    I agree with d@gp!

    Just like The Wire, I could see this working well for ABC2 in the near future…

    Thank you David. I love Hotel Babylon and was wondering if and when a new series was being made.
    Hotel B won’t be quite the same without Max Beasley, however it’s always been a great ensemble cast of characters so I’m presuming the newbies will fit in well.

    Hooray! Here’s another fine show the Nork Network had no idea how to make it work for them.
