John Cleese

Fawlty Towers John Cleese

John Cleese, Prunella Scales, Connie Booth, and Andrew Sachs star in two BBC TV episodes, Mrs. Richards and Hotel Inspectors.

Mrs. Richards (Joan Richardson) is a little hard of hearing. She is also a very demanding guest: "the room is cold, the bath is too small, the view is invisible, and the radio doesn t work." Things pick up for Basil, though, after he secretly wins on the horses, but then Mrs. Richards discovers she s lost some money.

In Hotel Inspectors, Sybil drops a bombshell: there are some hotel inspectors in town. It s time for some courtesy, especially when the irritating Mr. Hutchison (Bernard Cribbins) reveals he has a wide experience of hotels.
