Manuel himself appeared on the audio adaptations of Fawlty Towers as a linking narrator,[citation needed] explaining things from his point of view, when the series was released in audio format. The first two episodes released did not feature him at all, as the dialogue was edited and a short burst of piano music would indicate a change of scene. However, when the whole series was re-released, they were re-edited with Manuel's linking commentary.[citation needed]
