Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: The Solana resort, at the heart of Benidorm, sounds like quite a place to spend a holiday. It attracts a broad selection of characters, all sorts of antics, and fortunately for anyone picking this DVD up, a good few laughs too. A comedy programme that slipped under many people’s radar, Benidorm puts an all-inclusive holiday destination at the heart of its setup, and then sets about filling it with a collection of fascinating characters. So you have the quiz kings for starters, along with a pair of mature swingers. There’s a standard-ish stereotypical family, a gay couple on holiday to celebrate, and a squabbling married pair too. It’s a broad ensemble, and this proves to be one of the many qualities of the programme. However, also in Benidorm’s favour are some witty scripts, plenty of not-for-the-kids dialogue and a lot of belly laughs. All six episodes from the first series are collected here, and while the laughs don’t always constantly flow throughout, the hit count is certainly high. And given the lack of quality fresh British sitcoms of late, Benidorm proves to be quite a collectors item. It might not, on the basis of this first series, be on the way to being a flat-out comedy classic, but there’s so much enjoyment in the episodes here that a second series is hard to resist. --Jon Foster Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Brits abroad?Very well written,excellent casting,its great that we have the ability to laugh at ourselves,we have all met these people on holiday at some point...EXCELLENT. Rating: - So very funny and observantFrighteningly accurate portrayal of Brits on holiday in the hell that is Benidorm. Sharp and funny, well acted - a gem that should have received greater credit. Will be getting Series Two as soon as. Rating: - BrilliantWith the exception of the surrealistic and brilliant observational comedy (such as The Office and anything by Eddy Izzard) we get from time to time, most modern British comedy is formulaic, crude and not funny. This is crude and formulaic and very very funny. Having seen this on TV, it took ages to get my wife and kids to watch episode one after I had explained the basic premise to them (badly). Once I did, they watched the whole series right through in one sitting and we regularly repeat episodes. I suspect it appeals most to the sort of people who wouldn't be caught dead in a place like the Solara, but the casting is as the writing. If it hadn't been for the Office, I'd say this was the best British sitcom ... Read More: Rating: - I've struck GoldQuite simply, thank the lord for this superbly hilarious series. Ages since I've laughed out loud and been left with such a feel good factor. The best (and they're not that good), sit com's now are American. We had lost the true british comedy farce. Hope lots more comedy writers take note, this is what we want! Rating:  - Poor begining to second seriesI started watching the second series and found it far superior to this first series which i bought on dvd and watched for the first time. some scenes were very crude and not at all funny, unlike the secoond series which we could watch as a family without ambarassment. the characters are better developed and rounded and I am waiting for the second series, as it beats theis first series hands down for me. |
