Manuel (Fawlty Towers)
Manuel is a fictional character from the BBC sitcom ''Fawlty Towers'', played by Andrew Sachs. He reappeared for a small sketch with John Cleese in ''We Are Most Amused'' in November 2008. Manuel himself appeared on the audio adaptations of ''Fawlty Towers'' as a linking narrator, explaining things from his point of view, when the series was released in audio format.

He is afraid of Basi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Manuel I Komnenos ( el, Μανουήλ Α' Κομνηνός; 28 November 1118 – 24 September 1180), Latinized ''Comnenus'', also called Porphyrogennetos (" born in the purple"), was a Byzantine emperor of the 12th century who reigned over a crucial turning point in the history of Byzantium and the Mediterranean. His reign saw the last flowering of the Komnenian restoration, during which the Byzantine Empire had seen a resurgence of its military and economic power, and had enjoyed a cultural revival. Eager to restore his empire to its past glories as the superpower of the Mediterranean world, Manuel pursued an energetic and ambitious foreign policy. In the process he made alliances with Pope Adrian IV and the resurgent West. He invaded the Norman Kingdom of Sicily, although unsuccessfully, being the last Eastern Roman emperor to attempt reconquests in the western Mediterranean.
