Most events charge one price for pre-bookings and a higher price "at the door". At the very least they should have charged 10 - 12 pounds for people buying tickets on the night at the door.
Christian is bluffing his way through the hotel business,, he hasn't a clue.. Plus, he got 2 years in prison for ripping off some other catering company..
@@stantheman9976 he was putting refunds through the till where he worked (at a holiday camp) and was keeping the money, it was thousands! He went on the run, but got caught in Blackpool and was sentenced to two years for fraud! Personally, I think he was robbing Mark blind too, and that’s why he went bust. Horrible man
That will spread Rumours and might mean the Hotel goes down ....Christian what did you do to end up in HMRPA.....?.. Please share so that we can help ..
I feel bad for the Hotel Inspector. He's been retained by Mark to make the place better but he speaks the truth no one wants to hear, least of all Mark
It’s the same story every time - there’s some semblance of a plan in place but Mark catastrophizes at the 11th hour, changing everything and leaving confusion in his wake.
These people get more incompetent with every episode. Is there a functioning brain between them. Only the chef seems to have his head screwed on properly.
The woman on the phone about the stripper's grabbing her and explaining herself to her boyfriend about it, what was the issue, we all know what male stripper's do, lighten up love🤠
Women shows their true colour when they're in a pack!" I love Mark Jennings. However, this episode is a casebook study on how NOT to run your business.
He didn't put his hands around her waist because he may be in professional mode where he is keeping his guard up. End of the day they are guests and he is working there
Will you be uploading the remainder of series 3 and do you have series 4 - when Mark went onto work at the Cavendish? If so please upload, the series has been some enjoyable viewing during lockdown.
Why that is trues, if you can't even raise a point or state an opinion - run from that job. Bosses that don't take ANY input from workers are usually what drives the business into the ground.
@@cl1cka thats fair enough but employees should have some respect for their boss as well, but unfortunately Mark certainly didn't have that at all, and ultimately I think that was one of the reasons the hotel didn't work and he lost it. 😞
@@Juls27989 Mark ran The Grosvenor Hotel into bankruptcy. In 2012 it was bought by a hotel group.fir under £1M who spent another £1M on a major refurbishment and efforts to undo the terrible reputation earned while Mark was running the show.

Thanx for uploading this.Anybody remembers " A place in Slovakia " and " Chaos at the Chateau"? Is there anywhere I could possibly watch it or download it ?

I feel for the chef that must be the worst place to work and he is under more stress than normal. I would like to know what areas of the hotel Mark has worked in before buying the place.
Mark is a business disaster and should not be in charge of a hotel.He should open a fish and chip shop! The hotel needs a professional to n it and other management are ineffective and should be replaced. A total disaster.
Just thinking if the shoe was on the other foot and he was asking women to be part of a gentleman’s night I’m sure there’s got to be some law for asking you customers to get their clothes off for the hotels event 🤔 something definitely wrong there.
The level of service and cleanliness in the UK compared to the rest of the western world is shocking. Everything besides the very high-end hotels is awful. Ik the show promotes the worst, but I’ve spent a lot of time in the UK over the last 30 years and it’s getting better, but still awful.
Mark wasn't really ready to own a hotel lol he's been brought up to be an entertainer and seems to really enjoy it. But unfortunately the hotel flopped years ago. But at least now mark is going back to his true calling and he went back to the entertainment industry
The mum, daughters and granddaughter seem like such a lovely happy family and people.
They should at least charge £25 for ladies night, not a sweaty £5.00
There were NO ladies in there fella?
I absolutely loved the all-girl family💗 shame Mark didn't get to know the mother better, she really liked him !!
Allison reminds me of Gemma Collins. Attitude, speach...and so on.
Also Lisa Riley Allison Hammond and Dawn French
She’s awful
And sounds like one of the pepa pig
The mom with the crush is too cute
Most events charge one price for pre-bookings and a higher price "at the door". At the very least they should have charged 10 - 12 pounds for people buying tickets on the night at the door.
I think jumping on the beds and wearing footwear is most disrespectful to the hotel owners
Totally agree with you. Bad behavior.
And to themselves
This show is hilarious. It's like the Office but at a hotel. 🤣
Christian is bluffing his way through the hotel business,, he hasn't a clue.. Plus, he got 2 years in prison for ripping off some other catering company..
What did he actually do?
Bet he was happy to pick up the soap 🤣

