The psychiatrist (WATERY FOWLS) A psychiatrist and his wife -- also a doctor -- come to the hotel for a weekend break, and cannot help but notice the eccentricities of their host who is perturbed when he discovers their professions. An attractive Australian girl (Luan Peters) also visits. She goes on to have certain awkward interactions with Fawlty as he seeks to catch Mr. Johnson (Nicky Henson) with a non-paying guest that Johnson has in his bedroom. Featuring: Basil Henson and Elspet Gray as Mr. and Mrs. Abbott, Nicky Henson as Mr. Johnson and Luan Peters as Raylene Miles. Waldorf salad (FLAY OTTERS) Basil is not altogether keen on a loud and demanding American guest who demands a higher class of service -- and food -- than Fawlty Towers is accustomed to providing. Basil soon learns the American guest will not tolerate any shenanigans. The kipper and the corpse (FATTY OWLS) A guest dies at the hotel and Basil and the staff are left with the unpleasant task of discreetly removing the body while the doctor staying at the hotel waits for his sausages. Also, Polly and Manuel feed an elderly woman's pampered pet dog some extra spicy sausages after it bites them both. The anniversary (FLOWERY TWATS) Basil invites some friends over for a surprise party to mark his and Sybil's wedding anniversary. Sybil has been assuming he has forgotten, and Basil does nothing to dissuade her. She storms off, leaving Basil and Polly, in disguise as Sybil, desperately telling the others she is "ill." Meanwhile, Manuel and Terry bitterly quarrel over who will make the seafood paella Basil had permitted Manuel to cook for the occasion. Basil the rat (FARTY TOWELS) The local health inspector issues a long list of hygienic aberrations the staff must immediately sort out, or else the hotel will face closure. After Manuel's pet rat escapes from his cage and runs loose in the hotel, the staff must catch it before the inspector finds it. At the same time, they must try to discern which veal cutlets are safe to eat after one covered in rat poison gets mixed up with the others and almost every subsequent guest orders veal. | ||
