5.0 out of 5 stars
Three Gems, October 22, 1999
When you think they only made 12 episodes, and that John Cleese and Connie Booth took months to write them, you begin to understand why Fawlty Towers is one of the greatest sitcoms of all time. The new releases are very nice, and these three are keepers (If only they would have ditched The Anniversary and put The Germans on this tape, it would have been proof of a greater power) All three are great episodes, but I must admit that I think "Basil The Rat" is the most perfectly conceived episode of television comedy EVER put to film, (Sorry, Chuckles the Clown, the Turkey Drop and The Contest) After watching this tape, you too will be glad that Franco did not have them all shot.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Brilliant!, August 26, 2000
This tape contains the three episodes »Communication Problems«, »The Anniversary«, and »Basil The Rat«. All three episodes are among the best in the two »Fawlty Towers« series! The interesting thing is that Basil Fawlty shows a softer (however in no way sentimental) side of himself, especially in the first two episodes. This does not make him less funny, in contrary, it gives his character something extra. Really great. If you only want one »Fawlty Towers« tape, this is the one!
