Basil Fawlty’s classic comedy moment

Basil Fawlty’s frustration reaches fever pitch when his car breaks down in an episode of the BBC comedy Fawlty Towers.

The subsequent attack on his vehicle by the hotelier, played by John Cleese, is a reaction we can probably all sympathise with.

While most motorists would not go so far as to batter their broken-down cars, this clip from the hit comedy show is an all-time favourite for many.
