N–A	"Benidorm: 10 Years on Holiday"	N/A	N/A	20 February 2018 (2018-02-20)	N/A
First screened in 2007 in a 30-minute format, the show grew to be hugely popular with ITV viewers and was BAFTA-nominated and won numerous TV awards over the years, including two National TV Awards. The show's creator and writer Derren Litten guides viewers around Benidorm to reveal how the show was created, whilst visiting the show's many real-life locations. Cast members past and present talk about their roles on the show, alongside show bloopers and behind-the-scenes footage of the upcoming 10th series being filmed. All the actors who played members of the Garvey family – Steve Pemberton, Siobhan Finneran, Sheila Reid, Ollie Stokes and Hannah Hobley – return for the one-off special to talk about their time on the show.
