Benidorm upsets holidaymakers

ITV1's Johnny Vegas sitcom Benidorm might raise the occasional smile - possibly more - among its many viewers, but it is no laughing matter if you happen to be staying in the hotel where it is filmed. In Benidorm, obviously. "We film around the top third of the pool with the swim-up bar but the people who have booked their holidays don't know about it - it doesn't tell them in the brochure," says another of the show's cast, former League of Gentlemen star Steve Pemberton. "Sometimes they aren't happy and march up and sit on our sun loungers. They have to be politely escorted away," he tells Metro. No word on whether Dawn Airey was one of those sunseekers who was turned away. She probably stays somewhere a little more upmarket.
