Every year the UK would jet off to sunny Benidorm just by turning on their TVs - until it was cruelly snatched away from us.

The hit ITV series brought the sun, sand and sea into our living rooms every week from February 2007, as well as the fights, drunken antics and people constantly getting shoved in that pool.

The popular show, which won six NTAs and a BAFTA during its run, centred on the goings-on among British holidaymakers in the sunny Spanish resort.

We fell in love with eccentric characters such as feisty Madge Garvey driving round on her mobility scooter and lothario Mateo trying it on with the as many women as possible.

Driving Equality Law: Philadelphia ban on traffic stops for minor infractions goes into effect
PHILADELPHIA - A new law banning traffic stops for minor infractions went into effect in Philadelphia Thursday, despite recent legal challenges from the police union. Thursday’s implementation of their Driving Equality Law made Philadelphia the first city in the country to implement a law designed to reduce cases of what’s often called ‘driving while Black’ – or getting pulled over for superficial and racially motivated reasons. City Council passed the first-of-its kind bill in October, and Mayor Jim Kenney signed it into law in November, before it went into effect March 3. The law bans officers from pulling over vehicles based on traffic violations that are considered "secondary violations" in an effort to prevent racial disparities in traffic incidents handled by police. The following issues are considered secondary violations in the new law:Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #5 filed a lawsuit against the city and city officials over the law late last month, claiming that the law was dangerous. "This terrible law puts reckless drivers behind the wheel of unsafe vehicles that ultimately puts the general public in danger," said FOP Lodge # President John McNesby. McNesby had expressed concerns about the law before it was passed. In October, he told FOX 29 about the importance of traffic stops. "These stops, they lead to bigger things, they find guns, they find drugs, it leads to bigger things," he said.
