Anyone watching Benidorm on a Thursday night?

[MummyPenguin]

I'm surprised there's not a thread about it. It's really funny, if a bit crass at times. I love the dysfunctional family. The way the Dad and Daughter speak to the Gran!!

This sort of humour and one liners I really understand.

Yes, I'm watching it, and laughed out loud a couple of times last Thursday (don't ask me what at - can't remember now).

Am certainly planning to keep on watching...perhaps it's cos I'm from oop north that I enjoy it?!

I'm from ooop north as well. I enjoyed the first one, but missed the second one. I thought the DD who wouldn't take her coat off was hillarious. My DS is like that - me nagging him 'tek yer coat off, yer in Spain FGS'.

I apsolutley love Benidorm.
My dh and I laugh and laugh.
It is so well written.
And it's insights into stereo-typical people are spot on.
No one I know has seen it.
It is so funny.
I love them all - the swingers, tangoed gran in her scooter, even boring Martin whose wife slept with greasy drigo the barman.
Why is this programme not talked about more ?
I don't get it.
I love it.

i LUUUUUUURRRVE it..the family, particulary the dad must be from north east were i am as he has the accent..last week funniest line "give us me t-shirt luv", .."yer t-shirt?.. its xxxDegrees".."i know!, its not to put on, the sweats rolling down the crack of my arse(wipes arse crack with t-shirt)"..h-i-l-a-r-i-o-u-s!

They are my fave too starwberry - he (can't remember his name) is from 'league of gentlemen'.

Yes, Steve Pemberton is truly wonderful and find him incredibly sexy. Perhaps a little too much information there. Ah well.

i loved that line too, was weeping with laughter

the teenage pg girl is sooooo funny

jonny vegas ws half chatting her up and said "did you come here on your own"

she said with deadpan face "i was going to, then i remembered im 16 and skint"

i love her mum and dad too

ah, yes he was, didnt watch that but i do regognise him now!, think hes from middlesbrough, accent is very similar and chubby brown(royston vasey, who they names place after) is from here too????

was p*ssing myself laughing last night..the scottish guy at the quiz..and his crossword answers for his wife LOL

when woman of disfunctional family was talking to hubby in foyer, about nothing...so real life!...dp said to me "you do that all the time"

oh yes strawberry - he had to go to the toilet to read his paper in peace - so true !!!

and the quiz - the two gay guys were saying -"it's Oscar Wilde" and swingers wrote down something like Freddie starr - died laughing !!

This coming thursday's is the last one - totally gutted !!!!

and wuxiapian - I find Steve P very attractive aswell - I think it is his intelligence and humour - I just love him - he is so sexy.

How wierd we are !!!

i'm watching it too.

I don't think its anything to do with being northern , that makes it funny - even though penguin, emsie, moon, and strawberry are.

I am, for my sins, totally southern, and I F**cking LOVE IT !!

Although apart from Martin the drip, they aren't any 'southerners' are there ?

I mean you don't have to be northern to think it is one of the funniest things you've seen in a long time.

no, i just meant i 'understood him' and scarily related to him and his north east accent
