Benidorm - Series 2 - Complete
If you’ve not caught the show before, the basic premise behind Benidorm is that it follows a group of holidaymakers, be they regulars or new visitors, at the Solana resort. The writers take little time settling people in before they start having fun with traditional holiday scenarios, hurling their characters head-first into the fun and frolics. And it all works very, very well. Thanks to its pacey, energetic script, and a plethora of quite brilliant belly-laughs, Benidorm is one of the most deliciously enjoyable comedies that ITV has produced in some time. And a lot of the credit for that too must be aimed in the direction of the cast, who are clearly having a ball here. Johnny Vegas, Steve Pemberton, Sheila Reid and Geoffrey Hutchings are among the highlights, but it’s an ensemble effort, and all the better for it. Series two of Benidorm features eight episodes, all of which are gathered together here. And with a great deal of rewatch potential, along with some uproariously memorable moments, the chances of you not thirsting for more come the end of the series are really quite slim. --Jon Foster

Amazon.co.uk Review
Benidorm proved to be a surprise hit out of nowhere for ITV, earning not just good ratings, but a sizeable amount of acclaim for the sheer number of laughs it crammed in per episode. This second series picks things up again very quickly too, having immense fun with the notion of the British being away on holiday.
Worth a go!

So here we are back for a second series, and is it as good as the first one? In the words of Jacquelin "Oh yes!" In fact this latest series may even contain the best episode ever! And that's, in my opinion episode two - the one where new character Mel (Madge's new partner and owner of five sunbed shops) blings it up BIG TIME, by dressing up like John Travolta from Saturday Night Fever at the karaoke night. He then murders a classic song by attempting to sing it in the same high pitched vocal style as the original. It made me cry with laughter, and it's worth buying this DVD just for that episode alone.
Benidorm is a real joy to watch, with a sharp script that is chock full of great oneliners, plus a superb cast that were so up for it - you could tell they were all having a blast - and so will you. How can you say no to this?
FUN IN THE SUN :-)
