5.0 out of 5 stars Hug your Fawlty book, 19 Oct 1999
By A Customer
Why on earth would anyone want to read this book when you can have the real thing on video? Well, quite frankly, any true fan of John Cleese should have a copy of this book to at least be able to reach out for it in need. In need of finding the pun you have just forgotten, in need of reading over the scene with Mrs Richards, in need of visualizing the scene in which Manuel remains the "boss" of the hotel... These needs could be multiplied. And of course there are situations when you don't have your video and TV with, but you can always hug this magnificent script and laugh until tears wet your eyes... Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Outrageously funny, 8 Jan 2000
By A Customer
I bought this book as a gift, but I couldn't help but dip into it myself. Once you immerse yourself in the escapades of this hotel madhouse, it's impossible to let go. Events cascade in a an impeccably logical and humorously horrific torrent, until poor Basil the hotel owner generally ends up losing his marbles. The characters truly come to life in a very special way: Sybil, Basil's long-suffering wife, Manual, the waiter from Barcelona who has yet to master the English language, the slightly dotty Major, a guest in the hotel, and other regular players. Single episode appearances from comic geniuses such as the Rat. Brilliant comic writing from Cleese and the pretty Connie Booth - I've ordered my own copy, and the gift copy that no longer quite lies flat on the table has left to fill someone else's heart with laughter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb scripts and brilliantly funny on the page as well, 28 May 2008
By Mr W (Manchester, England) - See all my reviews
This is wonderful comedy and exploits the situations ruthlessly and to great effect. These scripts took several times longer to write than the average sitcom and it shows. An ideal toilet book too, perfect for long dumps on a summer's evening.
