The ending of this will always get me. Not only because the series and their holiday came to a close, but because Geoffrey Hutchins died after filming this due to Meningitis. Such a national treasure ❤
The will never be anything else made to match this wonderful series. The humour/mix of British culture and the honesty to laugh at ourselves and others was a strength now sadly lost to modern script writers. The one thing we must remember is not to over watch Benidorm now, as in years to come this safety net of pure comedy will be a blessing to watch, again & again.
I do, too. I often watch one or two episodes before going to bed ... Benidorm or Still Game or Big Bag Theory ... good to go to bed on a laugh and they're always funny.
Absolutely gutted to learn that Kenny Ireland - Donald - lost his battle against cancer. He helped make the show and it won't be the same without him. God bless Kenny...
Most characters could potentially be pretty easily replaced. However, I've always thought that neither Madge or Donald could. It just wouldn't work the same. They are unique. Be interesting to see what the next series brings.
Its odd as i lived in a really remote area in cornwall england during lockdown and it was absolutely no different. We had our own land so could still get out as normal, and as we never saw a soul from one week to the next apart from our postman it really wasnt bad for us but i can imagine how awful it probably was for you.. im glad you had this x Take care stranger xxx❤
10 years later and still a classic series. This ending was very well put together, and the show has done so much for the Benidorm tourism, like it or not It was well written and improved each series. Would love to see a 2022 follow-up show, where they meet up again.
They should do one all stuck in Alicante airport as the coach hasn’t turned up! And it’s worse service than solana used to give and it makes them miss it
When the main characters of any show/series pass away or leave, that show will never be the same. Somehow, speaking for myself, I can never get used to carry on with the new ones.
I don't like it when they attempt to replace the cast member like nothing ever happened, but I do like the addition of new cast members in an ensemble cast type show
Miss Mel, life is so short, I want to go back to Benidorm next year and relive all the great times I had there and remember all the gang from Benidorm.
This episode always puts a lump in my throat to think that Geoffrey Hutchings who played Mel Harvey died in real life " not long after this episode was aired . RIP Jeffrey Hutchings
21:26 A crucial moment in Geoff's love life and his mother comes out with this: Can't tell you how disappointing it was when the last girl he went out with turned out to be a fella!! LOLOLOL
@@a.tanner8524so? I was 19 and dated two 40yr old guys, dated a 44 year old at 25 and dated a 62 yr old at 35!! It's just a number as long as irs all consenting and that!
What I find adorable is how Mel and Michael have such a strong bond between them. He truly sees Michael as his grandson. But I think it goes to Chantelle also. He'd do anything for those kids.
How many of you wanted Kate to stay for that last lovely moment that Martin wanted to give her in the lobby?? Poor guy. Still, Kate knew she couldn't lead him on and let him think there was any chance for them to get together again. I was still moved by their moment at the airport though.
This is one of my comfort shows here lately. BUT I’ve never seen series 6 & 7!? I can’t find them ANYWHERE for free. I can’t subscribe to *another* service, the combined bills would be more the my car insurance payment! I miss Soap2day.
Yeah I agree, this had the perfect ending for all the characters from the original series, the 4th one didn’t seem as good it felt more like a reboot with how different it was
It means blue, as in sad.. not the colour. Like when someones got the blues they are sad. So he is singing about sad spanish eyes. Triste… hope that helps xxx❤
This would have been a perfect end to the series. Next series were good but lacked so many of the original cast. And you can only invent so many ridiculous plots, then it gets old.
Mel: ....So far, none of my efforts has been a complete success. Mike: Well, apart from the bacon factory in Israel, there's not a lot left for you to do! LOL
3:28 I’ve only just noticed in this episode that Mateo walks up ,sees Martin and then turns back Great detail ,considering Martin punched him a while back 😃😃😃
It's a running gag with most of them. "All inclusive" is a big motivator for these holidays, so you get a bunch of tightwads going there. "Free" something is always mentioned.

Funny second time round.
Excellent actors
Who cares
@@BarryAllenMagic 9.30a
Absolutely fantastic .,what brilliant comedy! Another series please. In Memory of Mel and Donald r.i.p.
Great ending, but so sad, knowing 'Mel' died after this, a great funny actor.
Meningitis… so sad 😢
Watching all the series in lockdown 2020
21
That's when I started watching these. During the first lockdown.
Its odd as i lived in a really remote area in cornwall england during lockdown and it was absolutely no different.

