I stayed in a hotel in Torquay a couple of weeks ago, and it was the first one in ages that was run by a husband-wife team. He had no similarities with Basil, just a bad toupee - but the wife was just sitting there on the phone going yeeeeees, yeeeeeeeees, yeeeeees - exactly like Sybil.
And the waiter WAS Spanish
Except he came from Santander
