Second series of the show that takes place in a luxury hotel; through a veil of consummate professionalism, the guests aren�t privy to the murkier goings-on but let head receptionist Charlie be your guide to what no one else is meant to see; glitzy manager Rebecca keeps the hotel ticking along but isn�t capable of balancing her working week with her home life; receptionist Anna has a seductive eye for the wealthier guests; concierge Tony can get you anything you need, just as long as you�re willing to pay; and then there�s the chambermaids � working on the frontline and seeing everything. If the staff aren�t wacky enough, there�s a whole host of new characters in and around the hotel, including the MP hiding out from the paparazzi, Russian gangsters and a premiership football team running riot, spicing up the proceedings accordingly.

Mediocrity redefined

A Customer from Belfast, 16th April, 2008

Positively weak performance in terms of scripting, acting and shooting. Why does the BBC insist on mimicking the movie industry when it simply isn't poised to do so with any panache? Stick to what you're good at BBC - This ain't it !

Great bit of escapism

A Customer from Birmingham, 22nd May, 2008

I love this, very clever series and pure escapism. Shame most of the main characters leave in the next series, wasn't the same without Tamsin Outhwaite.

hmm...

denz2100 from from Glasgow, 22nd July, 2008

Not as good as the first series, or indeed the book. It all gets a bbit far fetched in this series. However, still worth a watch.

SLICK

JamesT from from Chorley, 13th February, 2009

Just as slick as the first series but this is where it ends. The 3rd series on TV was headed by a different cast and it lost its lustre for me. But this series is another great one. Watch and enjoy.
