What can you say that hasn't been said already?
This is John Cleese at his absolute best and the script he and Connie Booth put together just ooozes brilliance. You can see the sheer effort, blood sweat and tears they wove into this series and it's one of, if not THE all time great sitcom. The crap sets, the ad-Libs, the energy from the actors all make this just fabulous. The humour, the wit, the characters, the length of the series. All perfect. Perfection is not a word to use lightly and nothing or no one is perfect, but Fawlty Towers runs very, very close to absolute perfection.
