27:47 Marks idea for singles night: "Bring your partner, come in separately and then leave together. People will think it works!" This man is quite the genius character hahaha!
You are in for a treat, if this is your first time watching the goings-on at The Grosvenor. I have watched all the episodes and loved every minute. Enjoy!
@@ashotofmercury It is a great series. Though not mentioned on the show, Christian was convicted of embezzlement and fraud at a different job and spent time in prison.
to be fair this is from the early 2010’s: we’ve had massive leaps in style and what’s considered “retro and cool” since then. then, that probably looked vintage and unique. now it looks like a total dump
He definitely wasnt a nice bloke,after he left this hotel he stole around £13,500 from another place he worked at and then changed his name and went on the run,he was later caught in Blackpool and was then convicted.
I forgot the young guy's name, but I think Christian definitely fancied him a bit, or maybe was a little bit jealous. But he was giving off a bit of a vibe...
I just adore Allison's waddling into a room while moaning. I love when Mark runs in his clown like shoes. I love Christian's dramatic ways. Man, if I could only have a beer with them all.
@@AC-sd6fo he is successful at something but it’s not hotel management, love. Don’t believe what you are told. He is a clown, a maniac, keeps taking risks. Not hard to guess
Yeah I saw that too, it's seems to be a common thing with small businesses, a local windows manufacturer has the crappiest sign outside his premises in faded paint and sagging hardboard saying 'Richards Aluminium' & it's barely readable & all it tells you is that these people have no pride in their work and no clue about first impressions.
I think he has the worst, most unsupportive staff. They don't even try and embrace his ideas and he does seem to know what he's talking about but he can't do it all on his own.
I think it was failing financially Before he got it. His arrogance Was that he could turn it around. His management skills Are too disfunctional to turn It around.
Yet again Christian uses Marks money and hotel to play dress up,can't he run any other type of night?,always seems to do the same kind of night,meeting his own needs and not thinking about the affect it has on the hotel's name and reputation, he couldn't run a bath,very unprofessional.
Mark you have great ideas but you are too all over the place and your employees aren't invested in your Hotel. I realize this is an old show but in case you are still at it. You need to sit down with your staff explain your financial issues, your dreams for the the Hotel and if they don't share in your vision they can go. Give them a bonus at the end of the year if you make certain goals. You need a TEAM not the mess you are working with. I saw the episode you got rid of Christian which was the best decision ever.
He wants christan to treat him with respect? The kid showed up LATE and thought it was ok because he went out the night before. Waste of space. on the other hand Christian more than likely fancies him so is looking for excuses to be mean to him lol.
Alison (the rotund lady with the glasses and shoulders at her ears) is intolerable. If i had an employee who spoke to me the way she does to mike,.. i'd pay a disgruntled arab to fly a plane into her.
Usually with these 'reality documentaries', the business in question doesn't receive any financial compensation. They get free publicity instead. If you think of Airline, it focused on EasyJet's early years, and it showed EJ for better and for worse, and it really helped them grow as a business.
There is that unwritten rule that you do not fraternise with a guest,no matter what..having worked in Hotels I can tell you now that rule is virtually impossible to go by,all I can say is extreme provocation got the better of me several times but I was young and daft then🤣

