Watching this again from the beginning. So far it is not as good as I remember, or have my tastes changed?

I still love the older series 
I watched it from the start again during lockdown last year

It's a great show until the Garvey's leave. Then it begins its decline for me.
Donald and Jacqueline are absolute icons though.

Totally agree! Last few seasons weren’t great
Totally agree when they bought in Liam thats when it got too stupid to laugh at. Loved series 2 when Mel got eletrocuted and they thought he was dead
I am upto season 3/4 and starting to get bored of Garvey's, so if it gets worse I might switch off.
Binge Watched them all for the first time during the first lockdown and when we finally get out of this farce pandemic I'm going to live my life like Jacqueline and Donald do. Minus the swinging, maybe.
Older ones are great. It's a case of a show going on too long. I don't think I finished the later series.
I have family in Spain who live about 10 miles away from Beni and they met a lot of the cast.
Nicest ones- Madge, Janice, Liam
Rudest- Donald (spoke to fans/crew like tit) Gavin (snobbery, just like his character
)
Chrissy Rock is also a massive coke/pisshead
Apparently Joan Collins was fab and letting people take pics and sign autographs

I still really like series 1-3. But after that it started to decline. I did like Kenneth throughout but that’s probably it. I can’t be doing with really thick characters and Joey just took the piss.
He was one of the worst characters, think that’s what made me stop watching the later series
I loved the first few seasons, and watched up until season 7 but then it just got awful! I love Madge, the stuff she would come out with, you wouldn't get away with that now as too many people would likely complain but I thought she was hilarious. Also season 6 i think when the small man with glasses from London sings Eamon's 'duck you I dont want you back' at karaoke had me in tears cause my boyfriends from London and I expect him to sing like that It got crap for me after the Garveys left.

Agree with everyone here, was better with the Garveys but then in the last couple of series I liked the couple who were sort of the Garveys’ replacement, especially the episode where she said her fantasy was to shag an Aussie and the husband came in dressed as Crocodile Dundee with a blow up croc the young lads got annoying as they were overtly thick and couldn’t warm to the Dyke family I think they were called, the one with the tall wife and short hubby. The original cast made that show but I loved the girl who was a chavvy holidaymaker and became a rep, she had some hilarious lines.

So everyone was a bit too one dimensional caricature.
That had me howlingI loved the first few seasons, and watched up until season 7 but then it just got awful!

it's the fact that he was pretty dull through the verse and as soon as he got to the chorus and shouted out "duck what I said.." just finished me offI was in tears! It was the funniest thing, I wasn't expecting him to start singing that... Near crying watching it againThat had me howling
epicThat had me howling
Omg hilarious loved that bitThat had me howling
Aw that's a shame about Donald. He was a known regular at my mate's local before he died. Was meant to be very nice and kept himself to himself.I have family in Spain who live about 10 miles away from Beni and they met a lot of the cast.

The older ones were defo better, but Kenneth was the best thing in the show for me
