It would have been unrealistic for a man of Basil's age and background at that time to have been a lentil-munching leftie - Fawlty is only a fictitious character :wink2: - the joke was on him, not the Germans.

It was just a temporary change as a mark of respect to the great man.

4 years between the series, very unusual back then. I mind seeing Cleese interviewed saying he thought series 2 was better.

I think only one series was initially intended but after it was screened people who worked in hotels would approach him telling him stories of rats in kitchens and dead bodies in bedrooms etc. The material was too good for him not to use.
