"Aren't they in Spain? That didn't sound Spanish." Mandy, I love you, but really?! It's a holiday resort and people from all over Europe (the world to a lesser extent) holiday there! 😂 Why would it need to be Spanish? 😛 None of this was filmed in Spain as they didn't have the budget for it back then, so the beach is in England, and the rest tactically filmed in the studio. Even in 1982, there's no way that was ever Benidorm anyway. Benidorm is often described as the "Manhattan of the Mediterranean" because it's all high rise buildings. Mostly hotels in Benidorm's case. It's looked down on by snobs but for many years it's been an extremely popular holiday resort for Brits. The old town has a more Spanish feel but there aren't too many Spanish in many of the hotels in the main tourist drag. It is a slow episode and not really one of my favourites, but I do enjoy Granddad's story at the end. The prison cell was inevitably larger than their hotel room - remember it was a cut price holiday, 80% off. 😉 "Did he just try to say Buenos Aires?!" Ouch, Mandy! 😂 That was said with so much contempt! 😛 Rodney said it how most English people say it. I appreciate you say it correctly but I'm guessing you also say "Paris" pronounced "Pa-riss" and not "Pa-ree"? 😇😉😛 The Anglicised pronunciation is legitimate is all I'm saying! 😃 You are one of 5 reactors to watch this show and I do feel you haven't warmed to it anywhere near as much as the other 4, but I honestly would still implore you to continue. This was a slower episode, but if you suddenly jumped to a season 6 episode you would be truly shocked at how much it has developed. Patience is a virtue! Then again, don't force yourself to watch if it's not up your street. 🙂

I think most of us could do a bit better than Rodney. He pretty much said Boonus Aries.

Julian

Stick at it Mandy, the next episode is a classic.

A spanish omelette contains sliced potatoes and onions.

I heard "Bwen-oss Air-ess" which is how most English people say it. Not all though, and however people say it, I'd only really expect the denizens of Buenos Aires, Argentina, and those with Spanish as their mother tongue actually to say it correctly. Same principle applies to "Paris" and its true / round the world pronunciations. Lots of other examples too. Remember that Nick Lyndhurst is really quite posh in real life and already affecting Rodney's Cockney accent, so that will throw it too.

Julian

Maybe his accent comes into it but it was more Boon than Bwen. I think bilingual people are more likely to say things correctly but common usage in your native tongue will influence it. We make a minimal effort with some city names, but we point blank refuse to say Barthelona instead of Barcelona 😎

Julian

With each season there’s a slight increase in quality and eventually it seems like every episode is a classic.

Stuart

I have to listen to people, some of whom have lived here over thirty years butcher the English language so we aren't the only ones. Also making an effort to properly pronounce foreign words can be seen as pretentious, so a lot of people don't even though they can.

I love this show, but I grew up in the 90s and 00s so I didn't necessarily watch it in order. More like seeing all the most replayed classic episodes first on TV before going back when I was older to watch the whole show. If I'd just watched these first couple of seasons I probably wouldn't have warmed to it yet much either. Up until A Touch of Glass I pretty much dislike every single episode apart from the odd one or two and wouldn't choose to watch any of them.

Something I notice is the number of times during these Only Fools episodes you look confused at a random comment or reference the characters make, and let me tell you, as a British millenial, I don't have a damn clue either! 🤣 Using an example from this episode, I have no idea what Del says when they're in the prison cell and he says something about "I bet he didn't even have his [???] to suck, did he?". Lots of references that flew over my head as a 90s kid so a foreign lass watching it has got no chance 🤣

Ash Jeffries

I completely agree, Stuart. If a Brit said to me they'd just got back from "Par-ee" after their trip to Paris, I'd cringe painfully. Ryan - I agree with this too. I have seen the whole show countless times and love it all really but for a first time viewer I can see why these first two series are a bit underwhelming. I said that other reactors warmed more to it than Mandy but actually, if I think about it, it took them longer than I remember. ItsJPS was in tears at the end of the series and didn't want to say goodbye. King Boomer has said that Only Fools and Horses is the best show he's ever reacted to on his channel (and he's reacted to a ton of classic and more modern British comedy). Both of them were actually a bit lukewarm until probably halfway through season 3, with certain episodes in series 1 and 2 really impressing them and others they just found OK. Much more similar to Mandy's journey hitherto than I immediately recall. Mandy will be so grateful she stuck with this later on (if she does, and I really hope you do, Mandy!) 😇🙏

The thing you couldn't understand was "Callard & Bowser", a Scottish company who most famously made Altoids (the little mints in the tin). Before that, they made lots of flavours of sweets but always in little tins (to my recollection). Not sure if they're still around, but big in the 20th century.

It was a bit slow but I love Grandad and learning about his life

Rob G

This show has huge women!!

“You mean you were gun running in the middle of a civil war?” “Well that's the best time to do it Rodney!” 🤣 And as others have said, next episode is a classic and then there’s a Xmas special before s3!

Josh

There is no hiding that is actually a crap British beach 🤣 Showing your skills at spotting boom mics again I was stood behind a very tall woman the other dsy I'm just under six foot and I just came up to her shoulder. My advice is give it to the end of series 3 and if you are still not overly impressed think about stopping or having a break from it. What did Kitana do to you? What did your brother call the kitten?

Z is for Zed

Nobody could mistake Rodney for a teenager, now you're just being silly.

steven

I pronounce it Barry's Hairy. Cheers, Mandy. 🤗🤗

DriveIn

It was a bold choice to set the entire second half of the episode in a small dark room 😁 the women were 7+ feet tall though so I will give it a pass 👍

Exzymt

“Looking forward to see how that one unfolds.” Haha… “That cell is better than their hotel room.” Haha It’s always fun, slow episode or whatnot, but you make it great… 👌

Kirk Deighton

Rodney did your city more justice in the pronunciation than most people round here can. The only South American city name most round here can even come close to pronouncing is Fray Bentos. And this is only because they make pies that were exported here in huge numbers. Its up the Uruguay river, and stuck in the corner where it makes a sharp right angle, on the Uruguay side.

Stevus

Every time I watch this, I always end up distracted thinking about the welfare of that poor pony.

James Miller

Is there a new episode coming soon? 🙂