One of the best shows ever.
R.I.P Geoffrey Hutchings, brilliant actor sadly missed by all.
Funny but rude
@@mervyndrage3507 He was ! I wdve clonked him if I was Geoff and he was so rude to Kate, Mick and anyone else unlucky enough to cross his path…
Mel needed to be rude to noreen, such an irritating, slappable old bat.. hated that character

Yeah, a reunion like "Friends."
I disagree, after series 4/5 it was absolute crap. All those new people and stupid pointless characters. Awful ! Im sure many agree in that
Why was the holiday free? I must keep missing that part...
@@flight101 Can you tell me why the holiday was free to all of them?
“With all that silly bollocks going on” 😂😂😂😂😂
"there was a little knome on the back of it"
A knome?!?
Brilliant
Best line EVER ❤ 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
never stop watching this genius comedy
Keith Barron appearing was a nod to his Spanish themed show Duty Free
I love the film Benidorm can’t stop watching Benidorm
The bit where the Scottish fella grabs the microphone and gets electrocuted - love it, one of the funniest bits from this series.
agreed! lol especially what Janie says right after! lmao
Mels character was the best by a mile, a line he said in series 2,was the best in 10yrs of Benidorm
That drummer when they are in the street walking to se the Mayor 😂😂
I absolutely loved this show, it really makes me want to go out an live there for a good month to 6 weeks
Janice being very emotional: I just don't want you to go.
Madge: That's not MY fault you have no friends. LOL
When it was snowing Janice start up set and Mick is Lovelyxxxxx
2 of the BIGGEST characters in the show passed away,so sad,loved them,gone to soon xxxx

Very clever and super observant comedy and actually sad at times . Derren Litten, the Hull legend !
A gnome! Brilliant

You can’t beat a bit of Benidorm

Bendorm is such an amazing show thanks for uploading them, cant stop watching it!!
Still watchin 5 years on...

Neither can I
Watching all...just brilliant and actors!!!
rip in peace mel harvey
the best of the show
British comedy at its best!
The deputy mayor was hilarious
Definitely at 27:05 😂😂😂😂
21:26 A crucial moment in Geoff's love life and his mother comes out with this:
Can't tell you how disappointing it was when the last girl he went out with turned out to be a fella!! LOLOLOL
she was real good at throwin those in at the most INOPPORTUNE times! lol
That's cute, when Geoff said "what do you reckon? is it gonna work out?" to the kid and he nodded his head. :)
Until you realise that Chantelle is 18 and Geoff is in his late 30’s early 40’s.
A.Tanner age doesn't matter it's just a number when I was 18 I was engaged to a 38year old and I was happy
@@shannonwilkinson3499 so how did that work out?
@@a.tanner8524 it worked out fine until I moved away
@@a.tanner8524so? I was 19 and dated two 40yr old guys, dated a 44 year old at 25 and dated a 62 yr old at 35!! It's just a number as long as irs all consenting and that!
Donald's face at 10.27 - absolutely brilliant!
Lol
Too bad he passed away days ago due to brain cancer :( my favourite character of the show!
Abbbbbbbssssoluuuuutely..........as he'd have said! :-)
42:42 - 45:10 That ending shed a tear to my eye 😢 So beautiful and emotional ❤
Same here, the way the Oracle`s mum turns round to see them.
Mel was awesome he was a great Benidorm character
Just love this episode one of my favourites xx
WHOOP, WHOOP... BRILLIANT SERIES. NOBODY DOES TV COMEDY QUIET LIKE THE BRITS.
Mick says Mel would never give anyone money yet Mel was quick to offer Chantelle the money she needed to buy a place for her, Geoff and Coolio
The deputy mayor was funny
Wink electrocuting everyone and "waving his bits around" caused someone to do him in...maybe Mattao 😁
@Ian Robert Davies Media Archive Yes his home made joy buzzer.
martin,kate,geoff,chantelle and all the original cast should have stayed
Geoff got sacked for being drunk on set
@@patrickhodkinson25 BAHAHAHAHAAHH
@@patrickhodkinson25 not exactly he was axed due to bad mouthing the show
I love Jacqueline, a great character! And the Spanish ladies thought Madge was the Pope lol
That was the entire gag.
I love the film Benidorm because the film Benidorm is amazing ❤️
RIP Geoffrey Hutchings ^ Mel :/
Mel's last episode...
39:11 to 39:57
I can't be the the only one who finds Michael fast asleep at the table adorable
What I find adorable is how Mel and Michael have such a strong bond between them. He truly sees Michael as his grandson. But I think it goes to Chantelle also. He'd do anything for those kids.
Yeah, it's nice to see their bond, especially since Mel never had kids, it's nice to see him trying to be the best grandad he can be
I've watched the whole series a few times. I've just loved it!
The ending of this episode brings tears in my eyes every time I watch it
I love/hate this episode, can't believe Mel died:-(
How many of you wanted Kate to stay for that last lovely moment that Martin wanted to give her in the lobby?? Poor guy. Still, Kate knew she couldn't lead him on and let him think there was any chance for them to get together again. I was still moved by their moment at the airport though.
You are a respectful guy
@@mrnobody4676 k. Thanks. lol
@@EphemeralProductions no issue :)
Madge has a lovely voice
Really????#$@@
Gera1713 yeah? she may have a bad talking voice but she had a wonderful singing voice
33:42. One of the only times Mel called Madge out on her snarky comments. LOl
R.I.P Mel Love you xxx
Ya cant fire Mateo from a bar named potato
Great singer.
Fantastic ending , such a shame Mel died wonderful character RIP
Yeh

