One week before a BBC series, The Human Face, is due to premiere, former Monty Python/Fawlty Towers star John Cleese, who co-wrote and hosts the series, has accused BBC executives of being "control freaks" who put him through a "total nightmare" during the production. In an interview appearing in the London Daily Telegraph, "All the way through the BBC there are very nice people making the most fundamental management errors. ... I didn't expect this project to go smoothly, but I didn't think the ride would be as rough as this." A spokesman for the BBC responded: "Everyone at the BBC is really delighted with the series and thinks John is a great presenter [host]. We're sorry to hear he's had some unpleasantness along the way."
