A man was gobsmacked after discovering an original Fawlty Towers script in the home of a deceased family member. He was clearing out a drawer when he came across the rare find - there were only 12 episodes of the BBC sitcom made.
The script details series 2 episode 'Waldorf Salad' and sold for a staggering £12,000 at East Bristol Auctions, based in Hanham. Its description says: "Originally recorded as the first episode of the second series, the episode was later shown as the third episode. Dated 21st January 1979, and running to 98 printed pages on yellow paper. Retains the original script fastener to corner. Front cover loose.
"Originally owned by a BBC cameraman, the script represents an important piece of British comedy history. "
