Mark Jenkins (former) owner of The Grosvenor in Torquay is a brilliant character. You cannot fault him for tenacity or effort, however some of his judgement calls are questionable (well actually all of his judgement calls are questionable). I watched the first episode of the new series of The Hotel last night and couldn't help but think a lot of the situations shown were staged... how on Earth could so many cock ups occur naturally? Nonetheless it was very amusing. The buffoon with the jet ski... what was all that about?? And what exactly does that sarcastic tub of lard, Alison do? Christian the ever so camp events manager left at the end of the first series but was mysteriously back for the second probably because the pseudo documentary needed him.
Afterwards I googled the hotel's website only to find they had gone bust and had been bought out by some other hotel group. Shame.
Watch it though as it is very funny!
