For fans of Fawlty Towers–that supremely unforgettable send-up of hotel life in a small town in Cornwall–“The Hotel Inspectors” remains one of its funniest episodes.

As usual, the brilliantly manic general manager, Basil Fawlty, essayed by John Cleese, gets it all wrong, pandering to a guest whom he mistakes as a hospitality rater. Discovering his faux pas in the end, he boots the unwitting fellow out, but not before smashing two pies in his face and pouring milk into his briefcase. Then, he ambles over to the reception counter to face three officious-looking gentlemen, who have witnessed the spectacle. He emits a blood-curdling scream–they are the inspectors.
