VERY much enjoyed Seasons 1 - 7. Struggled to get through Season 8. Have now watched S09E01 and while I'll probably watch episode 2 next week I can't say that I'm looking forward to it. The show simply did not do well after the departure of the Garvey's at the end of Season 7 and, honestly, even WITH the Garvey's by the end of Season 7 show seemed to be struggling: While artistically it should have ended with Season 7, and possibly sooner, I'm sure the production company views things from the point of view of how much profit can we milk out of this .. and stretch it on as long as possible. I'm confident asserting that Season 9 will be the last season ... I honestly can't imagine any Benidorm fan getting through Season 8 and the first episode of Season 9 and wanting more.
Review of Episode #9.1
