Hotel that led to Fawlty Towers way

The Gleneagles Hotel in Torquay in England goes against the plain.

Owner of the Gleneagles Hotel was at Donald Sinclair. His way of doings brought Cleese and his then wife Connie Booth (who plays waitress in the series) to the idea of ​​the hotel series. Fawlty Towers made ​​twelve episodes. Cleese described Sinclair, who sold the hotel in 1973, as " the most wonderfully rude man I have ever met ".
