I’m not sure really with Alison I think she try’s to keep him in reality but he is extremely strong willed and courageous and I think terrific and she tries to go a long with him as much as you can and sometimes you can’t help 👍
I've seen in the comment sections for lots of other Episodes people calling Mark the real Alan Partridge or Basil Fawlty but honestly hes not jaded enough to be them, no matter what happens he honestly thinks the next time will go his way I put forward hes the real Frank Spencer.
Thanks for saying this! - i agree, he's nowhere near as neurotic as Basil or Alan,.. its clearly just a marketing campaign. I think Mark is just out to prove his worth to himself,... he may be a 'flapper' but you can see he truly cares when he talks to the guests. - In this episode he said if he didnt HAVE to charge the guests he wouldnt,.. and thats clearly true. looking forward to seeing him channel his inner Frank Spencer when a cat does a woopsie on the carpet.
He was sentenced and served time in prison for fraud. He stole 13,000 pounds from a holiday park he worked for and used multiple identities. He’s a nasty individual !
I have watched several of these and see that Alison is very undermining and there is a nasty undercurrent of hatred towards the man that pays her wages. Christian is very greasy ...and also hates Mark.
It's called banter it's how hotel staff get through the stress I've been in the idestry since I was 16 I'm 37 now and it's banter like this that that gets you through
They are definite friends, Alison has said many times that she misses working with him and he was the best boss. I could wring my boss's neck and tell him daily, but I have respect for him and know where the line (not to be crossed) is.
Would I go on holiday and stay in this hotel. Yes! Look's like a lively comedy full of fun next to the sea. Perfect funny holiday.. hahaha. Business as usual. From Melbourne Australia 2021. Cheer's for the upload.👌👍
45:19 - No Mark, success isn't making people think the way YOU think - your failing is you don't appreciate and adapt to the fact that other people think differently to you.
Mark ran the place into the ground. He micro managed the business right into the 70’s. Sad really because the place could’ve been great. When you open a new steak house, and give no one the ability to make decision. Then out food on the menu that nobody eats today.
In an episode Mark says he'd clone himself so every staff in the hotel was him managing the place he runs. Now IMAGINE if you woke one morning and EVERYONE in the world was a Mark clone ! ! ! and just you alone.
Yes because he sold to someone who knew how to run a hotel properly. He likely got rid of most of the old staff including Alison which is why she keeps showing up at the Cavendish in the next series.
Just like the couple 29 years together we are in reverse he was 21 and I was 46, here we are 30 years later and still madly in love and very much together
I thought the age gap between my ex and her partner was bad before seeing this. She was 22 and he was 50 and they had a kid within a year of getting together.
And allowing plates of food and Gobsh*te sitting stuffing her face in reception when she has her own office is a big no no and so unprofessional which is a vein running through most of his staff. Mark was his own worst enemy.
A n’otel, the y’otel chavvy pronunciation. Old men and wearing sports shirts. Yuk. But most annoying Mrs Upmarket. Thinks she’s special. Mark should have fired most of the staff, starting with anyone who said no to him, which seems the first reply most of them give when he asks them to do their job. Allison doesn’t help Mark at all. Christian (sorry Nigel in real life) very dodgy.
i can imagine mark voted out of the EU HES PROUD TO BE BRITISH lol x when i was 17 i went out with a guy that was 27 and my parents werent too happy but 47 they would have hit the roof! i love it when mark shouts "HOORAY!"
Anyone else think it's weird wanting to go on holiday with your ex, your ex's new partner. Also the ages of the daughter and granddaughter dont seem to add up. The mum talks about her daughter as though her husband isnt the father 🤔
@@withgoddess well he lost money in every business he ever worked in but amazingly still ended up being a millionaire at one point before losing it all to a gold digger wife.
I hope the staff use sanitiser or wash their hands all of the time...............I bet they smell bad. The smell of cigarettes on clothes lingers, it lingers on hair & breath. I’m a non~smoker & I hate it, especially around those young kiddies & the older generation who could have health problems! They literally throw the disgusting cigarette butts on the floors when they could use ashtrays!
