John Sullivan Gareth Gwenlan Clive Russell Peter Gunn Heartburn Hotel is a British sitcom that ran for two series on BBC One from 1998 to 2000.

The programme concerns the owner-operator and tenants of the Olympic Hotel—an establishment named in anticipation of a successful Olympic bid by the UK. Each series is six episodes long; one special aired in December 1998. Heartburn Hotel was written by John Sullivan and Steve Glover; it starred Tim Healy as the hotel's proprietor.

The first series premiered on BBC One at 10 PM on 20 July 1998. The second series aired from 23 June to 28 July 2000, at a 10:20 PM time slot.

Characters

Harry Springer and Duggie Strachan are the protagonists in the comedy. After both characters were involved in the Falklands War, they moved back to Birmingham; Harry to own the Olympic Hotel, and Duggie to become a teacher. These two characters take opposing viewpoints in almost every matter, and, although Harry pretends to sympathise with his customers, his views are radically right-wing as opposed to Duggie who emphatically empathises due to his own plight brought about by his gambling addiction. The reason Duggie accepts his landlord's overbearing boorishness dates back to the Falklands, when Harry saved his life; a fact that Harry does not let Duggie forget. Other characters include Baker (Kim Wall), Morgan (Ifan Huw Daffyd) and Scouse (Stephen Aintree).
