Probably a much watch for those who enjoyed BBC's Inside Claridge's from a couple of years back, who's thread I can't find btw.
Hotel India
Documentary series going behind the scenes of India's oldest and most famous hotel, the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel. The Taj is where the super-rich come to be treated like the maharajahs of India's past and where rooms can cost up to £9000 per night, all in a city where half of the population still lives below the poverty line. Over six months the film-makers follow the hotel's 1500 strong staff as they perform their duties with the mantra 'Guest is God' in mind.

I'm watching too, it's a nice hotel, we've been shown some grand suites but I'd be interested to see what their cheapest rooms are like, personally I prefer to stay in much smaller hotels. Off topic, but is your name Peter McKay, I'm familiar with your nom de plume as I once worked I horse racing.
Even the Tata suite doesn't sound too bad if £9000 a night gets you 15 rooms. All you need is to have a whip around with lots of friends and you could have a great party up there.
Then again, she's 80 odd isn't she, not such a nightmare, when I heard her age.
That said she's haunched over, like an OAP and the hands...
I rather like Mr Chaskar(sp) production team must have rubbed their hands in glee when they found him.
LOL.... scary Mary sprung to mind!
I want to know too. Maybe Mr President?
Like the General Manager said, they're used to 5 star service.
Plenty of people would complain in a pub if they got served wine in a straight glass or dirty glass, so it's not just the rich who are fussy.
I must admit I did have a Fnarr, Fnaarr moment with all that nuts related talk.
The interviewer sounds English, so I wouldn't be surprised if all that focus on nuts wasn't intended to be taken on two levels.

Characters a plenty {Mr Chaskar my favourite} plus the Hotel looks stunning after the attack just 5 years ago.
Great narration from Paul McGann too.
Do you work for the BBC?
Their "ordinary" rooms are also very nice. I have stayed in the old building and the newer one at the side of it.. There were red roses in the room that had had all the thorns taken from them, hand made chocolates and fruit.
Taj hotels are always well run wherever they are.
No, but no bugger replied, so I made a tongue in cheek comment.
Joking aside... WOW!! The hotel is stunning and if I had the money would be there like a shot.
