FOR 44 years, the duck was well and truly off. But now Fawlty Towers is set to return to our screens. While this has made many ask “Que?”, there’s others that are doing the funny walk in glee at the idea of John Cleese’s hysterical hotelier being back behind the front desk.

Here, our TV experts answer whether the reboot - co-written by John's daughter Camilla Cleese - is a good idea, and we see what happened to the original crew.

So grab a Waldorf salad and enjoy. Just don’t mention the war. No, says Ally Ross, Sun TV Critic REMEMBER the 2016 reboot of Porridge with Kevin Bishop as Fletch?

Hopefully not. It was written by the geniuses behind the original, Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais, but in all other respects bore about as much resemblance to the original as Prisoner: Cell Block H.
