Didn't he say his hotel chain was called "Hobotel"? Who the fuck would want to stay in something called "Hobotel"?! (actually, I'm guessing no-one, hence appearance of rubbish night-time bailiffs with an eye for antique chairs)
* Rich Dad, plus rich ex-wife (the latter either big ol' divorce settlement or big ol' life insurance policy, depending on what happened to Francesca).

1) Egg is happiest when cooking, but still has no idea how to deal with his girlfriend (and now son)2) Warren has "issues"3) Anna is "complex"4) Milly is neurotic 5) Miles is a twat
Give them all (Anna excepted) implausible careers, add an "edgy" (except it wasn't) "zeitgest-friendly" (except it wasn't) plot device (which didn't really work anyway since so much took place away from the reality TV lassie) and, hurrah, you have a cobbled-together-in-minutes TV show and Amy Jenkins is a bit more rich.
(I liked some of the nods to the old series, and some of the one-liners were nice, and the cast all fell back into character very quickly. But it was exceptionally unsatisfying)

i also liked camera girl's accent. and the one scene where she started recording warren taking overdose and which relied on you knowing the significance of an out of focus red led.
