Broadcast: Dec. 16, 1979-April 6, 1980. Back at the Bentinck Hotel doing her incomparable and sometimes scandalous thing will be that hotelier par excellence, Louisa Trotter (Gemma Jones). The sixteen new episodes pickup where the original left off, in 1911 and continue the story through World War I and its aftermath. Still involved in Louisa's life is Charlie, whose marriage doesn't interfere in their relationship, her parents, the Major, still short on cash but long on stories, Starr and his dog still man the lobby, and Mrs. Cochrane still cooks the Bentinck's famous gourmet dishes. Ethel, Violet and Mary are back and becoming more integral to the hotel's work. Finally, Louisa's daughter with Charlie, who has been living with foster parents, reenters her life.
