 Rated 10/10
as the management, maids, porters, guests and kitchen staff - and the ghosts in the attic - at the hotel splendide prepare for a relaxing summer's evening for some, including the grande dame arriving by chauffeured limousine - and the hard work of preparing everything just so, in the public and private rooms, and of producing perfection under the eagle-eyed gaze of the chef for others, only the lovers spooning on the top floor's balcony have noticed - and even they totally misconstrue - it's the night of the full moon...

- with individual plots starting off in the different rooms, running and up and down the staircases, and through the attics, and in the cellars, as well as in the kitchens, and moving - sometimes with difficulty, sometimes running rampant - from one site to another in the cutaway double spread cross-section views of the hotel, their interweaving makes it seem perfectly reasonable that a great ape in a voluminous dress should somehow take centre-stage for a while, for some, whilst a misguided flying saucer crashes into one tower of the hotel - and the bopping vampire disturbs someone or other's mummy, and her majesty's finest boys in blue break in to - well, make matters even worse, in fact...

- and aliens kidnap the possibly innocent chef from the midst of all the chaos caused - with what in mind, exactly ?

- and all, to what end?

- and where did the over-excited, over-sexed boa constrictor come from ?

- not to mention the passing pink elephant poling, or rather, being poled, by ?

- ah; but that would be telling...
