One small change is that the fire alarm control has appeared in reception by the time of "[[Recap/FawltyTowersS1E5GourmetNight Gourmet Night]]". Since the entire worry about inspectors was started by a second hand rumour overheard by a friend of a friend, it's possible that the inspectors were nothing to do with customer service and were simply carrying out a basic fire safety check.

For starters it's the second episode. And even then I don't see how this proves he's a political refugee.


** He is. In the first episode, a frustrated guest asks where Manuel's boss is, using "generalissimo", which happened to be Franco's title. A confused Manuel can only reply "In Madrid."
