Trivia
John Cleese plays an emotionally beleaguered chef called Mungo in a Monty Python's Flying Circus (1969) sketch, and one of the things he gets emotional over is the waiter's struggle with a wound similar to Basil Fawlty's.
Quotes
Basil Fawlty:
You'll have to forgive him. He's from Barcelona.
Goofs
Many times through every episode, the walls wobble, revealing them as set walls.
Crazy Credits
The Fawlty Towers hotel sign has its letters missing, or scrambled up to make new words. The sign presents a different error with each episode.

For German TV-runs the main-theme was changed to "funnier" music.
