* IndignantSlap: Sybil does this to Basil, as the ''lesser'' of the physical punishments she inflicts on him: in "The Psychiatrist" when she believes he has been spying on a pretty guest, and in "The Anniversary", when she believes he has forgotten their anniversary. It is implied that she does this frequently.

* {{Bizarrchitecture}}: Although almost certainly not intentional, the hotel was a very Jumbled House. Come in the main door, turn left, go straight ahead into the kitchen, turn left again out the back door. Return to the kitchen and leave the way you came in, turn right up the stairs. Halfway up, there's a 180-degree turn to the right, and at the top you have to turn right 90 degrees onto the first floor. There are plenty of rooms on either side of the wide landing, and if you go past the two on the right, there's a little passage that leads to the next flight of stairs up with another turn right, which means by now you're somewhere over the car park. From the outside it looks like a perfectly normal ex-stately home[[note]]Actually the Wooburn Grange Country Club in Buckinghamshire, now long-since burned down[[/note]].
** While the eponymous Towers are a very extreme example, old manor houses repurposed as hotels often do have a rather confusing layout in real life, being subdivided and remodelled to cram in as many bedrooms as possible while staying within hailing distance of local fire codes. Especially if the original owners try and do it on the cheap, which Basil almost certainly would have.

* FranticObjectConcealment: Basil sometimes hides an object frantically, with hilarious results.
** "A Touch of Class": When Sybil comes in, Basil hides the cheque he is about to write for Lord Melbury, and distracts her by kissing her, to her annoyance.
** "The Kipper and the Corpse": Both of the titular items have to be hidden frantically. Basil tries to dispose of the kipper out of the bedroom window, but cannot open it; he resorts to hiding it inside his jumper, but the smell gives it away. As for the corpse, it ends up being hidden in a wardrobe, and in a laundry basket.
** "Basil the Rat": In the presence of the health inspector, Basil suddenly sees a box of rat poison on the fridge. As he grabs it, he drops a wine bottle which is in his hand.
