Yes it's humour is still questionable, and it's full of seedy characters, but somehow it just works, and has some very funny moments. 'Tonya' a great addition - ye gods, but she's awful!

I did read somewhere that Joan Collins is going to be in it.

I laughed at the Solanas new 'state of the art' wifi computer centre that Les was fixing with a screwdriver. ;D

Benidorrn season 6 had me laughing a lot. Good to see Derren Little was the writer of this one. It was like meeting old friends in the first episode....I thoroughly enjoyed it. At the end credits I was suprised Ken Morley played Kenneths Uncle Berty,,,I never would have recognized him with that awful wig and huge teeth. He could have crimped pies with those choppers ;D ;D And Mick Johnson from Brookie was the doorman in the Hafia nightclub.

Some good moments ... but overall a dissapointing series and tonights last episode was virtually laugh free .... too many guest spots and cameos and not enough for the regular cast to do

I tittered a few times, but not laugh out loud funny like the first episode. It wasn`t the worst episode I`ve seen, but it wasn`t the best either. But jeez...the Krankies for gawds sake. The words scraping and barrel springs to mind.

Yes, pretty disappointing - the only saving grace for me has been the introduction of 'Tonya', but I'm afraid some of the characters just make me feel uncomfortable now, and there's very little genuine humour any more.

.... too many guest spots and cameos and not enough for the regular cast to do I quite agree, the regular characters are the ones that generate the laughs for me. Has this series been more 'smutty' or is it just me. ?

Very smutty ... I can't take to Kenneth at all, he is just so one dimensional...the other two gay chaps Gavin and Troy had so much more character and depth

I loved Gavin and Troy, and was disappointed they didn`t come back. I also liked Jeff too. Shame he only had 2 seasons. Or was it one? I didn`t care for his mother Doreen much though I liked the two together. Doreen wasn`t much cop on her own.

After Jeff and Troy left, Doreen and Gavin were teamed up for awhile till they brought Doreens daughter into it for one series

Oh really? That`s brilliant. The worst decision they made was to get rid of Cris Rock, and bring in that awful Sherry Hewson. I really liked Cris`s character Janey. Sherry`s character Joyce adds nothing to the show.

I liked Liam when he first came into it as Les`s son. But as soon as they teamed him up with Kenneth, his character became childish and tedious.

I agree about Liam Wendy

This is Hannah Waddingham who played Tonya it got to Number 41 in 2000 .. it's quite good

That`s lovely, thanks Nick. Hannah has a beautiful voice doesn`t she. I wonder why she never made a career out of such a gorgeous voice. Seems kind of a waste of talent to me.

aww really Nick? I probably won`t watch the series after next then.....if there is one after this one. Benidorm wouldn`t be Benidorm without the Garveys and Madge.

I suppose you have to give others a chance....they will probably come back after a break like Doreen & Geoff