Alison or Christian, its a toss up who is the biggest toss*r, the smirking when Mark was running around looking for ink cartridge was so unpleasant, just like her.
Me & my hubby never really have a problem with the food in turkey where we go twice a year the food AMAZING SOOOO SOOOOO LOVELY I don’t really like a lot of English food anyway
Mark is one of the most resilient men. I've seen losing either your business or misses is enough to crush guys, but losing all that!
Look up riveriera hotels Torquay LLP Companies house, HM Gov.
MD: Mark Lawrence Jenkins OCP 385852.. It's all True!!😏
Feel sorry for Mark working right next to someone (Alison) who gets a kick out of him struggling.
Can't you see that she adores him?
@@hilarygilbertson4154
No I can't.
@@michaelburness5183 they were together for a while but she rolled over in her sleep. Rip Mark
I’m not sure really with Alison I think she try’s to keep him in reality but he is extremely strong willed and courageous and I think terrific and she tries to go a long with him as much as you can and sometimes you can’t help 👍
I wish I had a tenth of Marks enthusiasm ❤️
All I want is a Tiger King style documentary on Christian and his different personas! Who's with me ??
He also went to prison..
Wouldn't give Christian the time of day or his egos air time.
He never gives up bless him. I like himxx

So happy he got his car back deffo deserves it as he puts all his soal into that hotel
No one can judge him for it, he dosen't own a home!
he lost the hotel and went bankrupt though :(
@@dangray25 he had a romance with that housebeast with glasses, and she rolled over in her sleep. R.i.p mark jakins
A 46 year old man getting with a 17 year old girl.... not creepy at all.
first wife a bit scary
If two people are happy together, and no-one's getting hurt - then so what?
Marks optimism is contagious!
I feel like Christian probably sent those flowers to himself haha
Agreed !’n
He was sentenced and served time in prison for fraud. He stole 13,000 pounds from a holiday park he worked for and used multiple identities. He’s a nasty individual !

Hi Liz, I believe they are still close friends x
They are definite friends, Alison has said many times that she misses working with him and he was the best boss.
I could wring my boss's neck and tell him daily, but I have respect for him and know where the line (not to be crossed) is.
@@roverboy4244 she only liked him because he let her get away with anything.
Christian and his "Two words...just ask" act is such an affectation. It feels so phony and he thinks it's so, so clever.
Agreed.
🤣🤣👏👏
It’s so cringe worthy
Mark reminds me of Dudley Moore's character 'Arthur' without the money .. haha ..
Spot on! I knew he seemed familiar to me somehow!
If you dress Mark with a black wig and line his eyes he could pass for Alice Cooper
Is that julie andrews sister 😂
how many times is she going to comb her hair? it doesn't MOVE 😂
This series is mental😂😂😂😂😂
that fish @ 1:58 looks amazing..!
It looks like a very friendly personable place to go .. its like going to a camp or friends party it's sad he had to sell
Would I go on holiday and stay in this hotel. Yes! Look's like a lively comedy full of fun next to the sea. Perfect funny holiday.. hahaha. Business as usual. From Melbourne Australia 2021. Cheer's for the upload.👌👍
Mark shouldn't mingle with the guests and share his woes. Very unprofessional.
And the way he interfered with the kitchen staff grated on me too
He needs to get a life !
Glenda’s hair could double as a motorbike helmet
That woman can't go 5 minutes without combing it 🤣
45:19 - No Mark, success isn't making people think the way YOU think - your failing is you don't appreciate and adapt to the fact that other people think differently to you.
Christian always looks like he's bathed in baby oil.🙈🤣
Exactly! Ew!😂
It matches his personality...greasy.
The man's face when Christian is pressing his finger on the hotel door and says 'I've just got 2 words... If you need anything... Just ask!' 😂😂
He gestured towards his wife as Christian walked off as in "we've got a right one here.."
I wish I had come to stay there while Mark was on the helm.
