A friend of mine said I should watch "Hotel babylon". I was a bit reluctant because I have seen so many contemporary TV series and most are too hi tech for my taste. I love 60s and 70s TV, but I decided to give it a go. SO GLAD I followed my friend's advice because that is a bloody good series. The stories grab you immediately. You get to know the characters and they grow on you. Some characters leave the show in the third series but the scripts are so strong you keep watching it. Bravo BBC for releasing a total winner again ! FULL MARKS.
