The Solana holiday resort in Spain welcomes a regular group of British holiday makers each year.

They include enthusiastic middle-aged swingers Jacqueline and Donald; snobby Kate and Martin Weedon; Lancashire's pub quiz champion Geoff 'The Oracle' Maltby and his mum; Gay couple Gavin and Troy; and the loud Garvey family.

Our Review: Initially, we didn't think much of this all-star ITV1 ensemble piece when it was first broadcast back in 2007, but over time we admit it has grown into a very likeable programme. Benidorm is by no means a classic, but it's not terrible either, and now acts as a very enjoyable way to spend half-an-hour.

The extended eight episode second series contained a couple of particularly good episodes that really impressed us.

It clearly also impressed the audience as the latest series managed big ratings, despite going head-to-head with BBC1 juggernauts My Family, and then HIGNFY.

Unsurprisingly ITV have announced it has ordered a third series, comprising of nine new episodes - they will be broadcast in 2009.
