[2][3] Returning from the fifth series were the Garvey family, consisting of Mick (Steve Pemberton), Janice (Siobhan Finneran), Michael Garvey (Oliver Stokes) and Janice's mother Madge Barron (Sheila Reid); swingers Donald (Kenny Ireland) and Jacqueline Stewart (Janine Duvitski); hairdressers Liam Conroy (Adam Gillen) and Kenneth Du Beke (Tony Maudsley); and Solana staff, consisting of barmen Mateo Castellanos (Jake Canuso) and Les/Lesley Conroy (Tim Healy), and manageress Joyce Temple-Savage (Sherrie Hewson).

[4] A new family was introduced – the Dykes from Watford, consisting of married couple Clive (Perry Benson) and Tonya (Hannah Waddingham) and their children Tiger (Danny Walters) and Bianca (Bel Powley).

[6] The Garveys' holiday starts to go wrong at Alicante Airport when a supposed bag of Madge's tanning pills gets mistaken for drugs – and Mick gets the blame.

Martin Weedon arrives at the resort for what proves to be a rowdy stag do, and Madge is determined to stir things up with the Dyke family – so Janice, Mick, Tonya, Bianca and Clive all do their best to ignore her.

Following the stag weekend, best man Martin wakes up in bed next to Bianca, but there's a shock in store when she reveals her true age and he steels himself to face the music with Clive and Tonya.

Meanwhile, Kenneth has a crisis at the salon, and when Joyce sets up a volleyball court by the pool, umpire Mateo bends the rules of the game so he can win a bet against Tiger and Michael.
