ITV's award winning comedy Benidorm returns to the channel for its ninth series.

The new holiday season kicks off at the Solana resort with the return of two popular characters - Liam (Adam Gillen) and Sam (Shelley Longworth). The Dawson's arrive for a new holiday that doesn't get off to a great start and when Sheron's Mum Loretta (Kate Fitzgerald) joins them – Benidorm will never be the same again!

Could Joyce Temple Savage (Sherrie Hewson) finally find romance this series with Monty (John Challis)?

Guest stars in the new series include Nigel Havers, John Challis, Jason Manford, Uri Geller, Amanda Barrie, George Shelley, Madness and Dame Joan Collins.

Series nine is a suitcase packed full of all your favourite characters, great guest stars, holiday mishaps and Mr Wu!
