What is the name of the chef introduced in the second series of Fawlty Towers?

The chef introduced in the second series of Fawlty Towers is Terry Hughes.

Terry, played by Brian Hall, becomes the hotel’s regular chef throughout the six-episode second series, broadcast in 1979. His arrival expands the hotel staff beyond Basil, Sybil, Polly and Manuel, giving the kitchen its own source of conflict and comic chaos.

Terry is presented as a Cockney chef who takes pride in his professional training, even while showing a notably relaxed attitude toward hygiene and culinary standards. His rivalry with Manuel becomes especially prominent in “The Anniversary”, when the two clash over cooking a paella.

A common mix-up is Kurt, another chef mentioned in the series. Kurt is a short-lived earlier chef, whereas Terry is the recurring chef introduced for series two. Terry was played by Brian Hall, but the character’s name is Terry Hughes.
