Inside Claridges

[AverageJoe]

On now, BBC2

Anyone fancy staying in a £7000 a night suite?

Interesting array of assorted diva guests and "ooh, I am on telly" staff

 

[neonwilderness]

Yeah, pretty interesting so far. The guy answering the phone is pretty amusing

My goodness this really is another world!!!

I thought this should be renamed 'The First World Problems Show'.....

Yeah, this was a good programme. The Claridges staff all seemed really likeable, particularly the butler and the telephone guy who looked like Moby. The artist in residence seems to have a total scoosh of a job! Not sure about some of the guests, but the old American couple seemed very sweet, and the 81-year-old model

What were they called? I was trying to google them. Melker or something.......?

Yeah, was sad when it said that was their last visit

ETA, I wonder if Gordon Ramsay will make an appearance? They weren't fans

Thanks

Looking around, it looks like he was running the part of Hewlett Packard that first started making computers in the 1960s. Not hard to see why they could afford Claridges to be honest

Just finished reading that and was gonna post it.

Interesting couple. They only went out twice during their 15 day stay, I wonder where they went.

They also said she had a 'few' shares in google from it's early beginnings..........

i went from fascination through to anger watching this prog.............enjoyed it though !

I was expecting to hate everything about this program but I loved all of it
I had said earlier in the program when they were preparing the suite for the old couple, that if I was staying there I wouldn't want to go out

I just caught bits during Yotam Ottolenghi's advert breaks but liked it. Probably did not see enough to become irritated. I did see the 81-year-old model and thought she looked fantastic. Obviously had work done to her face but I thought it was done well. I want to be her when I am 81!!!!!

Her name is Carmen Dell'Orefice and I agree she looks fab for 81.

Did'nt know Claridges was owned by those pair of tax dodgers the Barclay brothers.

My goodness this really is another world!!!

The exclusive american travel agents with the $100,000 sign up fee and $25,000 yearly subs.

Silly money.

Lift Man seemed like a fairly satisfied chap

So did the Irish butler.

I too was expecting to hate it, but could see a certain charm in the staff - I hate to be fussed over so would find it impossible to stay there.

Pity we didn't get to see the japanese Britney

 

[wiskey]

The manager reminds me of John Barrowman and this is annoying me

She's stunning for any age.

I quite enjoyed watching that, I wouldn't like to stay there though. Last year we were on an £85m yacht with a staff of nearly 30 and tbh it was awful, I was handed a drink I didn't know what to do with and I carried the empty glass about for ages instead of making a ring mark on the polished mahogany
