Radio Times: Review by:; Patrick Mulkern

Janice is alarmed to read that a gang is going round Benidorm kidnapping people off the streets and stealing their vital organs. And when young Michael sees his nana, Madge, being bundled into a car, the Garveys fear the worst.

Meanwhile, daffy Noreen chums up with sulky Gavin — who knows where that might lead! Joyce tries to impress the oafish editor of Costa Class magazine, and Jacqueline and Donald download Swingfinder, a phone app that locates broadminded playmates anywhere in the world. They’re soon up to some “very consenting” role-play.

Scary Trudy, however, moans that she hasn’t “had a whiff of it” all week, so Sam dares her to try acting ladylike for 24 hours. These two are quickly becoming Solana favourites, as is slack Alice hairstylist Kenneth with his über-camp wardrobe. In such a busy episode there are inevitable misfires but still plenty of coarse cackles in the sun. Not to be sniffed at.
