Benidorm returns in splendidly cheesy fashion with a six-part murder mystery that borrows the much-loved ITV comedy’s sun-soaked setting and adds a weekly killing
The result is a package-holiday take on cosy crime, complete with karaoke, sticky cocktails, baffled hotel staff and detectives who are rarely one step ahead
John Hannah stars as Dennis, an ex-police officer running a gloomy basement bar, while Carolina Becquer plays his crime-obsessed sidekick Rosa
Ariadna Cabrol adds further chaos as a police sergeant and Dennis’s on-off lover
Five stars, and a strong case for a second series.
