Channel 4 bosses have often said they don't want copycat ideas, so Monkey is quite bemused to see new show Ruth Watson's Hotel Rescue in the schedule tonight. That's the same Watson who used to front The Hotel Inspector on Channel Five. Channel 4 poached her in November 2007, promising a range of fresh new programmes from the former hotelier, with her first series about rescuing country properties. However, Watson obviously feels more at home in her old world, with her new series featuring her helping people set up hotels. Five has successfully revitalised The Hotel Inspector with new host Alex Polizzi. Will Watson be able to do just as well with her new show?
