1: Fawlty Towers
Number 1 in the Comedy/Variety category
A brilliantly written, savage farce following the manic misadventures of a pompous, xenophobic, henpecked Torquay hotelier. Every minute of each half-hour was crammed with plot development, character-led exchanges or frantic activity. The combination of a traditional sitcom setting and biting Pythonesque wit made Fawlty Towers, which ran for two series, a massive, international success. DF
