Fawlty Towers: Second Sitting (Vintage Beeb)

John Cleese, Prunella Scales, Connie Booth and Andrew Sachs star in two BBC TV episodes, 'The Rat' and 'The Builders'. In 'The Rat', the hotel faces closure due to lack of cleanliness – and two dead ‘pig-ee-ons’ in the watertank. Basil, Sybil and the staff have until the health inspector returns tomorrow to sort out all the problems. First, Basil has to get rid of Manuel’s ‘hamster’. Basil and Sybil have the weekend off in 'The Builders' and leave Polly in charge. But, it’s O’Reilly’s men that are coming and Polly goes upstairs for a siesta. Which leaves Manuel in charge... Vintage Beeb: classic albums first available as BBC LPs, now on CD for the first time ever. This recording was previously released on LP in 1981.

hn Cleese was born in 1939 in Weston-Super-Mare. He studied Law at Cambridge University and has enjoyed a successful career in comedy, theatre and film and television.