😆😆😆👍
To right pal 🤣
The problem with this hotel is the employees know they can do what ever they want and NO one does anything about it!!
That’s not it at all the place is run down and the owners have no money or customers
why has this taken me so long to find? this is f****** immense!
You are in for a treat, if this is your first time watching the goings-on at The Grosvenor. I have watched all the episodes and loved every minute. Enjoy!
@@Tassie85 I was hoping this was a series. 👏🏻😁
@@ashotofmercury It is a great series. Though not mentioned on the show, Christian was convicted of embezzlement and fraud at a different job and spent time in prison.
Pat Butcher and Terry .....jesus you couldn't make it up and the geezer who married his mother .😂.....I'm.dying here
That “honeymoon suite”is utterly terrifying, so how anyone could think it was lovely just shows me how very very different us humans really are🤭
to be fair this is from the early 2010’s: we’ve had massive leaps in style and what’s considered “retro and cool” since then. then, that probably looked vintage and unique. now it looks like a total dump
Management smoking at the front doors in full view of guests. Outrageous!
Why is Christian so quick to criticise others when he’s terrible at his own job!!
Smoking outside the the hotel very professional lol
He got two years for Freud back in 2015 ripping of a holiday camp in Devon apparently giving customers refunds for drinks he netted over £13000 lol 😂
@@jimmywilliams1621 I bet he was happy to pick up the soap in the shower 🤣
Zach may have turned up 25 mins late, but at least he's not a fraud.
Jealous, fancies Zach. How can no one see that?
"I've had 3 motor homes'😂😂 reminds me of Victoria wood in Dinner Ladies!😂
I don’t know why when he said that line I couldn’t stop laughing ! 😂
@@son7133same 😂😂😂
The manager reminds me of Allan partridge if he owned a hotel
I think Christian is a terrible member of staff, seems entitled and has terrible attitude
He definitely wasnt a nice bloke,after he left this hotel he stole around £13,500 from another place he worked at and then changed his name and went on the run,he was later caught in Blackpool and was then convicted.
@@TheTechGiantTH-cam How do you know this?
@@rah4254 Google Christian Taylor the hotel
@@rah4254 google it.....lol
It’s true, he went to prison. It’s obvious on this how fake he is.
"I'm not having a go at you buddy" whilst shouting in his face. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That was hardly shouting.
He fancies zach but zacb is not a sausage muncher and that rejection hurts the greasy queen
@@neillp3827 just what I was thinking. He is disgusting and Zach is a brilliant staff member.
The comedy club is back! “Three cups in the honeymoon suite..... Who they think we are bringing with?”
What I dont get is Christian gives out about Zach not working yet every time the camera is on Christian hes outside smoking doing nothing
This place is like a real life phoenix nights
Phoenix nights / faulty towers mixed together
Its brilliant I'd actually stay hear
As long as alison is still there then I'm going lol
The Linton Travel Tavern.
All we needed was a Geordie....whats its all aboot?
Thank you for uploading these eps! Love it 🥰
Alison saying she has better things to do.....what li,e waddling over to the biscuit jar.
I forgot the young guy's name, but I think Christian definitely fancied him a bit, or maybe was a little bit jealous. But he was giving off a bit of a vibe...
I just adore Allison's waddling into a room while moaning. I love when Mark runs in his clown like shoes. I love Christian's dramatic ways. Man, if I could only have a beer with them all.
Alison does waddle! But do love her waddling! 🤣
2 dogs
Christian would probably steal it.
Loving this! Are you doing a season 3 & 4 too?
This is an old tv series real truth documentary did not make this. Just search it on google you find all episodes
This is comedy at it's best, Mark is like the Frank Spencer of the hotel business 👍
Not really he’s actually been very successful love
@@AC-sd6fo he is successful at something but it’s not hotel management, love. Don’t believe what you are told. He is a clown, a maniac, keeps taking risks. Not hard to guess
Ooooohh Betty!!
@@annacarter6559he was a multimillionaire multiple times over i think he is successful babe
If people think these rooms are so gorgeous I don't ever want to visit here.
That Christian has got more faces than Michael Jackson
Haha he can't be trusted if you Google his name he didn't do very well after the series ended. He got sent to prison
@@flippantname whats his 2nd name?
@@howey935 Taylor
@@flippantname thanks mate appreciate your fast reply.
@@howey935 no worries
Even considering the age of this documentary, the people in it look wildly unfashionable; as though they've just stepped out of 1995.
I’m thinking ‘86!x
To be fair some of the guests and other staff look and act more up-to-date, but you're definitely right about the hotel it does look frumpy.
The guests are one missing paycheck from Can’t Pay We’ll Take It Away. Common and lower class
😂
@@JGJGAGSGpoor people can also go on holiday man
Never fails to amaze me how they NEVER get those grotty front doors painted.....first impressions and all that!
The outside of the windows too
That’s one of more than a dozen things wrong as you walk in
Yeah I saw that too, it's seems to be a common thing with small businesses, a local windows manufacturer has the crappiest sign outside his premises in faded paint and sagging hardboard saying 'Richards Aluminium' & it's barely readable & all it tells you is that these people have no pride in their work and no clue about first impressions.
He used to babysit for her four children now they are married 😨wonder if they are still together.
Marks such a likeable guy
"We've done it all, I've had three motor homes!" Ha ha
Christian ended up going to prison after stealing from one of his next employers. I’m sure he enjoyed it.
This show is full of wonderful people !
What do their houses look like if they think these rooms are nice?
I actually thought the same every time I see them giving 'oh that's lovely' 😅
They probably live in caravan parks
This is the funniest thing i have ever seen on here fair play x
This has to have been written because these are not people they are characters. Like this is comedy gold.
Those two couples are made for each other.
Aye, cos no-one else would ave 'em. Chuffin' losers.
This is outstanding tv 😂👏🏻
"I've had three motorhomes!" lol
I think he has the worst, most unsupportive staff. They don't even try and embrace his ideas and he does seem to know what he's talking about but he can't do it all on his own.
20:30 I love this couple. They are so warm hearted and open.
this series made me quit smoking
He's like Alan Partridge and David Brents love child!
Ryan the lifeguard is a bit of a dish 😍
Christian is jealous of the younger bar staff, why??? He is jealous of their youth, pure and simple
Markie‘s managed to run a true goldmine into bankruptcy. I don’t know where his millions came from but it wasn’t from hotel management
I think it was failing financially
Before he got it. His arrogance
Was that he could turn it around. His management skills
Are too disfunctional to turn
It around.
Christian well fancies Zack. Trying to be all overbearing on him to stifle his raging hormones. And Zack’s like, not bovvered! 😄
i think its funny but that alison gets on my wick thinks shes perfect
That Alison is too rude n too loud!!!
She's a proper gobshite 😂
Sounds like someone out of kids show Ben and Holly
I like Zac feel sorry for him ,probably the best member of the staff
Great image for the hotel smoking out at the front door Christian. He does nothing but smokes
Spain… Portugal… We’ve done it all 😂
Two arms and legs you are in.. I think that statement defines Alison..
Lol wasn't Zack employee of the month a couple episodes ago?
That was Ryan.
Mark you should have your own channel assessing hotels and insentives for improvement
I can tell from watching this programme 10 minutes in, that Zach bloke is the smartest of the lot.
Is Alison the twin sister of Andy (I want that one) from Little Britain? Is her hair done by Max Wall's stylist?
A prerequisite to work at this place is you have to be a smoker.
Low viewing figures put an end to this series, could have watched forever...sad face
I never knew it existed until today, I expect if they done a better job advertising it would of been a hit.
Is there anything more depressing than a singles night?
31:33 - check out the picking of that nose, looked like he was searching for his brain !!
Makes you wonder how much Christian robbed off Mark.
This is the most British documentary i've ever seen 😂😂
A 1920's night, flappers would be fun.
The couples are so lovely prrrr
I can’t stand Christian. He’s trying to sabotage Mark in my opinion. The young man he’s bullying is because the chap isn’t interested in him
Exactly 💯
@22.36 Guess he interviewed you then Alison!
Does anyone know how long mark Jenkins actually owned the grovsner hotel 🤔
I would love to work there. Even for low wage. I love the place and would work all depts.
Rather you than me 😆
Yet again Christian uses Marks money and hotel to play dress up,can't he run any other type of night?,always seems to do the same kind of night,meeting his own needs and not thinking about the affect it has on the hotel's name and reputation, he couldn't run a bath,very unprofessional.
He's in prison now meeting everybody else needs...lol
That Christian is absolutely deluded. He just does not have a clue what to do. The tacky screaming queen
big bird I’ve not been in a hotel without one but yes, you are right😂
wonder if he still runs this faulty tower hotel
A JACK-OOZEH....hey up mate, ee bah gum
your a great bloke

