Synopsis:
backstairs portrait of the horrors of English hotel life. You get to learn about the financial insecurity, the blocked toilets after a baked-bean breakfast and even the over-zealous fire-officer who dubs each tassel a time-bomb of combustibility". Most hotel plays are about the guests. This one, like Fawlty Towers, is about the hosts, and it gets a lot of comedy out of the way private dramas erupt in public places - climaxing in a pot-throwing war with a rival hotel during the Bridlington in Bloom competition" The Guardian
