Shrinking the turkey, missing Xmas due to flight delays, snowstorms and time differences… Eating from McDonalds… Remember that time the table collapsed? – it was during the Christmas dinner… Thanks to all of you for sharing your #FaultyXmas stories on Facebook and Twitter. We had great fun reading them and now send congratulations to our winner, twitter follower @Karla Marx who had to spend Xmas alone with a six-pack of Wotsits… Now she and three friends can enjoy a 3-course Dining Experience, Faulty Towers style, hosted by Basil, Sybil and Manuel at The Torquay Suite Theatre – our London West End residency at Amba Hotel Charing Cross!

A masterpiece from an audience memeber at Charing Cross this week (featuring Corin Stuart as Basil). Uncanny!

Tweet of the week is from Michael Jarvis (@MikePJarvis), who saw the show at our London West End residency at the Charing Cross Hotel. We’d be nervous if we saw Manuel with that many bowls too!
