Fawlty Towers: A Very British Comedy

Created by John Cleese and Connie Booth, Fawlty Towers reached heights of popularity few shows at the time could rival. So, why does it only exist in a recut, sanitised and edited form, with some of the original scenes deleted? This programme looks at controversies surrounding the classic comedy, examining its sometimes uncomfortable place in the modern world, using deleted scenes and archival interviews to piece together the story of how a sitcom that seemed untouchable in the 1970s came to be viewed through a more critical lens.
