ITV has commissioned a ninth series of its sun-and-sand sitcom Benidorm.
British Comedy Guide, 22nd February 2016Jake Canuso, Tim Healy & Jessica Ellerby interview
Benidorm regulars Mateo (Jake Canuso) and Les/Lesley (Tim Healy) are back working at the Solana and this year there's a new girl behind the bar, Amber (Jessica Ellerby).
Elliot Gonzalez, I Talk Telly, 10th January 2016Banish the winter blues by flopping down on a sun lounger at the Hotel Solana, the grubbiest four-star flophouse in all the Costas (as in Spanish coast rather than coffee shop chain) and checking out the farcical antics of the package holiday crew. It's business as bawdy usual in Derren Litten's sunburnt sitcom, with Splash! star Jake Canuso shaking the cocktails behind the bar as the Solana's ragbag clientele - led by the gruesome Garveys and shameless swingers Donald and Jacqueline - bed in for another series. This Is England's roly-poly Perry Benson is good value as new recruit Clive, who arrives with statuesque spouse Tonya and troublesome son Tiger.
