Synopsis: Inept and manic English hotel owner and manager, Basil Fawlty, isn't cut out for his job. He's intolerant, rude and paranoid.

What did you use? An Rsj? No, four by two.

Not bad, eh, dear? And not expensive.

I mean, for the Lintel.

Did you use an Rsj? You know, and iron girder? Or did you use a concrete lintel? No, a wooden one.

But that's a supporting wall.

What? Thanks very much for coming over this morning Just a minute.

That isn't strong enough? That's a supporting wall, Mrs.

Fawlty.

It could give way at any moment.

Any moment? God help the floors above.

Keep this door shut until I can get a screwjack to prop it up before the lot comes down.

Cowboys.

Basil? Basil?! Basil! Where are you going? I'm going to see Mr.

O'Reilly, dear.

Then I think I might go to Canada.
