Who produced Fawlty Towers alongside John Howard Davies?

Fawlty Towers was produced alongside John Howard Davies by Douglas Argent.

Davies and Argent shared producer credits on the sitcom’s two BBC series, which together contain only 12 episodes. Davies also directed episodes, while Argent’s production role helped bring John Cleese and Connie Booth’s tightly constructed scripts to television.

The programme was made for BBC Two and originally aired in 1975 and 1979. Its small episode count reflected the painstaking writing and production process, as well as Cleese and Booth’s decision not to continue after the second series.

Several names in the answer choices are connected with the programme but have different roles. Bob Spiers directed the second series, Jimmy Gilbert was a television producer associated with other BBC work, and Dennis Wilson composed the theme music. Douglas Argent is the credited co-producer, not the director or composer.
