Crissy Rock: Political Correctness May Kill Benidorm Reboot

Actress Crissy Rock, who played Janey Yorke in the early seasons of the ITV sitcom Benidorm, has voiced apprehension regarding the possibility of a show revival. She believes that increasing political correctness could significantly impede any attempts to bring the popular sun-soaked comedy back to screens.

Rock pointed to evolving societal norms, stating that current restrictions on speech and actions make it difficult to replicate the show's original humor. She expressed frustration, feeling that "the world's gone mad" with such changes, noting examples like smoking restrictions and limitations in pantomimes.

Despite these concerns, Rock remains open to reprising her role. She recalled the challenging set conditions on Benidorm due to intense heat and lack of air conditioning. Currently, she is performing in the play 'Desperate Scousewives' in Liverpool, a production she feels shares Benidorm's relatable character-driven appeal.
