Johnny Vegas asks whether Benidorm is the elephant's graveyard for entertainers who just don't know when to call it a day, or a shining tribute to the glory of comedy that came before. And he tries to fathom if this is the fate that awaits him.

Johnny is at a turning-point in his professional status. He has a thriving career but knows, deep down, that audiences are getting younger and his shelf life within showbusiness could be too close to perishable for comfort.

He sees that, with the demise of the great British Working Men's Clubs, and the unforgiving nature of popular culture, many household names have followed their audiences to the Spanish coast, where they are still revered and can play once more to packed houses of grateful punters.