Is the hotel still there ?
Yes
Dave obviously grassed him up.
Christian reminds me so much of Lizzie from wife swap !!
😂😂😂
Essentially, Christian gets paid for smoking!
Egg mayonaise was also on the fawlty towers menu. A true classic!
you cant beat a nice cold egg mayo buttie, the staple diet of every beach trip with the kids.
@@qrphfradio7753 Banana buttie was mine, love!
My gran used to eat egg mayonnaise all the time. So 1960s
Such unique people!fun show!
Another Channel has uploaded all of these. Why haven’t you included the episode number? This isn’t the first episode of the season.
It says season 2, episode 6 In the description!
There is also a playlist with all the episodes of this tv series on this channel.
Because the squirrels intercepted it.
Is this hotel still open?
Not under Mark's management, no.
He sold it to local hotel owner. I think it's still there.
He wants christan to treat him with respect?
The kid showed up LATE and thought it was ok because he went out the night before. Waste of space.
on the other hand Christian more than likely fancies him so is looking for excuses to be mean to him lol.
Plus he totally slept with the girl that he took down the pool to 'have a look'. Bet more liquid was added to the pool by the end of the night!

Cold air for gloss mark.. cold air 😁
I feel sick watching them constantly smoking 🤢🤮

Christian and alison rinsed him
Jack - Ooozie
If this was filmed in 2020 and the manager/owner was hoping for a great Summer then I guess it all turned to custard when covid arrived.

If i had an employee who spoke to me the way she does to mike,.. i'd pay a disgruntled arab to fly a plane into her.
"People can re-come". Mark's lines are they written by him or somebody creative genius?
Really wish Mark would just focus on the basics for now.
Hope the hotel got paid and it’s not Free television ?!

I recall watching this Years ago, probably over 10 Years now, are these recent updates, surely they are not still going strong, hehehe
Anyone know what happened to mark
In Spain marrying dogs
He does cameo videos now and tours up and down the country doing event nights
Christian ended up in prison.
How’d you know?
OhMyGoodness really? That's wild, what for?