Christian is a crafty old pickle smoocher
This manager reminds me of Michael Scott from The Office USA. I love it!
That hotel inspector is not helping them by lying to them with his fake grading system.
Imagine if the Grosvenor was featured on an episode of Gordon Ramsay's Hotel Hell lol.
Priceless
The only person with any common sense is head chef 👨🍳
It’s like watching money 💰 being set on fire 🔥
😂

thats not just the show... thats torquay in general. xD ive lived here 0ver 30 years xD
Highly recommend Mark's book, it's very funny!
@@sinbrown1501 home of Fawlty Towers after all!
Christian destroys everything.!!
Alison : why wasn't it thought of at the start of the week
YOU ARE THE RESERVATIONS MANAGER YOU CLOWN
Oh she is especially useless.
🤡🤣
Why on earth do they keep Staff who lies are legendary & they don’t do anything at all...........useless!
The chef is a genuinely caring guy who puts pride in his job
Way better then Gerry at the Cavendish
@@sapphireblue8930with the best will in the world Jerry’s not a biker
Christian with his dyed jet black hair and fake tan is hilarious
He definitely isn't aging gracefully
27 years in the business so he must have started when he was 10 :D
He's a crim.. look his name up online he got done for fraud.. christian scott lee
He spent 2 years as a guest of her majesty for nicking 15 grand from his employer. Bet he aged even more getting buggered every day
@@JGJGAGSG I bet he loved it.
@@michaelyates5976 That's what I thought! Got caught on purpose! ; )

💯% agree
“Christian’s not numbered the tickets” - hmmm, I wonder why….
🤣🤣🤣
he will have had some scam going its his modus operandi.
He probably left the strippers in their room and "forgot about them" by purpose. So it seems like the evening failed once again.
No organization whatsoever, they all wing it.
Bet that room smelt like a chippy
Seems like a tribute to faulty towers. Not far from the original gleneagles hotel which inspired faulty towers.
😂😂😂😂 Mark you always make a plan NOW....Love the beautifully flowers ...🇿🇦💖
The woman on the phone about the stripper's grabbing her and explaining herself to her boyfriend about it, what was the issue, we all know what male stripper's do, lighten up love🤠
Maybe an abusive BF.. that will blame her & starting huge fights about it...
How much of the cash that Christian took on the door actually went to Mark? About every 3rd tenner I reckon.
Women shows their true colour when they're in a pack!" I love Mark Jennings.

"You've moved really quickly on that, haven't you?"
(You have no idea.)
Every episode I watch I think this is a comedy 🤣🤣🤣
Just horribly hilarious🤣🤣🤣
Mark is a lovely and caring man.This bunch do not deserve his help.
She shouldve just asked for his number
£5 no wonder he's skint
Great show!
He didn't put his hands around her waist because he may be in professional mode where he is keeping his guard up. End of the day they are guests and he is working there
Basil Fawlty & David Brent combined
christian really dropped the ball.
Deliberately.
Where's the water?
In the fridge
Where's the fridge?
Behind you
Where's the key?
Oh. No. I've locked it in the room 😂😂
Manager Mark: The hotel inspector won't mind if he's locked out the room. It's a sh*thole anyway 😂😂
@@Triplet33333😅😅😅
How about those old mattresses that you can see where people were sleeping on it?😱😱
It’s like Christian owns the hotel! SACK HIM!
agreed what a horrible passive aggressive bully he is. apparently he went to prison for fraud/theft after the show, so there is a silver lining.
That family were lovely. Just nice people.

You should respect your boss and do what they ask of you regardless of your own opinion. .......

it closed years ago
Yeah it finally closed down, I wonder why? 🤔😊
I heard it had been taken over by another owner.

