A Touch of Class

Series 1, episode 1

Originally Aired On: Friday, 19 September 1975

The highlight of John Cleese's career, surely? The brilliant sitcom he created with co-star Connie Booth about a Torquay hotel run by disaster-prone Basil Fawlty and his overbearing wife, Sybil. Basil tries to attract a better class of clientele to the hotel. The first ever episode.
