Film crew spotted in Benidorm and it leaves sitcom fans with same theory
When one man saw film crews working their magic in Benidorm, he and other desperate fans all jumped to the same sitcom-related conclusion - but some disputed it
Rumours are circulating in Benidorm that something exciting is happening – and it's all about the TV show of the same name. The last series of Benidorm aired in the UK in 2018. For those not in the know, Benidorm is a sitcom that focuses on the adventures of a group of British holidaymakers staying at the Solana holiday resort in Spain.
Back in April, fans started speculating that the show would be making a comeback, despite the fact that the creator, Derren Litten, confirmed in 2019 that the tenth series would be the last. But when a TikToker spotted a film crew in Benidorm, he jumped to the conclusion that they must be filming the elusive 11th series.
Harry, a Brit in Benidorm who posts on TikTok as @harrytokky, wrote over the top of a video of a film crew on the strip: "Breaking news. Film crews are filming right now in Benidorm outside the Red Lion".
At the bottom of the video, he penned: "Wait... are they filming Benidorm series 11 right now?! What do you think?"
He showed the camera crew filming, as he gushed: "Holy moly, this is unbelievable". In the short clip, someone in the background could be heard saying they thought it was Benidorm series 11.
However, in the comments, people were sceptical, and one woman even put the rumour to bed with the information she'd managed to get from film crews.
"I doubt they'd film in peak season," a sceptic wrote, but someone shared: "Another 4 weeks until peak season. They film in the 'Solana' with people on holiday there. They just close off one end of the pool".
"They use the tourists as extras in Benidorm, it's well known," another man alleged.
Others shared that it couldn't be Benidorm, because none of the beloved actors could be seen in the video. One fumed: "Not hard to tell if it's Benidorm or not."
And another penned: "Not to be a Debbie Downer, but Benidorm hasn't officially been commissioned, so unless this is for an announcement ad (which I highly doubt), it's not Benidorm unfortunately".
But someone argued, saying: "Makes sense it would be Benidorm though, cause Darren and all the main cast have been cryptic as f*** lately online trying to hint to the fans about a season 11 coming, wouldn't talk about it if there was no chance and now this. I'd say it's likely I can't lie".
However, others said they'd seen the crew themselves and stopped to ask more questions. One tourist claimed: "We were walking down before and my dad asked the light crew. They said they can't say what it is but it's a Spanish program!!!!!"
Meanwhile, someone else alleged: "They're making a film, not Benidorm. I asked them last night."

New York's No.1 attraction on TripAdvisor has opened in the UK – and I was one of the first to visit
The attraction has been designed by ex-British Intelligence staff I SPY New York's No.1 attraction on TripAdvisor has opened in the UK – and I was one of the first to visit 'YOU'D make a great surveillance officer. Have you ever considered joining the FBI?' It's not every day you hear those words. But then again, this isn't your average day out. 10 SPYGAMES test your physical abilities and spy stealth Credit: Jenna Stevens I was deep inside SPYSCAPE, a new immersive experience in London's Covent Garden. Advertisement First opening in New York, it is one of the top ranked attractions in the city and if you've ever fancied yourself the next Bond or Black Widow, this place is your training ground. Designed with help from ex-British Intelligence and leading psychologists, SPYSCAPE (and its adrenaline-pumping sibling, SPYGAMES) makes for an all-round exhilarating physical and mental challenge. It's part team games, part personality test, part sweaty workout. Whilst SPYGAMES tests your reflexes in physical team challenges, SPYSCAPE analyses your mind, assigning you the spy role that best suits you. Advertisement By the end of the afternoon, I'd walk away with my own personalised spy profile - revealing exactly what kind of secret agent I'd make. I kicked off my mission with SPYGAMES, where teams of 2-5 people battle it out across a range of heart-racing physical and mind-bending challenges. After strapping on my interactive wristband and creating my spy avatar (a cute cartoon version of me), my partner and I joined forces to create our gaming squad. As we headed down the corridor illuminated by neon lights, what followed was a series of physical challenges that burned enough energy to have me ditching the evening gym sesh. Advertisement Our first task? Cipher Sequence - a frantic code-cracking game that tests your speed and foresight. Indoor UK attraction is the 'world's first amazement park' with adult-ony nights 10 Precision, foresight, accuracy - all key skills for a secret agent Credit: Jenna Stevens Glowing squares illuminated beneath our feet - the task was to eliminate all squares by strategically jumping on them in the right order. My speed and response time were my best skills, but it turns out I'm more stealth than strategist. My foresight cracked under time pressure, and let's just say my score didn't make the leaderboards… Advertisement But I soon bounced back with Peak Protocol. This was a full-body stealth and agility test that had me scaling walls like Tom Cruise clinging to the Burj Khalifa (give or take a few thousand feet). 