Benidorm - Series 8 [DVD] [2016]

Product Information

The humor was an intelligent mixture of broad gags and nuanced characterization that always went down smooth (except for when it...didn't, I'll get to that). The plots were engaging and the format of each episode corresponding to the events of a day made the whole thing just feel relaxed no matter what happened. Note: This is the only episode where Jacqueline Stewart is absent, making Mateo the only character from Series 1 to appear in this episode. Set in the Mediterranean sun, it was ingeniously simply to just make a show where characters were just always on holiday but yet still find problems. The Dawsons' holiday starts with a bang when Eddie has an accident and Sheron's fashion taste is put into question. An old inheritance puts a smile Kenneth's face. Meanwhile, Tiger and Joey are in a party mood as Sam, the new holiday rep and former guest at the Solana, takes them under her wing.

Fox Adapting ITV Comedy 'Benidorm' for Possible Summer Run (Exclusive)". The Hollywood Reporter. 18 October 2016.

Kenneth DuBeq - larger than life character that, until this series, has possibly been one of the 'fans faves'. Brilliantly funny delivering cutting, insulting lines - and fits the Benidrom stereotype so convincingly. Cannot believe that more was not made from the inheritance plot from Uncle Herbert - and even sadder that a great actor such as Ken Morley, has not been used more frequently.Mateo reveals his home life is a disaster, his mother-in-law Dolores is threatening to kill him, so Lesley urges the barman to move out and start a new life. Clive, Tiger and Terri come up with a plan to retrieve Clive's 5,000 euros from dodgy property developer Monty - while Glynn's wife, Rhiannon, arrives at the Solana resort; but there's no sign of Donald.
