Default Anyone watch it? What did you think?

It started off as a bit of a comedy, couldn't stop laughing with the flashing lights on poles

How impressive was the girl at the end!! Be nice to see a follow upto that in a couple of years.

On channel 4 theres the programme where the Managing Director goes and works in their own companies, last year there was some interesting stories.

Tonight its about the hotel chain Best Western, should be interesting, bet most of the staff are Polish?

Only joking!

Yep - I did worry to start off with as it seemed the Dragons were pushing for laughs but then did improve and your right Kirsty Henshaw was impressive, apparently she only had 10 twitter followers yesterday and now 4000+

Watched that, didn't realise Best Western don't actually own the hotels, but you plug your hotel into their brand.

Bit of an eye opener, but not sure how you can have consistant quality with that business model, at least a Premier Inn will be cheap but you can expect it to be consistently half decent.
