The Hotel

Tx: From Sunday 1st January, 8pm, Channel 4

Smash hit comedy-doc series, The Hotel, is back - with a new seaside location, new staff, new guests, and new calamities.

Set in Torquay, The Grosvenor Hotel is a traditional 3* British holiday hotel - with a difference.

At the helm is manager Mark Jenkins, a seaside hotel entrepreneur who lives alone in one of his own guest bedrooms.  Mark has a track-record of turning failing seaside hotels around, and The Grosvenor is his latest venture.  Part businessman, part showman, his formula is simple:  buy the place outright, keep all the existing staff, discount the room rate and ramp up the entertainment...

But inheriting staff can prove tricky: "If I had my way, I would actually clone myself into every job in the entire hotel."  For now though, Mark's assisted by his trusted team: Alison, the bubbly, straight-talking reservations manager, and Christian, the long-suffering, perma-tanned deputy manager.  Together, they cater for coach loads of the Great British Public who flock here for seaside fun, bringing all their ‘baggage' with them.

Cue more magic - and mayhem - for a summer season at The Hotel.
