Shane Richie will also be back for four episodes, reprising his role as lively entertainer Sammy Valentino, while John Challis will become a series regular as Monty Staines. The Dawsons (Julie Graham, Steve Edge, Kate Fitzgerald, Bobby Knutt and Josh Bolt) will all return, while Troy (Paul Bazely), The Oracle (Johnny Vegas) and Tiger (Danny Walters) will not be back for season ten.<\/p>\n<p>The show\u2019s creator, Derren Litten, will pen episodes one through three, as well as eight and nine, of the new season.

As I put the finishing touches on the 74th episode I am so grateful to our fans and to ITV for giving <em>Benidorm<\/em> the best possible home we could hope for. Here&#8217;s to the next ten years!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Saskia Schuster, ITV\u2019s comedy commissioning editor, said, \u201c<em>Benidorm<\/em> is very much part of the ITV family, with viewers taking these wonderful characters to their hearts.
