Is this ITV's way forward, take a good TV show, get rid of all the best actors, and fill most of the hour with crap adverts.
What a crock of ste.

Worth watching all the adverts for:

Matthew Kelly as "Cyril Babcock" and Mateo pronounced it as ('lost in translation moment'):

Squirrel Bigcock.

Sorry, but I sh*t my shorts at that line it was so funny.

Watched the first 2 episodes and didn't even crack a laugh which is a shame the first 2 series were brilliant. Time to move on itv.

Did ITV get rid of them, or did they leave?

Anyway I agree, shockingly bad these days. They should have killed it after the second series.

Is Benidorm the programme with the old woman that looks like a lizard?

Can't remember what series we're up to, but the last and current series have been awful, panto TV at its worst with rubbish b list actors. Used to be a treat to watch, but now its pretty dire.

How much humour can you extract from this idea?

My bet is they've exceeded their quota by a long way.

I thought tonight's episode was good (best of the current series) and written by Steve Pemberton.

After last week's brief improvement, I thought last night was about the least funny hour of television I've ever seen, and I'm including Princess Diana's funeral in that. The whole "choke the chicken" scene must've been written by some kind of halfwit. Double entendre can be funny, but that wasn't even close.

Benidorm is my guilty pleasure, it should be everything I dislike in a program yet I'm drawn to it each week. I just make sure I remove the brain before watching.
