''The Hotel Inspector'' is an observational documentary television series which is broadcast on the British terrestrial television station, Channel 5, and by other networks around the world. Since 2008, each episode sees celebrated hotelier and businesswoman Alex Polizzi visit a struggling British hotel and try to turn its fortunes by giving advice and suggestions to the owner. Between 2005 and 2008, Ruth Watson was featured in this role. ==Summary== The series began in late September 2005 and was an instant ratings hit; the show attracted 2.5 million viewers at its peak and this prompted Channel 5 to commission another series. The second series was broadcast in July 2006, followed by a third series in September 2007. The show won a Royal Television Society Award in November 2006. Accompanied with the third series, an additional complementary series, ''The Hotel Inspector: Unseen'' ran on Fiver (now 5 *), one of Channel 5's digital channels, immediately after the main show. It showed unseen footage, including video diaries shot by the hoteliers, revealing their reactions to the inspector's opinions. After three series of ''The Hotel Inspector'', Ruth Watson left a message on her website stating that she would not be filming another series, despite being one of the channel's most watched shows. Watson subsequently signed an exclusive contract with Channel 4 and fronted shows such as ''Country House Rescue'' and ''Ruth Watson's Hotel Rescue'' (which is similar in format to ''The Hotel Inspector''). Hotelier and businesswoman Alex Polizzi, the niece of Sir Rocco Forte, took over as ''The Hotel Inspector'' for the show's fourth series, and has remained in this role since. Polizzi has also hosted three other series: the first in which she inspects and improves failing family businesses (BBC Two's ''The Fixer''), a second in which she explores her ancestral Italy (''Secret Italy''), and a third in which she auditions head chefs for various hotels and restaurants (''Chefs on Trial''). A twelfth series of the show has been commissioned. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Hotel Inspector」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
