John Cleese to revive comedy Fawlty Towers with daughter
Camilla Cleese is the daughter of John Cleese and Barbara Trentham, the late American model and actress.
The new series will see actor Rob Reiner, his wife and actress Michelle Reiner, director and producer Matthew George and Derrick Rossi all act as executive producers. "I've watched the first two seasons so many times I have lost count," he said. "I dreamed of one day being involved in a continuation of the story. Now it's come true."
The show was remade in the US three times, but all failed; and in 2009 Cleese said there would never be another series with the original cast.
