I was in by myself last night and wanted something easy to watch so I tried that new Murder in Benidorm series on C5. OMG - what a load of drivel. Makes Death in Paradise seem like a Dicken’s adaptation. Bad acting and ridiculous plot (and I do watch some crap!).
What was John Hannah thinking taking the lead role? I got about halfway through and turned it off & went to bed in disgust!

Oh goodness yes!

Found these a while ago to watch whilst ironing. First one was intriguing, then absolute drivel.

Sally Lindsay is such a terrible actress I don’t know how she keeps getting work, although I believe she writes this one so that’s probably why in this case. As you say, absolute drivel.

Hairdresser murders / mysteries with Sally Phillips is quite good. The policeman is very easy on the eye

Good Ship Murder, and I have a pretty high tolerance level for TV tripe.

Oh that is just cheese on toast, but I do like Shayne Ward! The will they/won't they between him and Catherine Tyldesley is really annoying though.

Joanne Page's voice is like nails on a blackboard. I have to switch over as soon as she appears on anything.

I love her as Stacey but as herself she just doesn't stop talking! Doesn't even stop for breath half the time!

No wouldn't be made now
Thickos identified with Eddie the white neighbour even though he made a show of himself every week.

As with Alf Garnett on Till Death Us Do Part, much to the horror of Johnny Speight and Warren Mitchell, I believe.

Yes that was the case.

We like a true crime show but Murder by the Seaside and Cruise Ship Murders were abysmal
