Tim Healy

Ever since Johnny Vegas confessed to a lively online role-playing life, in which he entered chatrooms under the pseudonym "Bashful", you get the feeling script-writers have been looking to explore the notion again. Tonight, they finally do, as Geoff goes online dating, while his mother canvasses opinions as to whether or not he might be gay. A strange mixture of home truths and Carry On humour, Benidorm feels high-quality and low-rent, sometimes at the same time. Tim Healy's guest spot is certainly one to remember.

Not since Gwen Taylor and Keith Barron kept finding themselves in the same hotel as that posh couple in Duty Free have a bunch of chalk-and-cheese holidaymakers been so unfortunate to end up sharing their vacations together so often. Back at the Solana Resort on a freebie (a present for winning Best Comedy at the National TV Awards, perhaps?), the gang will be joined by outlandish guest turns Sheridan Smith, Robin Askwith, Una Stubbs, Tim Healy and Mr Keith Barron himself.
