Which regiment did The Major belong to?
The army regiment which Major Gowen served in is never mentioned in any of the episodes, and I can find no mention of his regiment in any books etc. But, Fawlty Towers viewers have solved this query.
What else was he/she in?
A lot of the guest stars in Fawlty Towers were in other TV programmes, some are mentioned in the episode guides on this site or e-mail me and see if I know. For example, one of O’Reilly’s builders was "Bullet Baxter" in kids school drama Grange Hill.
Why did they not make any more episodes of Fawlty Towers?
John Cleese and Connie Booth (the co-writers) decided they had taken Fawlty Towers as far as they could so they quit whilst they were ahead. It was not because they divorced — their divorce was in 1976, between series one and two. This split was relatively amicable and they went on to write the second series together. Some plots for a Fawlty Towers film were discussed but this never came to fruition.
Hope you enjoyed that interesting information
