British Comedy Guide, 20th December 2023Benidorm Series 11 teased: 'Never say never!'
Derren Litten and the original stars returned for a Benidorm convention. Pemberton, as Mick tells Janice: "Now that we've sold that b****y hotel in Las Vegas, could this be our new big adventure?". When Litten appears a few minutes later, he asked: "Have you just announced Season 11 of Benidorm? Who on earth would watch it?", with the actors jokingly shrugging their shoulders. He continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, in the worlds of Madge Garvey in Series 7 Episode 2, 'Never say never. Never say never.'"

British Comedy Guide, 10th May 2021The Other One, Holly Walsh's gleeful twin-family saga ended (if you've been watching in real time) on a real high. It had many terrific lines, mainly - as usual - from Ellie White as Cathy, whom you suspect the writer most identifies with. One clue: she gives her the sharpest lines. After she has been given a particularly gaudy tiara-and-mascara makeover by Cat (Lauren Socha), dowdy safe Cathy declares to the mirror: "Oh My God! I love it... I look like I could have my own show! On ITV3!" Marilyn (Siobhan Finneran) finally makes it out of the house, Rebecca Front's Tess finally forgives cheating Colin (Simon Greenall) and, after a cheeky red herring, the stage is well set for a second series. There have been harder recommissions to predict.

Despite all the jokes about class, Marcus's disastrous 'dick pics' disaster and the essential betrayal at the heart of the Walcott's marriage, there's a real sweetness to the developing relationship between the two Catherines which makes this a joy to watch.
