Just watched this that we recorded....it worked well even without some of the regular cast
Johnny Vegas,The Posh couple,The Gay couple and The Garveys daughter weren't in this episode,but Tim Healeys transvestite character was brought back and Brian Murphy has joined the cast
I was nearly in tears at the end..it seems to be developing from a 30 minute standard sitcom to a comedy/drama

I wasn't sure about this, it seemed bit hit and miss. I missed the 'Oracle' and the gay couple (didn't miss the daughter)
I thought it very sad about little Mel, ( he was my favourite character) It must have been very emotional for the cast knowing the actor was no longer alive. It was nice to see the tribute at the end of the credits.

It was brilliant. Like you Sooty I missed Geoff the Oracle and the gay couple...Troy and ? I was crying at the end I really was. Was that Eva Cassidys version of 'Over the Rainbow'? Superb version. And was that really Roy Wood? He seemed awful young if it was.

Tim Healey on rollar skates was a sight to behold. ;D

I had to laugh when he said to his son 'When have I ever done anything to embarrass you' while on Rollerskates a long red wig and a black mini skirt lol

Thank God for Corrie!! If I didn`t see the end of it last night I wouldn`t have seen the ad for Benidorm. How many episodes are there? Does anyone know? My fave couple are definatelty Donald and Jacqueline. LOL they crack me up.

Yep, safe to say I`m still loving this show... Benidorm hasn`t jumped the shark yet thankfully. There are 6 episodes in this series apparantly I`m very worried about Donald...I hope he doesn`t die from heart related problems. The guest star cameos are a wonderful touch.... Tim Healys wife Denise, Cilla Black, Melvin Hayes!!!

Did you know that the actress who plays Noreen's daughter Pauline is the daughter of Annette Crosbie. Her voice is identical. ;D

Yeah I read that too. And she`s taking over Janies job as Janie has been axed. That`s so unfair

Will there be a Christmas special of Benidorm this year?

Post by Nick on Dec 1, 2011 18:06:48 GMT
I don't think so...it just says there is a series in production to be aired next year

Good start to the new series...Sherrie Hewson seems to have a niche for playing women who are slightly snooty witrh a sense of their own importance who are really as common as muck...she did the same in 'Crossroads' and 'Barbara'

I felt it was a bit flat this week and rather on the serious side
