Fawlty Towers
31st January - 7th February 2015
CODS present three episode of the British Sitcom:
The Hotel Inspector
When Basil hears of hotel inspectors roaming Torquay incognito, he realizes with horror that guests he has been abusing could easily be one of them. Basil becomes increasingly obsessed with trying to determine which guests are the inspectors, but to his frustration his suspicions continue to be incorrect.
Communication Problems
The arrival of the 'guest from hell' – Mrs. Richards, a rather deaf, dotty and bad-tempered woman – interferes with Basil's attempts to prevent the money he won on a racehorse from being discovered by Sybil, who disapproves of gambling.
Waldorf Salad
Basil is not altogether keen on a loud and demanding American guest who demands a higher class of service – and food – than Fawlty Towers is accustomed to providing. Basil soon learns the American guest will not tolerate any shenanigans.