Mr Tickle is my favourite. Should have his own TV show
Christian was more on the helm than Mark.
Mark ran the place into the ground. He micro managed the business right into the 70’s. Sad really because the place could’ve been great. When you open a new steak house, and give no one the ability to make decision. Then out food on the menu that nobody eats today.
Great impression to the staff of a struggling hotel - buy a Bentley. Mark is seriously deluded.
DdEPENDS HOW FAST THE 🤑cmsin
Didn’t buy it he hired it
@Senses Store he bought it. Jealous much ??
Err.... no one picked up on the 17yo and 46yo getting together???
Yeah, I was doing the math and she'll be around 56 now, so he'll be 85?
Literally so vile
Rather then kids having kids
And.??!!! They've bn together a long time and are happier than most same aged couples and are still together.
@@karenebevanswild115 exactly well said
In an episode Mark says he'd clone himself so every staff in the hotel was him managing the place he runs.
Now IMAGINE if you woke one morning and EVERYONE in the world was a Mark clone ! ! ! and just you alone.
With a never-ending chorus of 'Unbelievable'
'Have you all noticed the sky.... Perfect for a pool and barbecue party!'
I love this fella 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Christian probably sent them flowers to himself......lmfa🤣🙈
89 staff.60 rooms.........doesn't take a genius..shame really because now it's booming
Yes because he sold to someone who knew how to run a hotel properly. He likely got rid of most of the old staff including Alison which is why she keeps showing up at the Cavendish in the next series.
Mark’s favourite saying = “ You Know ? “
Just like the couple 29 years together we are in reverse he was 21 and I was 46, here we are 30 years later and still madly in love and very much together
I'm widowed at 42. You've given me hope!! Tell me more of your story!!!!
Oh man do they àll smoke? Is that a prerequisite?
I just want to say to christian that if he needs fast cash....just two words....just steal
Hahahahhaha
Christian???
That isn't his name
Hes difficult to watch....full of himself....completely unwarranted
Fake tan and wrinkly....horrible combination 🤮
I saw him about 5-years ago, in Benidorm, it was two dogs getting married? it was his voice I recognised, he was the one marrying them???BLESS
Well having a 23 Yr old girl who's only done college as head chef 👩🍳 probably wasn't that smart
Yet ia a trained chef but Mark WON'T LISTEN TO HER... Jeezus he was so frustrating to watch when he was in the kitchen. So condescending to the chefs.
Yes Christian did go to prison that wasn’t his real name either
Neil or Nigel McCarney was his real name
He took the money!
Mark Is A Really Lovely Guy! Hope He Is Keeping Well!
He’s on Facebook x
I like this manager, I stay in hotels about 3 times a week, most are 4 star but, this bloke has the Churchill spirit, KBO!!! Kepp Buggering On
I would not trust Peter around children
17 and 46 is that not a bit creepy and strange age difference?
Verrry creepy, I agree!
I thought the age gap between my ex and her partner was bad before seeing this. She was 22 and he was 50 and they had a kid within a year of getting together.
Harry ( Mark’s Son ) is such a lovely gentleman whom I’m sure loves his father very much .
Take That or Who Is That? 😂 🤣😅
'If you wait 40 minutes for your meal, then there's a chance you might complain....Do you know what I mean?'
Jesus Christ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
And allowing plates of food and Gobsh*te sitting stuffing her face in reception when she has her own office is a big no no and so unprofessional which is a vein running through most of his staff. Mark was his own worst enemy.
That one woman combing her hair was super funny. He could’ve combed her hair till the cows came in and never would’ve looked better
It's a win win for Judy. She's only in her mid 40's.
A n’otel, the y’otel chavvy pronunciation. Old men and wearing sports shirts. Yuk. But most annoying Mrs Upmarket. Thinks she’s special.

He should have employed more eastern European. He would still have a hotel
Don’t worry it rains like that on Pacific Isands to! Bali, Fiji, Rarotonga, everywhere 😂
If I were Mark,I'd sack the lot of them and get some decent staff in.
