| And Did You Know....that while staying in Torquay at the Gleneagles Hotel with the Python team in 1971, John Cleese found inspiration for Fawlty Towers. Incidents during the Pythons' stay are said to include the owner, Donald Sinclair, throwing Eric Idle's suitcase out of the window, thinking it was a bomb. Cleese later described the eccentric owner as, "the most wonderfully rude man I have ever met", although Mr. Sinclair's widow has since said her husband was totally misrepresented in the comedy.
