The important people in the video are: BASIL FAWLTY: the owner/manager of the hotel; he is incredibly class-conscious SYBIL FAWLTY: co-owner/manager of the hotel, Basil's wife; Sybil associates with the guests and seems to spend more time on the telephone with her friend Audrey than actually helping out in the hotel POLLY: waitress/receptionist/chambermaid; widely acknowledged as 'the sensible one' MANUEL: waiter/porter from Barcelona hired by Basil because he was cheap; Manuel is a walking disaster and his poor command of English makes him a constant source of exasperation for Basil; always keen to learn, Manuel's slavish devotion to Basil only succeeds in aggravating him further THE MAYOR: a permanent resident at the hotel; usually to be found in the hotel bar or asking for the morning's papers and never quite understanding what is going on; he is constantly adding his own bizarre interpretations of the situation THE LADIES: Miss Gatsby and Miss Tibbs, the other long-standing residents of Fawlty Towers although they appear relatively little (Handout II) BEFORE YOU WATCH: I.
