So, Benidorm returns next friday at 9pm. I'm sure it was 10 or 10.30 last year, but it seems with the last series ratings success, ITV are putting it in primetime. Good decision I'd say, but I am a fan of it..

From the adverts and a bit of searching, it looks as if all the main characters are back, and the young teenage girl has had her baby. Her Grandma, returning with her scooter, and a boyfriend!

Looks like it's going to be good.

Yes, i've never watched benidorm... just didn't seem to have the motivation, but now they've moved it to 9, i'll probably watch it now, and I guess thats what itv are trying to acheive.

It was on Thursday nights at 10pm. Obviously NaT has now reclaimed this spot.

You don't look like a paid shill at ALL.

Indeed, but if you look there's no other Comedy opposition, BBC1 and 2 both their usual line-up, C4 has Dirty, Sexy, Money and Five's got CSI, so maybe it pick up some ratings, plus don't forget it's got a lead in from Coronation Street.

Friday night is traditionally comedy night and no other channel is offering comedy at the moment

In fact, ITV1 are showing brand new comedy and BBC1 are showing a repeat of an old drama, a complete opposite to previously!

The show was popular last year so it will always have a fan base. And it will hopefully get a strong lead in from Coronation Street as has already been mentioned.

The drama repeat will rape it, it's just a fact. Much of Benidorm's core audience will be busy on Friday, just like Moving Wallpaper's was. Older viewers who watch New Tricks and Midsomer Murders will more likely be in on Friday nights.

Will be good to see Wendy Richard doing "comedy" again.
