- Fawlty, waspish hotelier played by Prunella Scales (5)

I believe the answer is:

sybil

(Other definitions for sybil that I've seen before include "--- Thorndike, Fawlty" , "Basil Fawlty's wife" , "Female oracle; Mrs Fawlty" , "Dame - Thorndike, English actress" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
