This is a list of episodes from the British television series Benidorm. A group of holidaymakers arrive and strive at the Solana resort in Benidorm. They all come from very different backgrounds and include Mateo, a staff member who loves girls, Janey the Solana hotel manager, Scottish swingers Donald and Jacqueline, the wimpy Martin and his snobbish, miserable wife Kate, Geoff Maltby and his mum, Noreen, and the Garvey family, consisting of dad Mick, mum Janice, loud-mouthed chain smoking Madge and two children, Michael and Chantelle, who is hiding a big secret.
Kelly, who works at The Solana, has just got engaged to womanising barman Mateo, leaving Donald and Jacqueline worried. But Mateo seems more interested in Kate, and the pair soon end up having a passionate encounter, but will Martin discover his wife's betrayal? Meanwhile, Chantelle's pregnancy ends up pushing her and Janice closer together, whilst Geoff and Noreen sing a duet at the karaoke bar. The Garveys and the rest of the holidaymakers return for another week in Benidorm — with a few new members of the family.
These include Madge's new boyfriend Mel whom she has only known for a few weeks and is a "successful businessman with 5 sunbed shops in Manchester" , and Chantelle's baby son Coolio. Martin and Kate escape the horrors of their last holiday by staying in Altea, but a problem with the room leads to Kate facing her worst nightmare. Later, a diving competition between Mel and Geoff turns into a tragic life-threatening incident.
Madge and Janice's mother-and-daughter relationship turns sour when she tries to persuade Madge not to marry Mel. Meanwhile, Geoff and his mum Noreen organise their own arm-wrestling competition, with Mick being beaten by Jacqueline due to her "strong wrists". Ex-hotel worker Kelly is back, this time with her cockney mother, Sylvia.
As Sylvia's mobility scooter stops working, Mel offers to fix it, but Michael and Chantelle think he is kissing her. Madge then finds out about the incident, not knowing it was a misunderstanding — and begins a poolside showdown with her. In a last-ditch effort, Mick and Janice both try to persuade Madge not to get married. Meanwhile, Mick has upset Janice by forgetting it's their 10th wedding anniversary.
