I've checked, but I don't think there is a thread on this already.
In your book, who was the best guest to check into Fawlty Towers? My favourite was Mrs. Richards from 'Communication Problems'.
Fawlty Towers: Best Guest
That'll be Bernard Cribbins!
Geoffrey Palmer put on a terribly good show.

Agreed. Also Lord Melbury.
All of the above!
Loved Bernard Cribbins. Peas are an integral part of the overall flavour.
Or something. 
The flashy git who turned out to be a policeman scared me when I was little.

Lord Melbury.
Basil was great when he was checking in.

I was going to say him but he wasn't a hotel guest, only a guest at Basil's do.
Well Geoffrey Palmer wasn't a guest either. I decided to use guest in the sense of a guest appearance. With the whole hotel thing being a pun.

I thought he was a guest. Why was he in the restaurant ordering breakfast? Did he just turn up to sign a death certificate?

Was he? Oh bugger. Oh well. Still did it for me.

Yep.
As far as I remember, anyway.

Ah, probably why he didn't scare me!
Is this off-topic now?
