Basil Faulty Although there are other constant characters in Faulty Towers, Basil Faulty is the only character that fully drives the narrative. He is the ultimate main character and protagonist, not many sit-coms have just one main character. Another original feature of Faulty Towers is that the audience genuinely dislikes the protagonist. The character 'Basil Faulty' is an archetypal snob. This is evident though the way Basil treats his different guests, wife, and employees. He tries to appear superior to his lower class guests and genuinely believes his younger guests are stupid. This could be one reason the character Basil Faulty is disliked by the audience, although I am sure many can relate to him in one way or another. The comic style of faulty towers is slapstick and ironic. Slapstick because the comedy is very physical, in the extravagant way Basil moves and the way things fall over etc....
