Speaking Of Reboots: John Cleese Plans To Bring Back Fawlty Towers

Not only will John Cleese be in the new version, but he's enlisted Rob "Meathead" Reiner as one of the producers. 

Like the Frasier renewal, there are a lot of questions surrounding this comeback - like whether it will tarnish the brilliant regard in which the original is held by so many fans. 

"The new Fawlty Towers is set to explore how Cleese’s cynical, over-the-top and misanthropic Basil Fawlty navigates the modern world. With plot details largely under wraps, the series will explore the relationship between Basil and a daughter he has just discovered he had as the two tempt fate and team up to run a boutique hotel."

No word yet on exactly when you might get to see it or who will be showing it. I guess we'll all be wait-ers. So, go and be a wait-er in there!
