This week it was announced that BBC's Fawlty Towers is to be revived, with John Cleese returning to write and star.
Originally co-written by Connie Booth, the series followed the chaotic work of Torquay hotelier Basil Fawlty and his wife Sybil, as they tried to keep their hotel and marriage afloat. Running on BBC2 for two series in 1975 and 1979, on February 8, Castle Rock Entertainment announced a deal with Cleese to bring back the series.
The ECHO recently reported how the revival will explore how the dramatic and cynical Basil navigates the modern world and teams up with the daughter he's just discovered he has. It's now been decades since the British sitcom, which only ran for 12-episodes, first hit our screens and the lives of its stars changed forever.
