Not wanting to seem weak, the eldest brother reluctantly agreed to have a go, only to find himself lost in the air for over twelve hours. Which British sitcom aired these hilarious scenes? Hint

Answer: Fawlty Towers

In the second episode of "Fawlty Towers", Basil and Sybil went on holiday, leaving Polly and Manuel in charge of the hotel. Taking his cue from Basil, who was notoriously rude to people on the phone, Manuel did the same.

As Basil had employed a shifty builder to make some changes to the hotel, he had been attempting to check up on his progress. However in true Basil Fawlty style, he turned on his hapless employee, taking his revenge by tricking him into insulting Lurphy, (one of the builders), which ended with poor old Manuel getting punched in the face.
