The Hotel

Channel 4 cameras are returning to Torquay to follow the latest exploits of calamitous hotelier, Mark Jenkins. It’s two years since Manager Mark was forced to sell his own hotel, the Grosvenor. Now he’s back in town for one summer season only, in the new role of entertainments manager at the struggling family-run Cavendish. And despite his track record Mark’s confidence is undented: "If someone said to me tomorrow we'd like you to be prime minister, I wouldn't really know what I was doing - but I'd have a go!" Now it’s owners husband and wife Vicky and Andy taking on the unenviable challenge of managing Mark – who hasn’t had a boss for 30 years - in the hope that his trademark brand of holiday sparkle can put their down at heel hotel back on the map. “The Cavendish is a bit like the Titanic. They’ve hit the iceberg and water is coming in. It’s only a matter of time before it sinks…that’s what my job is…I’m saving the Titanic.” Madness and mayhem are guaranteed as, with the help of trusted friend and former colleague Alison, Mark goes all out to revive his own reputation and the fortunes of the Cavendish - before summer is out.
