Yes, it's finally happened. Fawlty Towers is getting a reboot. For decades, the very idea seemed unthinkable. Running for 12 episodes (two series of six episodes apiece) in 1975 and 1979, John Cleese and Connie Booth's Torquay-set comedy was a paragon of restraint. From the writing through to the performances, it was bottled lightning. Each episode was a classic. And then, after 1979, it was gone. No more. Decades later, the series would still be widely celebrated for this "quit while you're ahead" philosophy. Ricky Gervais, for instance, has often compared the decision to end The Office after two series to the precedent set by Cleese. To some extent, Fawlty Towers came to embody the UK's entire attitude towards TV, establishing one of its golden rules: less is more.
