The signs

In the opening titles of each episode, the letters on the Fawlty Towers sign began to go missing and then in later episodes rearranged into partial anagrams of Fawlty Towers. Almost every other Fawlty Towers website has them, so here they are…

Series Two

Sign for episode seven

Episode Seven: Communication Problems. The "L" hanging down, "S" missing (exactly the same as episode two).

Sign for episode eight

Episode Eight: The Psychiatrist. A young boy is seen tampering with the sign as the episode begins, then he moves away to reveal "Watery Fowls"

Sign for episode nine

Episode Nine: Waldorf Salad. The letters have been rearranged to spell "Flay Otters"

Sign for episode ten

Episode Ten: The Kipper and The Corpse. The letters have been rearranged to spell "Fatty Owls"

Sign for episode eleven

Episode Eleven: The Anniversary. The letters have been rearranged to spell "Flowery Twats". At last, a true anagram of Fawlty Towers! It is surprising they got this one past the broadcasting censors. If you don't know what I'm talking about, go look up twats. In a dictionary.

Sign for episode twelve

Episode Twelve: Basil The Rat. The letters have been rearranged to spell "Farty Towels"
