British Comedy Guide, 16th January 2018In the 1980s I bumped into Kate O'Mara on the Doctor Who set disguised as Bonnie Langford - erm, she was, I wasn't! And she's almost as startling tonight in a now rare TV role as Mrs Simmonds, a well-preserved or, well, preserved glamourpuss who the Solana staff are fawning over.
In a plot redolent of Fawlty Towers, a hotel assessor is in residence and it all goes disastrously wrong for manageress Joyce (Sherrie Hewson). She "normally gets on with the gays", but her antipathy for hairstylist Kenneth boils over in a hysterical poolside brawl. The scene-stealer, though, is young Michael (Oliver Stokes) with his poignant turn at karaoke, in a finale that captures those end-of-holiday pangs. A sixth series, por favor.
