Brilliant! - By: Jake M, 29 Apr 2008 
I watched "Benidorm" for the first time several weeks ago & never has a comedy made me howl so much with laughter.
It is without doubt, one of the best programes in modern comedy. The jokes come thick & fast & as for the characters - hilarious!
Do yourself a favour & but this DVD today, you will not regret it.
This is hilarious - By: M. Steele, 09 Apr 2008 Benidorm is a laugh-out-loud series written by Derren Litten, one of the main writers of The Catherine Tate show. Catherine's 3rd series was alll the poorer for Derren having left but he's scored gold with his portrayal of Benidorm & the myriad of misfits who holiday there. The humour may verge on the bawdy at times but it fits beautifully with the residents of the hotel. It's brilliantly written & observed. All the actors are excellent & no-one in the cast lets the side down. It's a real change to see a comedy series that actuallly makes you laugh out loud. This started out smalll with little fan-fare but now has a cult following. The second series is shaping up well too. Definitely one to buy if you want an evening filled with laughter.
Great british comedy - By: MYSTICHSHAZ, 07 Dec 2007 I don't understand why this wasn't put out at prime time instead of being aired around 10.30pm. It eclipses some of the rubbish that's been passing for 'comedy' of late - lets hope ITV sees sense with series two.
Derren Little (of 'The Catherine Tate Show' fame)is such a talented comedy writer - this is wonderfully typical British humour, so sadly missing on TV these days. I'm so looking forward to the next series - this has got alll the makings of a classic comedy - so PLEASE put it on at 9pm!!
Funniest ITV series for a LONG time - By: Mr Jimmy, 30 Nov 2007 I came to this sitcom late having missed the first showing of the series but was soon enjoying the repeat after been made aware of the show by enthusiastic friends at work. I very rarely laugh out loud while watching the TV but I think I did during almost every episode of this brilliant new comedy. As long as you like your humour rude you will love this show; I think it's worth mentioning the acting too, some brilliant performances from some very familiar faces who do justice to this very well written 6-parter. I can't wait for the 2nd series but also can't wait for the release of this, series one. Funniest ITV series in a LONG time.
Great Television - By: Alison Wall, 27 Nov 2007 I enjoyed this series very much & laughed out load throughout, it appealed to my sense of humour and, although I have never been to Benidorm, this is exactly how I imagined it would be.
I am looking forward to the second series.
