12 Best British Sitcoms Of All Time

12. Fawlty Towers

On of the many comedy geniuses hailing from the British Isles can be found in John Cleese. Known widely for his roles in the Monty Python films, and voicing The King in the Shrek movies, one of his greatest roles will always be Basil Fawlty.

Fawlty Towers follows the eccentric owner of a hotel, the aforementioned Basil Fawlty, and the hilarious set of characters that darken the door of the eponymous hotel. Even though it only ran for twelve episodes it definitely made its mark, and has since become one of the best examples of true British comedy, thanks to its straightforward humour, razor-sharp wit, and slapstick stylings.
