When Ferris agrees to look after his sister's seedy hotel during her temporary absence in Benidorm he does not anticipate the arrival of a notorious journalist who writes a critical column about hotels in a Sunday newspaper. Or that this arrival will coincide with a visit to the hotel of an assortment of guests whose guilty secrets they do not wish to have divulged. As a result, Ferris is caught up in a dizzy round of lies and subterfuge as he tries to protect the hotel's reputation in the eyes of the visiting journalist, a task made more difficult by the fact that he does not know which of his guests is the journalist! Derek Benfield's comedy is a riotous sequel to his earlier play Bedside Manners, which has been such a big success around the world.
