Every summer, three families head to Paradise Park - a rundown caravan site clinging to the Essex coast near Clacton. They’ve each owned a van there for five years, and no matter the weather or how questionable the facilities, it’s now a fixed part of their calendar.

The entertainment’s ropey, the pool’s been “under refurbishment” since 2019, and rumour has it the on-site chip shop isn’t legally allowed to serve food. But none of that matters. What Paradise Park lacks in standards, it makes up for in loyalty, laughs, and the shared belief that this is our thing.

At the heart of the show: three caravans. Three families. One chaotic week of British holiday hell.

• The Coopers - Loud, loyal, and a little bit lawless. David and Shelly are barely holding it together, their kids are either sulking or feral, and David’s elderly parents are somehow both deaf and able to hear every row in a ten-mile radius.

• The Parkers - Roy’s David’s best mate and a walking cliché of the British holiday dad: sunburned, drunk by noon, and obsessed with group photos. His wife Heather complains about everything - especially the things she secretly loves.

• The Blacks - Theo and Florence seem more respectable… until you get to karaoke night. Their teenage son Caleb loiters near the arcade and avoids all eye contact. Florence likes to act above it all - until the rosé kicks in.

And then there’s Wayne Kerr, the park’s useless handyman who’s somehow never fixed a thing in his life. He lives in a static van that smells of petrol and Lynx Africa, and once claimed he was next in line to manage the park (he’s not).

Each episode follows a new misadventure - from gazebo collapses and bingo bust-ups to food poisoning, turf wars, and the eternal hunt for decent Wi-Fi.

Paradise Park is a warm, nostalgic British sitcom about bad weather, worse accommodation, and the kind of lifelong friendships that only happen when you survive a holiday together. Think Benidorm meets Gavin & Stacey.
