It was while filming for Monty Python's Flying Circus in 1971 that John Cleese and the rest of the team chanced to stay at the Gleneagles hotel in Torquay, Devon. The Fawltys take a holiday and leave Polly and Manuel to run the place just as O'Reilly's builders come to redo the lobby. The series is set in Fawlty Towers, a fictional hotel in the seaside town of Torquay, on the "English Riviera".

Inexplicably the ailing establishment was run by a man who was completely inappropriate for hotel management. Along with the core characters, there were some regular bit parts, including long-term hotel guest Major Gowen (Ballard Berkeley), scatty Miss Tibbs (Gilly Flower) and Miss Gatsby (Renee Roberts) and, from the second series on, chef Terry (Brian Hall). The plots centre around tense, rude and put-upon owner Basil Fawlty, his bossy wife Sybil, a comparatively normal chambermaid Polly, and hapless Spanish waiter Manuel and their attempts to run the hotel amidst farcical situations and an array of demanding and eccentric guests. The visit inspired Cleese to create the classic 1970s sitcom Fawlty Towers. An confidence trickster comes to stay at the hotel, just after Basil has taken an ad in a posh magazine to upgrade the clientele. A selectively deaf woman named Mrs Richards insists that she has had a large amount of money stolen at the hotel, and against Sybil's wishes Basil puts a fiver on Dragonfly.
