Hotel Babylon was a BBC television drama series based on the book of the same name by Imogen Edwards-Jones, that aired from 19 January 2006 to 14 August 2009, produced by independent production company Carnival Films for BBC One. The show followed the lives of workers at a glamorous five-star hotel. In 2009, actress Alexandra Moen mentioned in an interview that the show was cancelled after its fourth series, leaving the series 4 finale cliffhanger unresolved. One reason might have been due to the fall in ratings. Drama series set in the sexy world of the luxury five star hotel, on a journey... beyond the facade of the smiling faces and glittering chandeliers and into the frenetic, non-stop world of the hotel staff. The show often attracts well known actors and celebrities, normally posing as guests staying at the hotel. There were four series broadcast, each consisting of 8 episodes. The show achieved high ratings at around 5 million viewers each episode and winning its time slot. The programme often beat shows shown on other channels in the same time slot, such as Eleventh Hour, Footballers' Wives, and Ladette to Lady, all shown on ITV1.
