But because he's loud and demanding, he actually stands up to Basil's poor service and treatment, and inspires the other (British) guests to do so (they were shown at the beginning of the episode being dissatisfied, but didn't want to complain because they didn't want to be seen as rude). In the 2009 commentary on the DVD, John Cleese said that he agreed with Mr. Hamilton, and that sometimes you have to complain before things can get better.

This one is in town for the regatta, though, at which Basil brightens up considerably, and disappears. He appears minutes later to thoroughly humiliate the first guest (who's leaving in disgust), in full view of the real inspectors who have just arrived.

Basil himself does have a point when he complains about the guests, as some of them really are as obnoxious and unpleasant as he is. Then again, it's part of his job to put up with difficult people. This means that while Polly, Manuel, and even Sybil usually agree with Basil that some of the guests are awful people, they can't find themselves on Basil's side because of his schemes for petty vengeance.

[4] The popularity of Fawlty Towers has endured, and it is often re-broadcast. [2] The BBC profile for the series states that "the British sitcom by which all other British sitcoms must be judged, Fawlty Towers withstands multiple viewings, is eminently quotable (' don't mention the war') and stands up to this day as a jewel in the BBC's comedy crown."
