It sort of worked for me but it needs to grow a bit until I'm hooked. Good to see some new British programming for a change, rather than more American stuff.

I liked it too. There's so much potential with this theme.
Thought it ran along at the same pace as Hustle and CSI. Same type of shots and tempo.
As for Max Beesley hmmmmmmmm. And I'm sure Tamsin was just as good for the guys !
I liked the concierge character, he was so well cast, just the right amount of sleeze balanced with discretion !
Shall deffo tune in next week for more giggles and nosieness.

lol.. she looked rough as, without the make up on....
Its written by the same group who did Spooks apparently so you can see where the pace of the program comes from. Much more to come from this I hear. Definately going to keep me interested for a while. I like to watch stuff like this without bl00dy adverts inbetween all the time.

Just read a book of the same title is it anything to do with it?

If it is i am annoyed I missed it! I have done my fair share of work in hotels and the book was a very good read with a lot of points i could relate to!

106, My boss also missed it but he has read the book, I was describing what happened in the first episode last night and he said yeah its the same thing, about the Hotel staff.... If you have NTL try On Demand, you should be able to see it on there for free at any time

It is based on that book, it said at the end.
At first, i thought it was odd, but after 10 minutes it was thoroughly enjoyable, definately different and very funny.
Reminded me of Hustle a bit as well.
