Benidorm Live - Palace Theatre, Manchester review
A riotous night out - especially with a group of friends, and don't worry if you haven't seen the TV show, the plot is super easy to follow and the humour will have you crying with laughter. Benidorm Live is as camp as Christmas!
Marie Smith, The Reviews Hub, 27th November 2018Benidorm Live review
Boldly brash - and brazen with it - the live musical version of ITV hit Benidorm combines plenty of recognition for the show's fans with the kind of comedy that would make a panto dame blush.

British Comedy Guide, 2nd March 2017The slightly sunburnt but enjoyably bawdy sitcom returns for a ninth series of outre poolside hijinks. Former hard-partying holidaymaker Sam (Shelley Longworth) rocks back up at the Solana, this time as an ambitious rep, causing friction with highly strung hotel manager Joyce (Sherrie Hewson). Meanwhile, Nigel Havers guest-stars as a dentist who, after a trim at the Blow'n'Go salon, fixates on the late Herbert's dazzling false gnashers.
Graeme Virtue, The Guardian, 1st March 2017Benidorm: review
When a series keeps coming back year after year, it must be doing something right. Benidorm (ITV) has booked in for a ninth series of cheerful antics on the Costa del Crud. The principal ingredients are sun, sea and a seemingly limitless supply of lame gags about bodily functions.
Jasper Rees, The Telegraph, 1st March 2017Benidorm cast interview

I Talk Telly, 24th February 2017BBC Three to publish new 'Big Field' episodes
BBC Three is collaborating with the creators of Big Field, a YouTube series which 'recycles' audio and props, to make new episodes of the show.
British Comedy Guide, 9th June 2016With brassy characters, outlandish storylines and a sun-drenched setting, it's easy to see why Derren Litten's comedy drama has become so popular. It's back for a fourth series, although it's starting to lose its sparkle. New holidaymakers include portly hairdresser Kenneth (Tony Maudsley) and party girls Sam and Natalie (Shelley Longworth and Kathryn Drysdale). Meanwhile Solana stalwarts the Garveys (Steve Pemberton and Siobhan Finneran) return to track down a beleaguered Madge (Shelia Reid).
