Sol Pelicanos transformed into the Solana resort

It hardly seems possible that it was only 5 weeks ago that filming finished of the new Benidorm series ! It feels like a lot longer since the resort was besieged by crew, cast and fans - but having said that we miss all the madness here.
ITV have just announced that the new series, the sixth made by Tiger Aspect Productions will be aired in January 2014 - many have been asking and hoping that it was going to be this year, but the wait will certainly be worth it. Repeats of old episodes can be found regularly and the frequency confirms how popular the series is in the UK.

Look out for this chauffeur...

The highlight of this series was probably the appearance of Hollywood legend Joan Collins - what a coup and honour for the creator and writer Derren Litten. He will even make an appearance in a scene with the star - but will be in disguise... wonder how many will recognise him!

Granada television made a short documentary about the filming of the series and spoke to some of the cast, many of who are from the north of England which you can watch on the link below:

Interviewing Jake in the "Solana"

One of the original and most popular cast members, Mateo aka actor Jake Canuso is bringing out a calendar for 2014 - and when I say popular having nearly 50,000 twitter followers confirms that! He will be coming back to the resort to promote it and I can guarantee, having seen some of the proofs that it will definitely be very sought after and on Christmas wish lists!
