It’s time to check in to Fawlty Towers once more. More than 40 years after the original series has ended, John Cleese is rebooting Fawlty Towers alongside his real-life daughter Camilla Cleese, who will star as Basil Fawlty’s estranged daughter. Besides the premise that the two will team up to run a boutique hotel, little is known about the project, like who would play Camilla’s mother and who else from the original series may return. John co-created and starred in the original two-season program with his first wife, Connie Booth, who played the waitress Polly Sherman; however, she has retired from acting since 1995. His onscreen wife, Prunella Scales, continues to act and reprised her role as Sybil Faulty for a charity event in 2007. If the reboot is gonna be anything like John’s Twitter rants, it will definitely be … interesting.
