1983 BBC Documentary: A Package Holiday to Benidorm

All those stuffed donkeys and sombreros heading back to Manchester. The tour operator is Intasun.

The moron with the emu was a total embarrassment and I found most of the video seemed to be staged, especially the mother and daughter sequence. Also many people were miked up.

The contrived situation between them both in the so called disco, dancing and the music was excruciating to watch and listen to. The music must have been dubbed because that wasn't disco music of the early 80s.

Also the long snogging session at the beginning and the two talking about likely girls was very unsavoury indeed.

I thought the video had no redeeming factors whatsoever, and extremely cringeworthy to watch, and in fact I couldn't watch it right to the very end.

The worst for me is everyone smoking everywhere , i remember constantly smelling of it , on the plane , in the hotel, restaurants , hotel rooms, you name it , you couldn't escape it as a non smoker
It was bad enough when out clubbing in the 70s and 80s, at the end of the night all my clothes ended up in the wash , then going on holiday you had the same without the washing facilities
I am surprised i didn't end up with lung cancer from passive smoke
