Fan-Cast: American Remake of Fawlty Towers

“Don’t mention the fan-cast, I did it once but I think I got away with it!”

We’re back with yet another American fan-cast makeover for a much loved British sitcom. This time around, we’re headed to Torquay for a peek inside Fawlty Towers.

The sitcom ran for two series, following the lives of married couple/hotel managers Basil and Sybil Fawlty, maid Polly and waiter/bell-boy Manuel. The question is, how would this show translate if remade across the pond?

Here is a clip of one of Basil Fawlty’s classic flip outs, with this one coming from the very first episode:
