The Complete Story of the Nation’s Favourite Sitcom.

192 page hardback book released in Nov 2001. A tribute to six hours of hilarious TV comedy. There are rare photographs and exclusive contributions from John Cleese and Connie Booth, which help to form a guide for fans of the series. The book details each character’s individual traits, comedy highlights and the positions in the Fawlty dynamic. There are also biographies of the principle actor’s previous and subsequent careers, as well as details of the shows conception and development, and the guest stars that appeared on the show.

After an introduction to the book itself there is a 40-page background and history of Fawlty Towers full of interesting facts about the real Torquay hotel and its owner who was the inspiration for Basil as well as loads about the making of the programme of course. The next section consists of articles of varying lengths (naturally slightly more about John, then Prunella, Connie etc) detailing their life and their work both before and after Fawlty Towers. Then the guest stars, many of whom played hotel guests, get the same treatment although as you would expect this is shorter than the main stars, most get a couple of paragraphs. The two series of Fawlty Towers then get a section each which is four pages per episode with a full cast listing plus production crew. Final page is a list of all the books, DVDs, videos, records, cassettes etc that have been made about Fawlty Towers. There is no index although I don’t think it really needs one.