Nah he'd just do it all himself. He says so himself many times 😆
Where is the next episode??
Anyone else think it's weird wanting to go on holiday with your ex, your ex's new partner. Also the ages of the daughter and granddaughter dont seem to add up. The mum talks about her daughter as though her husband isnt the father 🤔
Gross, awful, terrible...totally mad....absolutely unbearable
And that's just the food 🤣
that welsh couple were very annoying and it threw me beyond hate when i saw him by the pool in that redshite shirt lol
Anyone not like it when he is talking about Primark and he licks his lips ?
I feel The Grovsenor was a nicer hotel then The Cavendish . The latter really did come across as an uncared for dump
I'd sob myself in booze if I had to stay here..
Surprise surprise most customers are Welsh the most working class depressing area in Britain
Jesus that chefs got more chins than a Chinese phone book
don''t phone us the answer is no unless it's free then we might consider it might
De de de deee deee, de de de deee Dee 😂
Mark is so delusional in every aspect of his life
How so?
@@withgoddess well he lost money in every business he ever worked in but amazingly still ended up being a millionaire at one point before losing it all to a gold digger wife.
I see Chef Mike was working.
Mark can’t even pronounce the name of his own hotel.
Most depressing barbecue in history.
That restaurant is a shambles
She's only 40?!!!
Oh that Bentley is gorgeous!
24:10 Deviants
It is not a Union Jack ,it is a union flag, it is only called a Jack aboard ship!
Yes we know but the rule is now, by maritime law, its acceptable to say Union Jack whilst on land.
Everyone calls the flag the Union Jack
An Englishman, who can't pronounce the most stereotypically English place name, Grosvenor, properly.
Never seen a hotel like it total disorganisation
Go to Alton Towers. It's not much better.
@4:15…why does their room look like they've been living
there for years? What a mess!
All they all do is smoke bet there breaths are rank
I hope the staff use sanitiser or wash their hands all of the time...............I bet they smell bad. The smell of cigarettes on clothes lingers, it lingers on hair & breath. I’m a non~smoker & I hate it, especially around those young kiddies & the older generation who could have health problems! They literally throw the disgusting cigarette butts on the floors when they could use ashtrays!
Miss this show😢
The more this goes on the more I dislike Mark 🤦♂️
She may be critical?
But?
Her face?
🤣🤣😱😱
Having worked as a cleaner in a hotel and there routine I wonder how often the top cover on the bead gets washed.
Man fridays is the best fish resteraunt in torquay,hed have to go some to beat that.
In the excellent series Benidorm there is also a Neptunes bar.......just saying.
I noticed the same thing 🤣🤣 It's a real bar too, I've walked past it a few years back.
Christian is so cringe.
‘Two words, just ask’ 😅
She's only 40??? Wow.
40" all round..
she'd look 35 if she lost the weight!
She's probably been 40 for a few years cuz she said she was 40 in the previous series which was filmed a year earlier. 🤣
Alison or Christian, its a toss up who is the biggest toss*r, the smirking when Mark was running around looking for ink cartridge was so unpleasant, just like her.
I need to find mark and allison whats there surnames please??
Ok stalker
@Sirfrost Mark Jenkins .
I don’t know Alison’s surname.
Mark is a hard 51 years old
I've got 2 words to say...........................
Just
Ask ..
🤮
nice bentley..❤❤
30:00. - "not really shoe-errrrrrr"
If you want a great holiday, stay in Britain with British weather and British food.
If I checked into that hotel I most likely would not stay. I am American and suppose would rather stay at the savoy..
Ha hard to get to grips with lol I bet
Time Alison bought a new jacket a little larger as befits a woman of her size..
Me & my hubby never really have a problem with the food in turkey where we go twice a year the food AMAZING SOOOO SOOOOO LOVELY I don’t really like a lot of English food anyway
Yes! Turkish food is absolutely the best! English roast is oke but that's about it.
ALISON IS WRONG🌋🥇🎉🎱🏐🎃
Look up Compainies house..
It's all true!
