Wasted time....Benidorm

[Purple_Popple]

Anyone else watched the first episode of the new series of Benidorm ? Totally un-funny, I turned over I found it so depressing...disappointed.

Agree, how it can be called comedy is beyond me

[barb1314]

Only watched it recently so presume I saw old repeats and thought it was really good. Not impressed last night though. Mind you Tim Healy as Lesley with roller skates on did make me chuckle a fair bit

Huge let down PP, and Denise Welch's performance was shameful - totally overdone.

[askyourgran]

Not funny at all, Denise Welsh has been 'over done' anyway. Madge reminds me of someone needing Oxfam.

One feels cheated, i was so lookling forward to watching this fresh new series, it won NTA too....well I guess for the 1st series, which was ridiculously funny!!

[ttfn]

Really gran? She reminds me of ET with a lighter foundation on.

[Purple_Popple]

ttfn, ha, definitely ET !! It's the huge blue eyes that do it !

[askyourgran]

Lol ttfn.

I recorded it - don't think I'll bother to watch it now. The first couple of series were funny but the last Christmas special was absolutely dire!!! I could only stand the first 10 minutes. I actually missed Johnny Vegas - is he in this new series?

The best part was when the daughter Glasgow kissed Denise Welch........

Pup has chewed the remote and I was stuck under a pile of dogs on the settee, so couldn't turn over. I kept thinking it would get better, but by the end I don't think I had even cracked a smile - one of those programmes that people will tell you is hilarious buy its like the emperors new clothes.

[supapapa]

Very dissapointed

[mrs.chappie]

Tim Healy on the roller skates was funny.

[askyourgran]

Hope it will be a lorra lorra laffs when Cilla is on it.

I was very disappointed, and the Xmas special wasn't up to much either (although it did have to deal with the death of Geoffrey Hutchins (Mel Harvey)) so I suppose it couldn't be rip-roaring, but yes very disappointing all round. Bring back Troy and the Oracle, Chelle and coolio.

How could Madge live on benefits, I wasn't aware that we had them here in Spain, apart from food stamps! unless it was English benefits.

[gina32]

like most others i thought the previouse series was good but if fridays is anything to go by its now rubbish

[smurfchops]

I agree with everyone ! The first series was funny, it has gradually gone downhill. They should have quit while they were ahead, like Fawlty Towers. Can't stand Cilla anyway.
