Fawlty Towers (Vintage Beeb)

Two episodes from the classic BBC sitcom. In Mrs Richards, the titular lady (Joan Sanderson) is a little hard of hearing. She is also a very demanding guest: "the room is cold, the bath is too small, the view is invisible and the radio doesn't work." Things pick up for Basil, though, after he secretly wins on the horses, but then Mrs. Richards discovers she's lost some money. In Hotel Inspectors, Sybil drops a bombshell: there are some hotel inspectors in town. It's time for some courtesy, especially when the irritating Mr. Hutchison (Bernard Cribbins) reveals he has a wide experience of hotels. . . Vintage Beeb: classic albums first available as BBC LPs, now on CD for the first time ever. This recording was previously released on LP in 1979. NB: Due to the age of the source material, the sound quality may vary.
