Fawlty Towers

The Fawltys take a holiday and leave Polly and Manuel to run the place just as OReillys builders come to redo the lobby.

Some inspectors are in town and Basil gets paranoid, so he alternately fawns over and offends his guests.

Sybil goes into the hospital for toe surgery, leaving Basil to cope with a fire drill single-handed. After a couple of blows on the head, Basil tells some German guests where Germany went wrong in WWII.

A psychiatrist and his wife come to stay and Basil thinks Sybil is telling them all about his life.

Unknown to Basil, a guest dies in the night and he tries to serve him breakfast anyway and an obnoxious woman insists on service for her dog.

The health inspector is coming and Basil tells Manuel to get rid of his pet rat, which he later finds out is named Basil.
