Actor John Cleese has given his surprising verdict on beloved show Fawlty Towers Appearing on BBC Morning Live, John candidly reflected on the unexpected success of the hit sitcom, saying: "I always thought, because I'd left Monty Python, that I'd done everything I needed or wanted to do there, I wanted to write something with Connie Booth because we had such an identical sense of humour.” “I never thought it would match Python in terms of audience popularity and actually in a funny kind of way it has an even bigger audience, especially in the UK. “I don't think you ever know when you start on something whether it is going to be successful or not, the audience tells you, but it takes time.
"The original Fawlty Towers reviews were not good, but eventually they came round.".
