Book by Cleese John Connie Booth
Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
The complete and unexpurgated scripts of one of the most celebrated comedy series ever. Published in its entirety for the first time and illustrated with a host of hilarious photographs, The Complete Fawlty Towers will appeal to the millions of fans who have suffered through endless PBS fundraisers waiting for the next episode -- and anyone who has survived a package holiday tour.
Fawlty Towers is the hotel of every traveler's nightmare. Basil Fawlty -- ill-tempered, henpecked, and conniving -- tries in vain to be master of his house under the disapproving and ever-watchful eye of his wife, Sybil. The hotel offers service by Manuel, the incompetent Spanish waiter whose feeble grasp of English makes for hilarious misunderstandings, and Polly, the unflappable chambermaid who is Fawlty Towers' only sane employee. Meals are scorched in the kitchen while adulterers consort upstairs and chaos reigns all around. For countless fans, Fawlty Towers is the best-loved bad hotel in the world, and with publication of The Complete Fawlty Towers they will all have a chance to relive its outrageous awfulness.
John Cleese is a multi-talented actor and author who lists his recreations in Who's Who as "gluttony and sloth." At 6' 4 3/4" he is exactly the same height as Basil Fawlty. Connie Booth, who was formerly married to John Cleese, was an oasis of sanity in Fawlty Towers as Polly.

Hardback. Etat : Good. What did Basil Fawlty fail to avoid mentioning? Why did Sybil keep snagging her cardies? Where was Polly on the night of the great wedding anniversary disaster? And what is the Spanish word for donkey?The answer to all these questions can be found in this, the complete and unexpurgated scripts of Fawlty Towers--the most celebrated Brit-com of all time, and the show was voted the top UK television series ever by the British Film Institute. The snobbish, manic Basil.his over-coiffeured, domineering wife Sybil.the hopeless but ever-hopeful waiter Manuel.the calm and capable Polly.and of course the steady stream of abused guests--all live again in the pages of The Complete Fawlty Towers. Gahan Wilson in the New York Times has called John Cleese arguably one of the funniest people now living. And as one British periodical (Literary Review) put it, the book is superbly well written. If you're on a bus and can't see Basil Fawlty thrashing his car with a large branch, it is some compensation to read it happening. Or as one anonymous fan put it on-line: Yes, it's all here, all the comedy, the frustration, the dead body, even the rat. N° de réf. du vendeur 00102575149
