Benidorm - Series 1 (DVD)

~~~Why I watched Benidorm~~~ Its only in the last week or so that I have watched Benidorm. Its not because I had not heard of it, in fact I had seen the advertisements on tv but to be totally honest I had not tried to watch it because Im not normally a huge fan of Johnny Vegas (I really should be because he is from the same town as me!). My parents bough the box set a couple of weeks ago and they recommended I give them a go. ~~~Series 1: Benidorm is as you would expect set in the sunny Spanish resort of Benidorm. The series center's around a number of holidaymakers visiting a fictional all-inclusive resort called ...  Read the complete review

I had heard of the ITV television programme Benidorm before but hadn't watched it , until recently when the third series was showing , and my mum who is a fan of the show and has watched every episode told me how good it was.

Benidorm is an ITV1 comedy series written by Derren Little of The Catherine Tate Show. The show is arguably one of the funniest comedies on British TV at the moment, unfortunately though Benidorm is very underrated and sadly it hasn't achieved that shows like Gavin & Stacey and Peep Show have.

Benidorm is hillarious, crass but funny - Benidorm is undoubtedly one of the most under-rated British comedies in recent years. Written by Derek Litten (The Catherine Tate Show) it manages to capture the British package holiday destination perfectly. Anyone who has been to such destinations will almost definitely relate to a fair number of the characters who despite their oddities, you will almost definitely warm to. The actors pull off their parts excellently and the families, really seem like families. So who do we have character wise? Well there is Geoff Maltby (Johnny Vegas) and his mum, Geoff has been Lancashire Pub Quiz Champion since 1994 ...  Read the complete review
