The bathroom light isn’t working 💡, and while she stretches her neck against the wall 🙆‍♀️, Basil reaches around the corner… and mistakes her breast for the light switch. 😳 At that very moment, Sybil walks in 🚪—and the chaos is pure comic perfection. 🎬 Written by John Cleese & Connie Booth, Fawlty Towers
