Fawlty Towers is one of the nation's favourite sitcoms, consistently topping polls to find the best comedy show ever. Though only twelve episodes were ever made, each one is a comic masterpiece. In these six episodes, Basil is faced with more mayhem and misadventures. 'Communication Problems' sees him dealing with Mrs Richards, a fussy guest who is also a little deaf, while also trying to keep his gambling win a secret from Sybil. In 'The Psychiatrist', a holidaymaking couple of doctors check in to Fawlty Towers. Basil is deeply perturbed to find out that one of them is a psychiatrist... 'Waldorf Salad' finds Basil attempting to placate a demanding American who insists on being fed even though the kitchen is closed. But how can he prepare Mr Hamilton's meal when he's all out of Waldorfs? In 'The Kipper and the Corpse', a guest dies at the hotel and Basil must try and remove the body discreetly, while in 'The Anniversary', Sybil believes Basil has forgotten their wedding anniversary and storms off - leaving Basil to explain her absence to the guests at her surprise party. And in 'Basil The Rat', the hotel faces closure due to lack of cleanliness unless they can keep the health inspector happy. But first, Basil has to find Manuel's 'Siberian hamster'...
