The production company listed for Fawlty Towers is the BBC. The series was a BBC television production and originally aired on BBC Two, making the BBC both its producing organisation in the listing and its original network.
Fawlty Towers was created by John Cleese and Connie Booth, who also wrote the scripts. The programme follows Basil Fawlty, an anxious and snobbish hotel proprietor whose attempts to maintain social respectability repeatedly collapse into farce.
Although the fictional hotel is in Torquay, Devon, the exterior location was Wooburn Grange Country Club in Wooburn Green, Buckinghamshire. Most other location filming took place around Harrow. That setting detail can cause confusion: the programme’s fictional hotel location is not its production company, and the exterior building was not a BBC-owned hotel.
The alternatives are also misleading because Granada, Thames and ITV were separate British television organisations, not the company listed for this series.
