Ed Gleave, Daily Star, 29th March 2015Review: (Johnny) Vegas, baby!
Ooh-yor-fightor, writes Gemma Collins, we've only gone and got Johnny Vegas on the phone. It's been a ridiculously long 18 years since we last spoke to the potty-mouthed, outrageous and aggressive comic. (Not for the want of trying, we hasten to add).
Gemma Collins, Leicester Mercury, 9th February 2015Fittingly enough, this hotel-based comedy is never short of guests - but the arrival of Joan Collins, playing Solana CEO Crystal Hennessy-Vass is still quite a surprise. Everyone is falling over themselves, some of them literally, to say, "What are you doing here?" Crystal embraces the morning cocktails and "three-star thinking" on offer from the salon boys, and has a proposition for Mateo and some alarming ideas on how to cut the wages bill to present to Joyce. Meanwhile, the Oracle (Johnny Vegas) returns in style.
John Robinson, The Guardian, 30th January 2015Radio Times review
As Benidorm goes, this one's a classic. Hoity Joyce takes a tumble in more ways than one and is soon elbowed out by Janey - Crissy Rock returning as the Solana's original scouse manageress. Geoff parades his new Romanian girlfriend, who believes he's a millionaire, while Jacqueline hollers through singing lessons with a cocktail pianist (none other than Bobby Crush).
But the ice in the shaker is Joan Collins, back as Solana CEO Crystal Hennessy-Vass. Unlike her debut last year, she features throughout this episode, interacting with many more characters. She hits it off with Blow & Go double act Kenneth and Liam, and there's a startling pay-off with Geoff (Johnny Vegas). Only in Benidorm!
