Where Is Basil?
Where Is Basil? is a community-building project. The goal is to send the Fawlty Towers DVD Collection around the globe, to whoever wants it. A person can sign up on the site and someone will ship them the DVDs with a postcard and tourist-trinket from their location. Each person gets to watch the DVDs for 1 week and then pass them on to the next person on the list. It's purely for fun, meeting people and spreading some of the classic humor that is Fawlty Towers.
