Fawlty Towers: Re-opened

Sunday 10th May at 9pm

To help celebrate its 30th anniversary, G.O.L.D. is throwing open the doors of TV's most famous hotel once more after a lengthy absence.

New and exclusive, Fawlty Towers: Re-opened gathers cast and crew together to retrace the history of the sitcom from a rarely seen insider point of view. The one-off special leaves no English Riviera stone unturned in its search for trivia and nuggets of information from the Fawlty Towers guestbook, together with in-depth interviews with John Cleese, Andrew Sachs and Prunella Scales, as well as Connie Booth talking about her memories from the show for the first time in 30 years. Just don't mention the war.

Plus, on Sunday 17th May at 9pm, we've got another Fawlty Exclusive - Basil's Best Bits - where we look into the Fawlty archives to find some the series' funniest and best-remembered clips.

Reminiscing about these magic moments, cast and crew are joined by Fawlty fanatics and followers like Michael Palin, Terry Jones, David Mitchell, Robert Webb, Eddie Izzard, AA Gill, the Mayor of Torquay and the owners of Gleneagles Hotel (the real-life inspiration for Fawlty Towers). With the best clips from the archives, Basil's Best Bits helps to relive old memories as well as show a new generation of sitcom lovers why, even today, Fawlty Towers is still comedy gold.

Plus, catch the complete Fawlty Towers Series 1 Monday 11th-Saturday 16th May at 9pm. And double bills of Fawlty Towers Series 2 , Monday 18th-Wednesday 20th May at 9pm.
