Mark Jenkins might well be described as David Brent, Basil Fawlty and Paddy McGuinness all rolled into one. The hotel manager from Torquay has become one of the most familiar faces on British television, thanks to his starring role in Channel 4 s The Hotel. The programme counts its viewers in the millions (who, according to Mark, didn't all tune in by mistake), making it one of the network s most consistently popular shows.
