8/10
A grand second episode.
Sleepin_Dragon24 March 2024
Kate's nightmare in Benidorm continues, used to a higher standard of living, she's fed up of dodgy toilets ans stolen televisions. Donald and Jacqueline continue to describe to all and sundry about their extra marital goings on.

Just as good as the opener, the characters have settled in very quickly, and what was clear by this point, is that the show wasn't simply a one hit wonder, ITV had finally made a sitcom that people wanted to watch.

Gavin stole the opener for me, but what definitely became apparent here, is that the star of the show, was Madge, people really seemed to take to the chain smoking, sun tanned grandmother, she's so coarse, so unpleasant, but she's fabulous.

Favourite scene, perhaps where Donald is describing the big lad to Mick, hilarious, Gavin once again gets some great lines.

8/10.

Episode 2
Prismark1030 June 2023
The Garvey family are reeling from the aftermath of Chantelle's pregnancy. It is a shock to the family and there is speculation regarding who the father may be.

Worse are the barbed comments from the chain smoking grandmother Madge. Her acidic put downs upset just about everyone.

Meanwhile Kate Weedon is still treating this as the holiday from hell. Only the flirting from the barman soothes her temperament.

Gay couple Troy and Gavin are shocked by some of the going ons in a local club by a geriatric artiste. It is the kind of thing you expect to see in a go go bar in Pattaya.

As Mick Garvey tries to take his mind of his own domestics. He discovers that Donald and Jacqueline Stewart are swingers.

The second episode tries to expand on some of the characters, as well as painting the holiday resort as a bit sleazy underneath. I did think this was not as funny as the opener. Maybe because Kate is just so irritating.
