Which Fawlty Towers episode first aired on 26 February 1979? It was “The Psychiatrist”.

“The Psychiatrist” is the second episode of the sitcom’s second series and was broadcast on BBC Two on Monday, 26 February 1979. It follows “Communication Problems”, which aired one week earlier, and precedes “Waldorf Salad”, first shown on 5 March.

The story makes Basil especially anxious when a married couple staying at the hotel reveal that one of them is a psychiatrist. At the same time, Basil becomes suspicious of another guest and tries to catch him with a woman in his room, producing the episode’s characteristic mixture of paranoia, intrusion and social embarrassment.

The date can be misremembered because the second series’ episode order is often listed separately from the 1975 first series. “The Anniversary” aired later in March, while “Communication Problems” was the 19 February opener; neither was shown on 26 February.
