The Hotel

It’s high season at the Cavendish in Torquay but entertainments manager Mark Jenkins has hit a low. “I’m not making enough money and I’m running out of time.” To get his mission here back on track, Mark’s big idea is Carnage at the Cavendish, a wrestling spectacular he hopes could turn the hotel into a centre for the sport. But Mark’s decided that one event at a time isn’t enough “So far I’ve been juggling with one ball and no one’s impressed by that. I need to get more balls in the air” says Mark. His new plan is to get bar manager Mike to start running events of his own. Mike quietly gets on with plans for a Seventies Night… Disaster soon strikes when Mark finds out his wrestling event can’t go ahead as the hotel doesn’t have a license for professional fighting. With a crew of wrestlers on their way expecting to fight, “this time you really are going to get your head kicked in” warns Alison. It looks like Carnage at the Cavendish is doomed but could Mike’s more humble event save Mark’s bacon? Will Seventies Night be enough to transform his fortunes? Checking into the Cavendish this week is birthday girl Jade from Wiltshire, here to celebrate her 21st. After she reveals to Mark she’s mad about penguins, he goes all out to create a unique holiday memory for her. Mark gets all the staff involved in creating a special surprise, but they have no idea how much this birthday means to her. “I’ve only just turned 21 and I’ve been so much already” says Jade. Five years ago Jade suffered liver failure and received a transplant. “It makes me appreciate my life a whole lot more”.
