Basil is terrified by the news that hotel inspectors are in the area - and well he might be. The awful possibility occurs to him that the eccentric guest to whom he has been so appallingly offensive may be one of the officials. His ranting turns to a pathetic fawning - but has he got the right man? |

Memorable Moments:
Mr Hutchinson: There is a documentary on BBC 2 this evening about 'Squaking Bird,' the leader of the Blackfoot Indians in the 1860s. Now this starts at 8.45 and goes on for approximately three quarters of an hour...
Basil: I'm sorry, are you talking to me?
Mr Hutchinson: Indeed I am, yes. Now, is it possible for me to reserve the BBC 2 channel for the duration of this televisual feast?
Basil: Why don't you talk properly?
Basil: I'm so sorry, he's from Barcelona.
