"Basil the Rat" definitely reached peak Fawlty Towers with how the characters were going back and forth trying to figure out which plate of meat was potentially poisoned and which was not, but it also really struggled to break free of the chaos like the show usually does. Usually every scene is not 100 mph, only the ones that call for it, and that was the magic of the show.
I get that this was the last episode, but this was a bit too much. The rat popping up in the box of biscuits and Basil almost casually throwing in the towel and asking if the inspector wanted a rat was the show at its best though.
