THE GRAND PARTY HOTEL
BBC1, 8pm
WITH flamingos on one ceiling, a Wonderland room with upside furniture and jacuzzis, gold and neon everywhere you look, The Shankly Hotel in Liverpool is like nothing you’ve seen before.
It is a party hotel, with themed rooms for up to 24 guests, billed as affordable luxury.
People flock from all over the UK to celebrate everything from birthdays and baby showers, to marriages and divorces.
The extraordinary decor is an acquired taste, a massive hit with the Insta crowd.
“It will grow on me,” says new, extremely strait-laced, general manager Lyndon, who’s struggling to understand the hashtag room names.
In this episode, Laura arrives with a gang of mates ready to celebrate her divorce. Liam, from guest relations, ensures that she gets a black veil and ball and chain in her room.
Elsewhere, Liverpool bridesto-be Trudie and Danielle get help from the hotel’s wedding planner.
Wonderful heartwarming, extraordinary carnage.
