6/4 odds given that the Fawlty Towers reboot will be the most watched TV show of the year
The reboot of Fawlty Towers was announced earlier this month and bookies are already giving specials around the return of the sitcom.
More than 40 years on from the show leaving British TV screens back in 1979 the show is set to return with John Cleese starring again.
Cleese will appear in the show alongside his daughter Camilla and Betway make it 6/4 that the return will be the most watched TV show of the year.
According to the betting odds there's a 40% chance that the sitcom comes back with massive popularity and bosses the TV ratings.
Shortest price in the market makes it odds on at 2/5 that the show wins Best Comedy at the NTAs
The shortest price special in the betting market is at 2/5 for the sitcom to win Best Comedy at the National Television Awards.
We don't have a set date for the reboot to air but John Cleese has already said that it won't be on the show's original home of the BBC.
Cleese says that the broadcaster would not give him editorial freedom before adding that the reboot would be “an anti-woke nightmare.”

BAFTA wins also predicted with odds as short as 4/5 to win Best Scripted Comedy BAFTA
The British Academy Television Awards usually take place every May so if Fawlty Towers was to win the Best Scripted Comedy it would likely be at 2024's show.
BBC comedy Motherland won the award last year which celebrates the best situational comedies and scripted comedy sketch shows.
The latest betting odds make Fawlty Towers odds-on at 4/5 to win the award at some point for the reboot of the show.
Fawlty Towers has won the Best Scripted Comedy BAFTA on two previous occasions back in 1976 and 1980 before the show ended.
