Benidorm

We meet the holiday makers who have just arrived at the Benidorm resort. With dysfunctional families, middle-aged swingers and bickering couples it's sure to be a holiday they'll never forget.

Everybody's back at the Solanas for more sun, sangria and swinging - including Madge's new boyfriend Mel, Didsbury's answer to Julio Iglesias.

The holidaymakers return to The Solana with a free week's holiday as compensation for last year's hostage situation. Martin's new girlfriend wants to have a good time and leave the complex. Mel wants Mick to help him open his new mobility shop but things don't go to plan.

Gavin has a new holiday companion; The Garveys can't find Madge, but do find Cilla Black; Mateo is introduced to his new colleague Les (aka Lesley); whilst Les's son Liam tries to spend time with girls Natalie and Sam.

Chaos reigns at the Solana Hotel as Mateo and Les find it hard to keep control. Les’s son Liam is now working as the hotel‘s handyman. Gavin and Noreen are not happy after showing up at the hotel and learning their luggage has been lost. Mateo ends up reluctantly coaches Liam in the art of chatting up pretty women. Kenneth and Gavin comfort lately widowed Jacqueline but they end up getting a nasty shock when they think they have seen the ghost of Donald. Joyce Temple-Savage, the new manager of the hotel, secretly watches everything that is going on as she is determined to see the hotel become four star.

The Garveys make it as far as Alicante airport before their holiday begins to go wrong. Donald and Jacqueline hold a protest after Joyce Temple Savage refuses to give them a room. Kenneth is left feeling scared by some strange messages he’s been receiving. Liam and Lesley decide to intervene.

Does Madge have a stalker? Tiger is robbed by his mate. Donald and Jacqueline are celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary with a week's wife swap. The staff are up in arms.

The Dawson family head to the Solana Resort for the first time. Eddie is already causing trouble when he nearly drowns his grand-daughter. Billy and Sheron aren't happy at all. Tiger brings his best friend Joey on holiday. Joyce is on the look-out for a new member of staff, she has to choose between efficient Amber and flirty Marcus. Troy returns to the Solana, as he, Jacqueline and Kenneth scatter Donald's ashes.

The Dawsons’ holiday starts with a bang when Eddie has an accident and Sheron’s fashion taste is put into question. An old inheritance puts a smile Kenneth’s face. Tiger and Joey are in a party mood as Sam, the new holiday rep, takes them under her wing.

Anticipation is in the air at the Solana as Joyce and Monty's big day has arrived; however, when things go awry at the wedding, Kenneth volunteers to save the day.
