I saw this on the news last night and thought it a hopeless idea, now I've read more I'm even more convinced it would never work.
The original Fawlty Towers (a mere 12 episodes in total if memory serves me right) was an absolute comedy classic of its time and a shining star of what can be done with the right characters in any given situation.
I just cannot see the wonderful comedic chemistry twixt all those characters being revitalised and being anything other than a total flop today.
We shall have to see!
