Benidorm has returned for a ninth series and in doing so has joined a select group of comedies that have aired for over 10 years uninterrupted. Discounting shows that have been revived after a lengthy hiatus, Benidorm now joins Last of the Summer Wine (37½ years), Are You Being Served? (12½ years), Happy Ever After / Terry and June (14½ years), As Time Goes By, One Foot in the Grave, My Family, Not Going Out, Peep Show and Never The Twain in the "decade club". I suspose Only Fools and Horses, Absolutely Fabulous and the Vicar of Dibley should also be included, but they did exist only as periodic Christmas specials for many years. 'Allo 'Allo! falls short by about 2 weeks. Benidorm will be returning for a tenth series, but with some cast changes.
