Thanks Mart! No one could do a "meltdown" like Basil Fawlty! I didn't know the bit about Cleese being married to Connie Booth at the time. I remember on the show when Basil was looking at Polly's sketchbook and answered the phone "Fawlty *******"! They never would have gotten away with that on US tv.
Andrew Sachs was great as Manuel too. According to IMDB, he was actually injured once while filming the show and sued the BBC!
