A dozen episodes is all it took for Fawlty Towers to become a classic TV show. In a list compiled by the British Film Institute in 2000, the chaotic sitcom topped the list, beating out the likes of Catchy Come Home, Doctor Who, Monty Python’s Flying Circus and Parkinson. In 1997, Faulty Towers the Dining Experience debuted in Brisbane. Today, eight teams of casts tour the world, bringing Basil, Cybil and Manuel into your dining room. What you get is a three-course meal and a two-hour largely improvised show. Ballarat Golf Club, Ballarat – June 17 & The Newnorthern, Castlemaine – June 18. The local cast features Karen Hamilton (Sybil), Geoffrey Reczek (Manuel) and Ron Kelly (Basil).
