ITV @ 9 pm tonight - about as stupid and non-PC as a programme can get, and completely unmissable (IMHO!) Happy

    Totally agree, one of the few programmes I really enjoy.

    I'll be too busy trying to catch up from last night's offerings. I've got War & Peace, Deutschland 83, and the Tsars to watch.

    I like Benedorm too.  Missing Madge though.

    I love it.  It really cheers me up (despite the absolutely Non PC script) - and I quite like the potential new characters, plus those who've returned for this series!  Roll on many more episodes.

    It's one of those programmes that you don't admit to your friends you enjoy!

    Was not to impressed with the first  episode last night  the young lad joey with the Afro did't go down to well with me , the new family may take a few episodes to settle,  Grandad jury's out on him , the little girl certainly looks promising, but what a
    big relief when Mateo turned up Smile

    I think it will settle down.  I'd like to see more of the old faces.  Sheila Reid was excellent as Madge, and I think there is some suggestion that she might put in an appearance.  I wonder how Madge would get on with 'Grandad'.

    Can't stand it!

    Just goes to show how different we are in what we like taffy! Good thing too, if you ask me; it would be a poorer world if we all enjoyed exactly the same things.

    Happy. Use left and right arrows to navigate.

    There's no Benidorm without Matteo - thank goodness he returned!    Not keen on 'afro kid' but still some great jokes.   Think it maybe coming to it's end though as getting tired!

    Just caught up with the first episode over lunch. I thought it very funny especially Afro Kid as some have dubbed him!!! Good to see the delightful Honor Kneafsey as Jodie who I am sure will upstage many of the adult performers.

    Just watched part of this new series utter rubbish! I was an avid watcher of Benidorm but the acting in the latest episode is unbelievable. Bobby Knutt was a very funny comic in his day, but I think he should now call it a day along with the rest of the
    recent cast ...!!

    Must say I enjoyed it, not as much as the first series but it might grow on me.

    Did anyone spot the Meat Loaf tribute act in the Neptune bar, was he the one from BGT I wonder?

    Enjoyed the 1st couple of series, recorded this one and watched last night....oh dear...very tired, it's like a very worn pantomime standing waiting for laughs...doesn't work for us, they should have bowed out a couple of series ago.

    Ha, you've got to laugh. Not so good now as it was but afro kid cracked me up.

    We walked through Benidorm yesterday, some of the real life characters you see there should be on the telly!!

    I thought that it was very good!  Not the sort of thing that I usually like but Benidorm is an exception to the rule.  Its different and funny.

    If you've never watched it then I don't suggest you start now!  Part of the appeal is knowing how the characters have developed over all the previous series - the inter-relationships, the innuendo, and the interactions.  

    It's a love it or hate it - and as I said in my previous post, not something you want your friends to know you enjoy!

    I take back my comments about Joey - he was hilarious this week and had some guts to perform in a mankini!   Great to see some old favourites back too!

    Sorry don't want to be a damp squid   but joey doesn't do it for me.  Find it hard to believe someone who is coming over so THICK  DULL & STUPID would be abroad on holiday, can't laugh with him or at him,

    As for the rest this weeks episode seems to be getting there, and will keep watching  

    on the trailers it does show madge on a top of the range disabled scooter so it certainaly looks like she is deffinatly paying a visit as is Joan Collins

       Think Joan Collins made an appearance in the last series. Probably she needs the money.

    Watched one episode of that series. Not for me I'm afraid-----. IMHO. Second rate actors in a second rate TV series. Some people like that sort of thing so I won't knock it

    It was OK, but I think probably not as good as previous series.
