Despite only running for two series, Fawlty Towers is immortalised in British culture with some iconic one-liners and even more iconic characters.
The plot is focused on the rude and stubborn owner of a poorly managed hotel, Basil Fawlty (John Cleese), his bossy wife Sybil (Prunella Scales), the sensible chambermaid Polly (Connie Booth) and the hapless Spanish waiter Manuel (Andrew Sachs).
The first series aired 46 years ago in 1975, but chances are you'll have seen these famous faces of your screens more recently.

In 2013, the BBC edited the Major's (played by Ballard Berkley) use of racial slurs from a repeat transmission of the episode, prompting some criticism by viewers. The BBC defended its decision, "We are very proud of Fawlty Towers and its contribution to British television comedy.
John Cleese was one of the individuals who wasn't impressed with the decision saying, "I would have hoped that someone at the BBC would understand that there are two ways of making fun of human behaviour.
"One is to attack it directly. The other is to have someone who is patently a figure of fun, speak up on behalf of that behaviour. "
