Terry is a fictional character played by Brian Hall in the BBC 1 television sitcom Fawlty Towers. His full name is Terry Hughes. He was named after director Terry Hughes of Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl (1982), which Fawlty Towers creator John Cleese also wrote. Terry is the chef at Fawlty Towers in Series 2.
Personality
Terry is Fawlty Towers' cockney chef. He lives up to the commonly perceived stereotype: he's a quick witted 'wideboy', who thinks of women before work (for example, in the "Waldorf Salad" episode, he claims he can't do overtime because of karate lessons, while actually he is going out with a Finnish woman). However, he has a big heart and a very sharp mind - he's always finding ways to get out of the tricky situations that Basil Fawlty lands him in.
Terry arrives in the second series after the relief of Kurt (seen only in Gourmet Night); he is quite relaxed towards his work. Basil occasionally gets frustrated with this attitude. Terry used to work in Dorchester, not at The Dorchester (a famous luxury hotel), as was once thought.
Terry claims that he and Polly "basically run the bleeding hotel". In some chaotic situations he proves himself capable of executing orderly and clever manoeuvres. Terry had an argument with Manuel after Basil let Manuel cook paella, much to Terry's dismay.
Terry was introduced in the second series because Cleese and Booth thought that the hotel seemed empty due to its lack of employees. He was the only new regular character to be introduced in the series.
