急急急試以「Hotel Babylon 星級酒店」作短講 要講2分鐘 幫幫手 Thank Q!!!!!!

Hotel Babylon is a BBC television drama series based on the book of the same name by Imogen Edwards-Jones and "Anonymous", first shown in January 2006. Produced by independent production company Carnival Films and screened on BBC One on Thursday nights at 9pm, it stars Tamzin Outhwaite and Max Beesley. It has proven to be a hit in the United Kingdom with the ratings as it frequently had around 5 million viewers each episode and winning their timeslot narrowly beating ITV1's rival dramas, Eleventh Hour and Footballer's Wives (latter competition in the series). The finale of the first series obtained 5.74 million viewers, the second series opened with 5.79 million before rising to 6.6 million viewers for episode 2.[1]

The second series ended on 12 April 2007. A third series for 2008 was announced on air on the same date, with the line "you can check into Hotel Babylon next year on BBC One."

The first series is now being shown on Living, on Saturday nights at 10pm. In the book Hotel Babylon, more than ten years' worth of Anonymous's hotel experience are condensed into a fictionalised day. The TV series uses the same characters but tells the stories—with a connecting theme within each episode—over the space of a week or so.


Hotel Babylon is a tantalizing insight into the world of 5-star hotels. Only the richest and the most famous stay at this exclusive hotel. Max Beesley stars as Charlie, announced as the new manager at the end of the second series, along with many other dedicated staff that try to accommodate the high demands of the guests of Hotel Babylon.





comments from internet :

I always had the idea that the BBC just made endless adaption's of Jane Eyre and other costume dramas. How wrong I was! In the new millennium the BBC has the same status as the American HBO. They spend their dough on innovative, well crafted and highly enjoyable drama of the highest level. ''Hotel Babylon'' is a little pearl, together with ''Life on Mars'', ''State of Play'' and many, many other BBC-productions.

In Holland they aired Hotel Babylon together with Desperate Housewives. A nice combination, both shows do have much things in common. They both have a trendy atmosphere combined with a dark sense of humor, witty dialog and a cast of colorful characters. Hotel Babylon is slightly more deep because it shows the world of the rich and famous as a rotten world; one that is corrupted by preposterous needs, adultery, prostitution, crime, arrogance, the using of others, etc. Every episode has a moral message in it for anyone who wants to see it, cleverly hidden so it doesn't feel like its writers want to push their opinions down your throat.

I must say that the romantic tension between Max Beesley and Tamzin Outwaithe is another huge plus. Both actors are really the kind of charismatic actors that carry any show to a higher level, most certainly this one.
