30 Days of Telly Meme - Day 16
1 Jun 2010 07:02 pmDay 16 - Your guilty pleasure show: Hotel Babylon
It's definitely not a great TV show, but I got hooked on S3. After all, nothing ever goes really badly wrong, celebrities visit each week and send themselves up, and it had Emma Pierson as Anna, the receptionist desperate to have a piece of the wealth for herself. I was a bit disappointed with last year's run, and I never saw S1 or 2, so maybe I just chanced on it at the right moment to enjoy a bit of well-done light relief. (So many pretty people capable of doing proper comedy pratfalls is, I feel, worthy of note in itself...). But if it does reappear, I'll have to give it a look, if only for Alexandra Moen as the slightly loopy press officer, Emily.
Sometimes you need a bit of escapism, and this one at least seems not to take itself too seriously!
( Full list of days )
