ITV1 comedy series Benidorm is switching to six hour-long episodes when it returns this summer, creator Derren Litten has revealed.

The actor and writer posted via Twitter: "Don't know if I told you guys, series three all episodes are one-hour long!"

The show, which starred the late Wendy Richard, initially ran with six half-hour episodes in 2007. The following year, it was upped to an eight-episode run.

Litten also said that a one-hour special is to be expected. "With the special we been filming equivalent of 14 episodes," he tweeted.

An ITV spokesperson confirmed the special episode, telling DS it will "follow directly on after series two, so picks up on the beach at the wedding".

It was also confirmed that all the cast are back filming. The one-hour special is expected to air at the end of May.

Big mistake making the show 1 hour long, I think 30mins was just right
Also bad news for Big Brother if it returns to the Friday night slot

I don't think its a mistake, I always thought it felt cut short with 30 minutes

I hope ITV move it back to a Thursday (nout to do with BB), I preferred it then. Its pretty easy to forget to catch up with it especially as they don't repeat it much, but BB is on about 6 times on Saturday

Madge is amazing, I remember most of her one liners

"when my waters broke I was half way up some ladders cleaning windows. Mrs Carr next door thought I wrung my shammy out and missed the bucket"

"I'm not one of those racialists. We had a black man live next door to us once and he was no bother"

"You're a big fat lad aren't you?"

"Lets get the bull out and stick some fireworks up its a*se"