10 You may not be high-up, but holding on is harder than it looks... Credit: Jenna Stevens Chasing my teammate around the climbing wall like a Mission Impossible montage, my climbing skills came in handy for this task. I racked up a whopping 14,552 points and landed in the top 12 per cent of players. Not bad for a desk jockey. Advertisement Having discovered physical tasks were my secret strength, I may or may not have convinced my teammate to take me on in a 1v1 speed race. Stealth Matrix was the most cinematic game yet - a full on laser-dodging mission that made me forget who I really was and go full spy-mode. Stood at one end of a pitch-black room, suddenly neon green lasers crisscrossed the space like something out of Entrapment. 10 Super stealth - dodging these laser beams was a-near impossible mission Credit: Jenna Stevens I charged in with confidence, but my long legs betrayed me. Advertisement One wrong step and I triggered a sneaky laser pointed at my ankle, blowing my cover in seconds. But after slaying the physical tasks with stealth, it was time to get my brain analysed. We moved from SPYGAMES into SPYSCAPE - an interactive Spy museum that analyses your spy-chology as you wind your way through its rooms. 10 The spy-themed museum was fascinating Credit: Jenna Stevens You begin by answering a series of questions and puzzles that quiz you on everything from social skills, to how risky you are. Advertisement The questions were designed with the help of British Intelligence's former Head of Training, as well as top psychologists - so your secret agent skills are assessed with some serious precision. I then jumped into a secret booth that tested my lie-detecting skills. Closely watching video interviews, I had to decide if the individual was telling the truth or a lie. 10 Top tips for spotting a liar - this behaviour can be a dead giveaway Credit: Jenna Stevens After scoring top marks, a voice boomed over me 'Ever thought about joining the FBI?'. Yes, mysterious speaker voice, quite frankly I have wondered. Advertisement After walking through displays of real-life spy stories and tales of code-cracking breakthroughs, I faced my next task. Receiving instructions over a telephone, I conducted surveillance over a series of cameras. Sharp observation is key to becoming a successful spy, after all. 10 I received careful instructions over the telephone Credit: Jenna Stevens 10 I was confident in the camera surveillance task! Credit: Jenna Stevens Advertisement Finally, I entered the last room to receive my complete spy profile. My every move had been tracked, my skills observed, my answers analysed. And now, the results were in… I was an AGENT HANDLER - somebody who runs, manages and oversees agents. So basically the spy of all spies - pretty cool, if I do say so myself. My top skills were balance, foresight and precision - I guess it's time I start climbing those buildings... 10 Agent Handlers are composed, curious and empathetic Credit: Jenna Stevens Advertisement Tickets for the SPYSCAPE experience are £23 per adult and £20 for kids. SPYGAMES costs the same for 50 minutes of gameplay instead. Or you can combine both experiences, like I did, for £35 per person.

MobLand's future on TV revealed after first series got rave reviews from fans
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE future of hit show MobLand has been revealed after becoming a runaway streaming success. Fans have been tuning into the gripping drama in their droves on Paramount+. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 MobLand's future has been revealed Credit: Luke Varley/Paramount+ 4 The TV show, starring Pierce Brosnan, will be back for a second series Credit: Luke Varley/Paramount+ 4 It will have another outing on Paramount+ Credit: AP Featuring an eclectic cast including Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren, it is no wonder that the show has become such a huge hit. Now, it has been confirmed that it will be back for a second series after becoming Paramount+'s second biggest show ever - just trailing behind Landman. The streamer revealed that the show had been viewed 26 million times globally in the 70 days since its premiere. Confirming the second series, Chris McCarthy, one of Paramount Global's three CEOs and president of MTV Entertainment said: 'With more than 26 million viewers and climbing, MobLand has become a resounding triumph — driven by the creative brilliance of Guy, Jez, Ronan and David Glasser, and brought to life by the powerhouse performances of Tom, Pierce, and Helen. 'We are elated to greenlight a second season of this global phenomenon, which has dominated both domestic and international charts and soared to #1 in the UK.' In MobLand, Pierce takes the role of Irishman Conrad Hannigan, whose wife Maeve is played by Helen. The pair head up a criminal family in London. The tenth episode of the gangster show faced backlash over Pierce Brosnan's Irish accent - with some critics calling for it to be axed. However, a dramatic end involving Tom Hardy's character Harry appears to have got viewers hooked on the idea of more episodes - something which has now been confirmed as a reality. In a shock move, Harry's loyal wife Jan stabbed him in the chest in a fit of rage while chopping carrots in the kitchen. Pierce Brosnan's wife Keely shows off weight loss transformation as they join the cast of MobLand on the red carpet Fans think this cliffhanger ending proves why the show must return - to find out whether he survives. Sharing various thoughts on how series two will play out, one said: "I saw a post about the ending being bad and Harry getting stabbed being a way for Tom Hardy to leave, but I feel like what followed after the stabbing was kind of a wink that nothing is going to happen to him. "Harry is definitely the cherry on top of the cake and the showrunners are not oblivious to that. "If the show has a season 2, Harry will be in there and he would've survived." Someone else added: "After enjoying the S1 finale, it appears we have our new antagonists to go up against Harry and Kevin: Kat and Eddie in series two. "Eddie is more f****d up than we thought! Choking your own mother to death is pretty heinous."
