John Cleese has said the reboot will be 'hugely different' from the original. The Monty Python star, 83, told GB News there will be a lot of 'open-air' scenes which the original series 'never got'.
The original show, written by John and Connie Booth, ran on BBC Two for two series in 1975 and 1979. It followed the unfortunate exploits of highly-strung Torquay hotelier Basil Fawlty, played by John, and his wife Sybil, portrayed by Prunella Scales, as they tried to keep their hotel and marriage afloat.
It was confirmed earlier this year that John and his daughter, Camilla Cleese, would be rebooting the show. The new series will explore how the dramatic and cynical Basil navigates the modern world.
It will also see Basil, and a daughter he has just discovered is his, team up to run a boutique hotel. Actor Rob Reiner, his wife and actress Michele Reiner, director and producer Matthew George and Derrick Rossi are executive producers.
