Take a trip down memory lane to reminisce and enjoy the story of Fawlty Towers, which is set in Torquay.
This show is a timeless comedy classic. 50 years ago, the first episode was shown on BBC2, featuring 4 unforgettable characters - Basil, Sybil, Manuel & Polly - who worked at the most chaotic hotel in Torquay!
Surprisingly, there were only 12 episodes, but the show has proven to be successful across the world, attracting guests from America, Australia, Poland, Finland, Iceland and even Germany! In fact, Fawlty Towers is one of the BBC's biggest exports.
Along the 90 minute tour, guests will be taken on a trip down memory lane and encouraged to recreate some of the funniest scenes. There are plenty of laugh-out-loud moments along the way and lots of great photo opportunities!
Guests will discover how a stay at a Torquay hotel gave John Cleese and Connie Booth the idea to write Fawlty Towers.
Hear how each of the characters were created and about the locations where the programme was filmed. Find out where the writers John Cleese and Connie Booth found their inspiration for plots. We'll even talk about the hotel's sign posts and who was responsible for changing them!
Guests will be discouraged from goose-stepping and mentioning the war! En route, look out for Sydney Opera House and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon!
We'll talk about the new Fawlty Towers play in London and the dining experiences, which are taking place in Torquay!
And, at the end of the tour, we finish with an entertaining Fawlty Towers quiz - but beware of Basil the rat who might make an unexpected appearance!
