Remaking Fawlty Towers for the Germans Sadly seems like high hopes were dashed. http://www.theguardian.com/culture/2001/jul/10/artsfeatures2 "In 2001, RTL produced the pilot for a German version of Fawlty Towers with the name for the last cliff . Jochen Busse took the part of the hotel owner , while his wife was played by Claudia Rieschel . The plot was moved to the island of Sylt , but reused content was heavily based on the first episode of Fawlty Towers A Touch of Class. The planned series that should be followed by the pilot , has not been realized." Igor!!!
