Originally Aired On: Monday, 19 February 1979

The comedy that put the farce back into sitcom set in Torquay's most famous hotel run by disaster-prone Basil Fawlty and his overbearing wife, Sybil. A racing tip and a guest who is hard of hearing spell financial disaster for Basil. The classic episode in which Basil asks 'What did you expect to see from a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps?'.