In real life are just on the show?
@@jahempress26 real life and in the show
Wink McAndrew is hilarious
Just brilliant all of them absolute pure gold
The Spanish thought Madge was the Pope lol!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
love benidorm
the priests who look at Madge genius
It was for one of those mobility scooter shops on the beach ........there was a picture of a little gnome on it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Madge sings beautifully ❤
My gob has never been more smacked😂🤣

They're on Netflix uk :) £6.99 a month
Madge looks like she’s in the Pope mobil. 😂
we want more benidom please john nottingham uk it was great
Mel is the best character. RIP x
Brilliant... Thankyou...
Benidorm went downhill when the Garvey’s left and replaced with the Dawson’s which I didn’t like
I love these.
Kate: Martin, I'm seeing somebody.
Martin: What, a psychiatrist?
Martin is hilarious
Hilarious when Mr Garvey said "a bacon farm in Israel" was a bad idea. There are millions of Russian and christians living there .
Should have probably ended the show here tbh, still a great show after this but still this felt like a perfect ending
Yeah I agree, this had the perfect ending for all the characters from the original series, the 4th one didn’t seem as good it felt more like a reboot with how different it was
@@xiPopCat not to mention Mel was gone
This would’ve been a great way to go out
Why has Benidorm stopped? It was the greatest show ever 😢
Heard rumours it’s coming back
That ending is emotional. Blue Spanish eyes. (except always wondered why that song says blue Spanish eyes when Spanish eyes are brown)
It means blue, as in sad.. not the colour. Like when someones got the blues they are sad. So he is singing about sad spanish eyes.
Triste… hope that helps xxx❤
Another British tv good cast comedy
"The Big One" on the Magazine Cover....details details
😂😂😂
Beautiful all round 👍❤💓
The actor that played Mel is so brilliant. I totally believe he is real.
And that was the last decent episode worth watching
Benidorm Is Still A Mint Sitcom.
This would have been a perfect end to the series. Next series were good but lacked so many of the original cast. And you can only invent so many ridiculous plots, then it gets old.
Mel was so cool 😎
Geoff is like 40 and Chantelle is only 17-18 :/
Welcome t'north!
So weird isn’t it
Me and my family always tease my grandad and say he's Mel. He looks like him and acts like him too.
We (my family ) call my gran madge
The final should’ve been something like this.
really touching episode
Mel: ....So far, none of my efforts has been a complete success.
Mike: Well, apart from the bacon factory in Israel, there's not a lot left for you to do! LOL
😂
R i p Donald
Martin will Kate when she’s leaving And He will goodbye to her. 🥺
A GNOME 😂😂
3:28 I’ve only just noticed in this episode that Mateo walks up ,sees Martin and then turns back
Great detail ,considering Martin punched him a while back 😃😃😃
It was because Mateo had told his boss he was sick when he was moonlighting as a flamenco dancer. Martin saw him dancing.
MARTIN, I'm seeing somebody
What a psychiatrist?
I BEG your pardon LMAO
My favourite episode :D
Same
best program BOOM
i never knew that Kenny Ireland had died till i read Wikipedia
Madge's face at 14:45 lol
Really enjoy how there's a subtle indication of how tight with money Donald is throughout the show.
It's a running gag with most of them.
"All inclusive" is a big motivator for these holidays, so you get a bunch of tightwads going there.
"Free" something is always mentioned.
