybil as they tried to keep their
business and marriage afloat.

The new series will explore how the
dramatic and cynical Basil navigates
the modern world.

Castle Rock Entertainment announced
on Tuesday it had closed a deal with
Cleese to bring back the television series.

The revival will also see Basil
and a daughter he has just discovered
is his, team up to run a boutique hotel. ]


[In October 2022, the Monty Python
actor confirmed he would be
hosting his own GB News TV show.]

Reported to start Later this Year.

This has the potential to be really good. Or it could be a mess. We'll see.

His Daughter is Younger


I would stick Basil
in an Electric wheelchair
so he could move faster

I just think this is a terrible idea tbh. :omgno:

They quit while they were ahead and only did 12 episodes back in the day ,so why must they bring it back....and I think it will fail aswell .

Depends who the co-stars are?

I just think this is John Cleese's attempt at getting a dig in at the PC brigade (who he's been seemingly constantly warring with lately) and it'll just piss people off.

I hope I'm wrong because I love FT but I think we can all agree it's very "of it's time" and wouldn't work nowadays for a whole host of reasons. :skull:

Yes he needs to stay alive
as a New GBnewsHD show
is booked for later this year


Also it is to get "Some" people pissed off

Sounds like car crash TV

it's obviously being done for money and will flop miserably

Camilla Cleese looks a lot like Connie Booth (her mother, his ex wife) who played Polly in Fawlty Towers. Or at least, she did in Cleese's movies Fish Called Wanda and Fierce Creatures. They were quite a while ago so she might not now :joker: but if she does, it'll need lampshading, if his character's daughter greatly resembles his hotel's chambermaid it'd carry unfortunate implications :joker:

But anyway, I know she's a stand-up comedienne, so hopefully she can "sanity check" her dad's jokes. I've not seen anything recent he's written? He was in, but didn't write, that show where the couple's middle-aged son moved back in with them.

Yeah, I'm a fan of him and his work :laugh:

It wasn’t funny the first time? Why try again?

Many found it Funny

A Few did not

And this is not try again
it is a new story
Starring his Daughter

Also, it will be a Boutique Hotel


It can be Old Basil attacking his Woke Daughter



Camilla Cleese is the Star of it
