Series 2 (2008)

A year later, all the holiday makers are back at the Solana Resort for more sun, sand and all-inclusive drinks. There were a couple of additional holiday makers tagging along this time too: Telle's baby Coolio, and Granny Madge's new 'boyfriend' Mel, who is the owner of five sunbed shops and Didsbury's answer to Julio Iglesias.

Will Janice run off with handsome waiter Jack? Will The Oracle ever reach dry land? At this point the show switched from half-hour episodes to hour long adventures.
