Basil is convinced several guests are engaging in inappropriate behaviour inside the hotel.
This episode is one of the best sexually themed comedies I have ever seen. Most of the jokes revolve around characters hilariously misinterpreting situations where sex is not actually happening.
As you can imagine Basil has a puritanical view on the subject that is driven by the frustration of his own marriage. This leads him to all manner of outrageous behaviour including spying on his guests, jumping to conclusions and ironically being in a number of seemingly compromising positions.
There are a number of classic moments, probably the standout part for me is when Basil believes an amorous French lady to be outside his bedroom door when it is in fact Cybil. The way he gets himself out of trouble here is brilliant.
John Cleese gives another incredible performance and is supported well by the regular cast, particularly Andrew Sachs as a drunk Manuel celebrating his birthday.
