I think there's some people on here that watch this? Think there might be a thread too but this deserves its own one

Benidorm is back in 2014 for sixth series



ITV’s award winning comedy Benidorm is back for a sixth series starting in the New Year.

Transmission date to be confirmed.

Returning to enjoy the four star hotel treatment are Mick Garvey (Steve Pemberton), Janice Garvey (Siobhan Finneran) and Madge Harvey (Sheila Reid). Viewers will be surprised to see how grown up Michael Garvey (Oliver Stokes) has become – he’s now an adventurous teenager who’s set to cause his parents many troubled afternoons by the pool.

It’s all change in series six with the arrival of the Dykes, a brand new family set to stir things up at the Solana resort. Heading up the new family are Clive (Perry Benson) and Tonya (Hannah Waddingham) – a lively Watford couple with Clive firmly under the thumb of his no nonsense wife. They bring their two children with them, Bianca (Bel Powley) and Tiger (Danny Walters) - both are young, single and looking for fun!.

Almost immediately the Dykes come across the Garveys – will it be a meeting of minds or will the two families clash over the Solana pool?

Other favourites returning are popular swingers Donald Stewart (Kenny Ireland) and Jacqueline Stewart (Janine Duvitski) who intend to claim their free holiday that Joyce Temple Savage (Sherrie Hewson) promised them at the end of the last series. Hunky barman Mateo (Jake Canuso) still holds fort behind the pool bar with the help of friendly transsexual Les/Lesley (Tim Healey).

Liam (Adam Gillen) has now joined Kenneth DuBeke (Tony Maudsley) at his hair salon ‘Blow & Go’ – the very discreet and selective hair and beauty emporium within the Solana resort.

Later in the series will see the return of Martin Weedon (Nicholas Burns) who arrives on a loud and lairy stag do – he was last seen at the Solana resort in series 3. He’s very single on this occasion and finds himself having a ‘drunken encounter’ with one of the known female holidaymakers.

Benidorm is also known for it’s guest visitors and series six will be no exception with a wealth of talent visiting the Solana Resort. Matthew Kelly will return as Cyril Babcock, Ken Morley features as the Head of a local Hairdressing Mafia and Phillip Olivier will star as Jason - a sexy new barman. Later in the new series run, The Krankies (Pepe Le-Cruz and his wife Agnes) and Rustie Lee (Queenie) will star as friends of swingers Donald and Jacqueline and legendary Hollywood star Joan Collins arrives as Crystal Hennesy-Vas the CEO of the Solana Hotel Group.

The show’s creator Derren Litten has written all 7 episodes of the new series – "I'm so excited about series 6 of Benidorm, probably more excited than all previous series. Apart from Dynasty series 5 of course, what could possibly top the Moldavian Massacre?" says Derren.

Benidorm has been commissioned for ITV by Elaine Bedell, ITV’s Director of Comedy & Entertainment and Comedy Commissioning Editor Myfanwy Moore. Myfanwy Moore says “ "We are all thrilled at ITV to be sharing the sun beds again with our most popular and enduring comedy characters. This series promises to be the sunniest and strongest ever!"

Benidorm is produced by Lucy Armitage and directed by David Sant (1-4) and Sandy Johnson (5-7) with Ben Cavey, Derren Litten and Sophie Clarke Jervoise as Executive Producers. Ben Cavey says “We are so pleased to have been back in Spain filming series six of Benidorm. Derren Litten has written seven fantastic scripts, which might be seven of the best episodes yet. Things are certainly heating up by the pool in this series, with some great new characters as well as the return of many of our well-loved regulars”.

I know this seems to be the popular opinion but IMO series five was one of the funniest series

Kenneth is an amazing character, Liam's improved series on series and his dad well hilarious

I've even grown to like Joyce, though I miss the other woman, I forget her name now

[reece(:]

They need to bring back Johnny Vegas and his mother, Crissy Rock and Chantelle and ditch the dopey ginger guy and Kenneth.

[Marsh.]

I find Kenneth mildly amusing but that Liam and his father (the drag queen?) I hate.

[Jack_]

Johnny Vegas' character was overrated, I liked his mum though. Chantelle?! She was an extra at best

Kenneth is the best character, along with Madge obv

[Samm]

can't wait

I really hate that Johnny Vegas and his Mam aren't in it now, especially his Mam - hilarious.

Nothing beats the episode when Vegas said he fought off the burglars and explained who they were to his Mum and when she told the cops about it she'd got them all wrong lmfao.

"One looked like Robert Mugabe!!!!"

[Jamesy]

His mum was funny. Johnny I found a bit hit or miss. I love Johnny, he's a funny guy, although on Benidorm I didn't find him consistently funny.

[Jamesy]

I'm glad it's back this year though. It's one of those shows I never want to see end! :P

Don't like this, and I've given it a fair go.

[cheeky_monkey]

Watching it on ITV+1

[Cherie]

This show veers between being awful to being goodish, I wish Tim Healy would **** off though, it was never funny and it gets less funny with each ep.
