Hotel Babylon - Series 1 [2006]

Customer Reviews:

A good programme .......2008-01-04

I have watched all the episodes of HB and have loved them all. Some programmes get boring after a while but HB is just so entertaining. I bought series 1 on DVD and now just waiting for series 2 to come out, also I can't wait to see series 3.

Very Inviting Hotel Babylon.......2007-04-13

Hugely entertaining, another of those unique offerings like Cutting It that aren't easy to categorise and some people will inevitably call sleazy or superficial - yet really it's neither because the lowdown is said to be based on truth, ditto in the equally rivetting book of the same title that this TV series is based on. As an enthusiast for Arnold Bennett's fine old books about hotels, Imperial Palace and Grand Babylon Hotel, I was immediately tempted to watch this TV series if only out of curiosity, and am delighted I did. Rather different to Bennett but equally fascinating! Intensely more-ish so thank goodness there is another series to come next year. Highly recommended.

Hotel Babylon.......2007-04-01

I watched the entire series from its orriginal air and loved it. Personally, i think the idea wasso frsh, yes there have been so many hotel comedys/dramas/dramedeys, etc, but only set in lower class hotels. To see the scandals, many of which based on truth, in a 5* london hotel. the camera is brilliant, plus the links of accelerated shots of london is brilliant. the hotel always looks immaculate and the set is so convincing, if only it were real!!

A Superior Souffle.......2007-03-02

Almost without substance, this very more-ish dramatic confection is crafted for night-time British television with all the finesse which, as with the work of the finest French pattisseur, produces a deliciously indulgent, and wholly irresistible, guilty pleasure. The chief delight is to be had from a supremely smooth and glamorous surface, and a light froth of drama that tickles but vanishes with no regrets. It is something you will sit down to after the heavier dishes of the day; it requires no chewing over, and is not oppressively heavy to digest at the end of a week already stuffed with offerings that can too often lie like lead on our jaded system, and leave a distinctly sour aftertaste. The BBC's wonderfully light yet deceptively expert touch has whipped lashings of air-time into this very superior souffle. This is how entertaining should be done!
