Fawlty Towers John Cleese

John Cleese, Prunella Scales, Connie Booth, and Andrew Sachs star in two BBC TV episodes, The Rat and The Builders.

In The Rat, the hotel faces closure due to lack of cleanliness and two dead pig-ee-ons in the water tank. Basil, Sybil, and the staff have until the health inspector returns tomorrow to sort out all the problems. First, Basil has to get rid of Manuel s hamster.

Basil and Sybil have the weekend off in The Builders and leave Polly in charge. But it s O Reilly s men that are coming, and Polly goes upstairs for a siesta which leaves Manuel in charge.
