Fawlty Towers and a Surprise

A select group of theatre-goers gathered for the ‘greatest British sitcom of all time’ (Radio Times). 

Starring Adam Jackson-Smith as the inimitable Basil, Anna-Jane Casey as the iconic Sybil, and Paul Nicholas as the bumbling Major, the 18-strong cast took on the iconic characters at Torquay’s most chaotic hotel. The packed audience delighted in the goings-on of the much-loved characters of yesteryear as we watched some of the favourite scenes of the sitcom's unforgettable 12 episodes. The consensus of the group was that it had been a great and not-to-be missed show for anyone thinking of going along.

It was at the suggestion of one of the group, to whom our thanks, that we organised the trip. 

And the surprise? One of those (an OE) who joined us came along as a surprise for his mum (an OE) who was suitably amazed when he appeared. The secret had stayed safe.

So, job done.
