Fawlty Towers: The Kipper and the Corpse

Now you all know that running a hotel is not an easy task!

Enjoy this classic scene from The Kipper and the Corpse:
One of the guests has died in his bed during the night. Basil thinks the kippers (which should have been thrown out weeks ago) might be responsible. Basil tries to hide the kippers from the doctor; then Basil, Polly and Manuel try to hide the body in the cupboard. But things get far more complicated...


Sybil: What were you talking to him Basil, car strikes, was it? Basil: Thank you, Sybil. Dr Price:I don't understand, he's been dead for about 10 hours. Basil: Yes it's so final isn't it. Sybil: Basil! Basil: Well, wouldn't you say it was final dear, I'd say it's pretty bloody final. Dr Price: You mean to tell me you didn't realise this man was dead! Basil: Well, people don't talk that much in the morning. Look, I'm just delivering a tray, right. If the guest isn't singing "Oh What a Beautiful Morning" I don't immediately think: "Oh, there's another snuffed it in the night. Another name in the "Fawlty Towers Book of Remembrance". I mean this is a hotel, not a Burma railway!
-
Basil: What are you looking at me like that for? Sybil: Basil, there's a kipper sticking out of your jumper.
-
Basil: Good morning, good morning. Miss Gatsby: Oh, you're very cheerful this morning, Mr Fawlty. Basil: Yes, well one of the guests has just died.
-
Basil: Oh spiffing, absolutely spiffing... Two dead, twenty- five to go!
-
Basil: (to Miss Tibbs) Now I've warned you about this before! You can hide in your own cupboard but not in other people's!
-
Miss Tibbs: He's dead! Basil: (to the guests) Yes, it's her husband, she hasn't got over it. He died thirty years ago.
-
Miss Tibbs: In the cupboard! Basil: No more today! You've had enough!
