Kate is still desperate to leave The Solana, but her head is turned by the handsome Spanish waiter, Matteo. Donald and Jacqueline are keen to come to the aid of hotel employee Kelly, Matteo's fiancée.

It's a joy fest, better than the second episode, lots of funny moments, vest of all is Madge singing about her toothbrush.

It's nice to see Kate in better spirits, but then who wouldn't be cheered up by the gorgeous Jake Canuso, the stereotypical horny Spanish waiter. Abigail Cruttenden's comedy timing is glorious, one of the best performers on this show.

Gavin once again delivers some great lines with true sarcasm, brilliant.

Good efforts by the production team to make it look warm, at times it looks pretty cold.

8/10.

Kate who has been a pain finally thaws. It takes Mateo the flirty barman to do it. A not so subtle pass while Kate is lying by the pool.

At least Mateo is accurately based! Only Kelly the young woman who works at the hotel to keep the British holidaymakers happy is engaged to Mateo.

Something Donald and Jacqueline find startling as they kind of know what kind of guy Mateo is.

The third episode also continues with Chantelle's pregnancy. Then there is Grandma Madge's constant smoking and taking in the sun. When Kelly tells her about Melanoma. Madge thinks it is a person.

The series flits around the various characters, but not always able to give enough time to all of them.

Once again Garvey stands out and at least there is more depth to Kate and Martin Weedon.
