The shrill summons from 'the beast of Torquay' can only mean one thing - the most famous hotel in the history of comedy is once more serving its classic recipe for howls of helpless laughter. So here they are again - snobbish, boorish, disaster-prone Basil Fawlty, his vulgarly genteel wife Sybil, their cackhanded Spanish waiter Manuel and unflappable maid-of-all-work Polly. Together they ensure the funniest, best-loved sit-com of all time, a timeless masterpiece of frantic farce.

Pete was born in Warrington to an Irish mother and an English father and spent happy summer holidays in Cork. Years later, reflecting on the many places he has visited as a travel broadcaster, Pete admits that he feels more at home in Ireland than anywhere.
