I think after Geoffrey Hutchings died it kind of threw the writers off and they basically had to scramble and come up with something which is why there wasn’t that many laughs in it, I do agree with you though it wasn’t particularly that funny

I love that I’m watching this IN Benidorm itself!
My town is about an hour outside the city, but I’m currently in the bus station at Benidorm 😂
I think that although this series generally isn’t quite as funny, there are occasional classic and hilarious moments to take you by surprise! 😂

I like the fact that it explains that Pauline has a south African accent, then straight after king says I think it's a very posh English accent, come on dude!! 😂

I think the reason this series isn't as good is because of the death of Geoffrey Hutchings (Mel) likely threw off the writing, there was probably storylines already written that had Mel in that had to be rewritten.

She has the same accent as her lovely mother Annette Crosbie who played Margaret in one foot in the grave. You can hear her speak in this clip:

Season 4 isn't the best but it gets better again from Season 5

Your David Attenborough impression sounds more like Jason Statham.

Liam is a character that you have to get to know and you will realise that like Donald and Jacqueline (the swingers) he has a heart of gold and his character does get better throughout the show.

Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights is a show in the same vein as Benidorm except that it's set in a working mens club and it aired a few of years before Benidorm. Also The Royle Family is considered one of the best British sitcoms You and Queen Boomer should definitely react to them at some point.

Selina Griffiths (who is British in real life) who played Pauline said in an interview when she joined the cast: "Unfortunately in one episode where we were running over we weren't able to film the scene when it is explained why she's got this very strange South African accent. She's sort of adopted it to sound more posh than she is."

The Christmas special was messed up by the poor chap who played Mel passing away. So give it a pass 😭. I admit though it has gone down hill I can’t recall if it picks up.

Posh??? 😄 it's a South African accent. They speak English too in South Africa. Definitely not what's called posh.

I agree RE Twitter. I did have one but deleted it. The only thing I liked it for was the super up to date information, like if there had been a major news event, sporting events, election results, and so on.

I've also just realised for the first time, how childless this resort actually is. Apart from Michael, of course. Every time I went abroad these all inclusive places were packed with screaming kids.

I find most of the new characters cringey to watch. I mean, I found the original cast cringey, but not insufferable.
