This week it was announced that classic sitcom Fawlty Towers is to be rebooted.
The original show, written by Cleese and Connie Booth, followed the chaotic work of Torquay hotelier Basil Fawlty and his wife Sybil, as they tried to keep their hotel and marriage afloat. But the revival will see John Cleese starring alongside his daughter Camilla Cleese and explore how the dramatic and cynical Basil navigates the modern world.
On February 8, Castle Rock Entertainment announced a deal with Cleese to bring back the series. In 2019, the show, which ran on BBC2 for two series in 1975 and 1979, was named the greatest British sitcom of all time by a panel of television experts for Radio Times magazine.
