A slight divergance from the usual silver-screen musings, but when you're dealing with one of - if not the - greatest British sit-coms of all time it's pretty easy to make an exception. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the comedy classic Fawlty Towers, the BBC have released a deluxe special edition box set featuring fully restored episodes from the original masters, along with new bonus material including John Cleese commentaries, cast interviews and more. The region 1 DVD is available through BBCAmericaShop.com, while in the UK HMV have the set for £12.99 with free delivery.

Fans everywhere can also join the celebration on Facebook by entering the accompanying lookalike contest and share their love of Fawlty Towers with the world. John Cleese himself will be selecting the winners, with prizes including signed DVDs and lots of other goodies. Go to the Facebook fan page to make your reservation today!
