John Cleese has said his stage adaptation of Fawlty Towers has been successful because 50 years on from the show’s 1975 TV debut it is still “funnier than anything else that’s on these days”.
The 85-year-old was speaking to the PA news agency ahead of a new run of Fawlty Towers: The Play, which will begin at the Apollo Theatre in London’s Shaftesbury Avenue on June 24, where it will remain until September 13 before heading out on a UK and Ireland tour.