@@a697ag Have you got a manuscript of the History of the Grosvenor Hotel? 🤣👍🏻
“Organisation is pants.....”
Take em off then....🙌🙌🙌🙌
He does at 38:45 👀 👀
Why tell them to "arrive close to 10" when they go ON at 10! They should be there at least an hour before as a time buffer.
Anyone else notice the stripper lurking in the background when the girls were going back to their room?!
I bet Mark knew Christian was stealing from him but he such a nice guy he wouldn't involve the police
Tf?
Thanx for uploading this.Anybody remembers " A place in Slovakia " and " Chaos at the Chateau"? Is there anywhere I could possibly watch it or download it ?
What happened to that couple in Slovakia
HENRY WINKLER!! That's who Mark reminds me of
Christian has 27 years In the hospitality business😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
I roared at the if me and Christian were married.. not that we would be but id be at the stage of counciling to see if we could save the marriage pmsl
Haha " They doing 60 minute makeover"....
8:43 too soon Christian too soon! 😂
Just the place I would love to work. It wouldnt seem like work could be a lot of fun
Its Unbelievable they Don't charge properly For AnY of these events !! How insane !! 🙃🚬
I think they making back on the bar
I think they're making back on the bar

Sad how a great part of the dignity of marriage has been lost.
I suspect the amount of people in that room is illegal for fire reasons.
The thing is if you watch Mark didnt put his hand on the other girls waist either so goes to show he was actually just be a gentleman
What happened to Allison, after the closure of the hotel?
She got carved up by the local butcher and sold as pig meat.
@@tamphex 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏
At the Cavendish Hotel with Mark
@@tamphex 😢🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🐷🔪🔪🐷
this is so funny..they all seem not knowing what they are all doing😅😅
I also once stayed in a room where the paint was still wet....
Those girls are adults and the over protection from the mother is terrible, especially the flapping about the window. Ridiculous and so controlling.
haha alan partridge or what haha, nobdy knows whats going on. he doesnt know how to talk to guests when the tickets were sold out.
All the staff bully the owner
Mark was right, you're supposed to remove the leaves from the flowers
No management just men with huge ego’s
I feel for the chef that must be the worst place to work and he is under more stress than normal.
I would like to know what areas of the hotel Mark has worked in before buying the place.
Last thing is I want a woman I don't want to make my life more complicated! So much wisdom for a man who cannot run a business properly
Mark"no there is no change someone should of thought about it"
Yes you Mark you are the owner and boss.
£5????
Right??? A fiver wouldn't even get you into a nightclub these days, let alone a Ladies Night with free food! Could have made a MASSIVE profit.
Why does the hen party sound like they’ve got a blocked nose 🤣
What does that bald fella who looks like a bouncer do? I’ve seen the series 3 times now and I still don’t know.
I think he's on the night shift for the front desk. Because I mostly see shots of him sleeping at the front desk at night
he's the night porter
None of them had a clue.
Originizised chaos Faulty Towers was based in Torquay this Faulty Towers 2

those ladies have got beautiful eyes!!!
No !!!!!!
Don’t need chair covers !
I thought that was just a lewd joke 😂
That Christian chap gives me the creeps.
Only mark could have a sell out night and lose money. He should have charged £20.
The level of service and cleanliness in the UK compared to the rest of the western world is shocking. Everything besides the very high-end hotels is awful. Ik the show promotes the worst, but I’ve spent a lot of time in the UK over the last 30 years and it’s getting better, but still awful.
Bs I've lived here my whole life 😂 I don't think it's terrible at all . Your sweeping statement is bs
I was wondering when the mum and two daughters went lady night who looked after the baby??
Fawlty towers it's Even in Torquay lol
I would never say sold out I would take all the people that want to by a ticket let them more people for you
Its somewhat funny to watch, but Mark must be the WORST hotel manager EVER. ....or just the worst plain manager. LOL.
Mark wasn't really ready to own a hotel lol he's been brought up to be an entertainer and seems to really enjoy it. But unfortunately the hotel flopped years ago. But at least now mark is going back to his true calling and he went back to the entertainment industry
32:59 that money so went into Christian back pocket or whatever his name is
Ive worked with two Rons haha
Is he bandy or is something seriously wrong with his trousers? When he runs it looks like he is trying to throw his feet away.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow, asking the guests to work, and get your shirt off.
I find myself rooting for Mark, but he must faya the drag and let chef run the finance
The whole place went under years ago. Mark is now an entertainer I believe
A security deposit? What is that???????
What a joke.
A fiver seriously no wonder they made no money.
What a poorly run hotel horrible manager Allison is awful too. Why do they blame everything on Christian
If you get paid as a manager and owner, heavy the head that wears the crown.
Because he is totally incompetent like Alison. He went to jail for stealing.
