Fawlty Towers Series Two (DVD)Check in to the most popular BBC comedy of all time, where merriment and madness are on the house. Newly remastered for better-than-ever viewing, this disc contains four classic episodes, as well as interviews, behind-the-scenes and cast bios. John Cleese stars as Basil Fawlty, the sharp-tongued, short-tempered owner of Fawlty Towers, a hotel plagued by crisis, chaos and bizarre characters. Gourmet Night is Basil's brilliant idea to raise the quality of the clientele of his dingy little establishment, but when h new cook gets blind drunk, he responds by importing the food from another restaurant, with the usual Fawlty foul-ups. In The Germans, perhaps the best-loved episode of the series, simple instructions not to mention "the War" to the German guests sends Basil into a flustered frenzy of conversations that all wind back to WWII, culminating in his stork-like goose step as he offers his impersonation of Adolf Hitler. Communications Problems finds Basil once again plotting behind his wife's back, this time for a little off-track betting. H horse comes in, but his effort to hide his winnings becomes complicated when a guest is robbed and Basil's sneaking and sudden handful of * make him the prime suspect. Complicating matters is dotty Major Gowan, the reality-impaired resident whose forgetfulness only lands Basil in worse trouble. Basil's prudish hypocrisy gets aworkout in The Psychiatrist when a handsome young chap sneaks a girl into his room. Compounding Basil's strange behavior is the discovery that another guest is a psychiatrist, sending Basil into a tizzy as he is sure the man is analyzing his every utterance. As his attempts to catch the adulterers in the act turns into a bedroom farce, Basil finds himself caught in a position both compromising and absurd. His duck-walking climax has to be seen to be believed.]]
