Fawlty Towers by Graham Mccann
Fawlty Towers was only on our screens for 12 half-hour episodes, but it has stayed in our lives ever since. The Major; 'Don't mention the war!'; 'He's from Barcelona'; Basil the Rat -- everyone has a favourite line, moment or character. In this, the first biography of the show, Graham McCann holds up to the light each of the unpredictable elements - the demented brilliance of John Cleese, his creative partnership with Connie Booth - that added up to an immortal sitcom, beloved all over the world, even in Barcelona.
'A tragi-comedy of creative tension, personality conflict, endearing characters and enduring catch phrases' -- The Times on Spike & Co 'You will laugh, you will learn, and you will, undoubtedly, start speaking in a silly voice' -- Word on Spike & Co 'A hugely entertaining read' -- Daily Telegraph on Dad's Army 'Excellent. All but essential' -- Time Out on Dad's Army
Graham McCann is the most admired entertainment writer at work in the UK today. He is the critically acclaimed and best-selling author of books on Dad's Army, Frankie Howerd, Morecambe & Wise and Cary Grant. His most recent books, THE ESSENTIAL DAVE ALLEN and SPIKE & CO, are published by Hodder.
