hi!.

my name is stacy and i'm obsessed with anything benidorm (not the country, the tv series)

i love chrissy rock, i love johny vegas, i love darren littan (the guy that writes it), i love all things to do with it, i even have a quiz set up on here about it (though the scoring's not working on it sadly. thanks for trying to fix it, anthony

other benidorm stuff i have is a mug, benidorm bed clothes, and even a big poster on my wall of benidorm

don't worry.. if you decide to get to know me, i won't bore you by keep talking about benidorm- i do like other things

i enjoy horse riding, i go most fridays. find it relaxing. enjoy swimming too

my music tastes are mostly classical and ambient, but i am starting to experiment with other stuff- and some older stuff from the 60's and 70's is okay
i love takeaway pizza, the spicier the better. i usually order the hell raiser- so spicy chicken, spicy turkey, peperoni and peppers

book wise i like harry potter, rebecca shaw and debrah harkness (who writes about vampires)

think i'll leave it at that- if you want to know more just find me on the site

Never even heard of this series. Sounds quite immersive...

it's a comedy series about people on holiday in benidorm

to be honest, if you've ever watched soap operas, it's like that.. just series, and set in benidorm- all the regular things happen.. marages, deaths, fires, people having babies, that sort of thing.

if you like that kind of thing, cool. it's not for everyone... personally i love darren littan for writing the show- and glad he chose to continue.

fact: he was going to stop writing after series 4, but the broadcaster persuaded him to carry on

Oh god, british tv at it's finest...or, not.

It just makes my soul die a little because although it's a commedy it's kind of possible, considering how fucking awful brits are abroad.

Hi, and welcomne. To be honest I've never heard of this series either. The name did make me think of some kind of cough mixture, jk. Anyway, not into soap opras, find it pretty boring. In any case, hope you have a nice time here.

lol if you were american or something you could be forgiven for your obsession! I'm only joking, I've never watched it and if I did I'd probably secretly enjoy it! Its always coming up in my recommendations on netflicks!

I would've loved it, 11 or so years back. But, I got out of my drama phase. They had good stuff out there.

Oh god. this show. they are showing it on Swedish tv at the moment, and it really makes me cringe, because when I went on holiday to spain a couple of years ago it was pretty much how Brits were, while my husband and I tried to be as unintrusive as possible....
