There was some filming in our complex with a 70 yrs + couple from Liverpool , it caused a bit of a problem with quite a few of the owners not wanting the cameras in the complex , they are now sh****ng themselves as to how the programme is going to look on TV!
The reviews look horrendous!

The press release looks riverting, Exec producer Sam Barcroft has described the documentary as "thought provoking".

Heres the link, hope it works - happy reading (it won't take long)

Maybe that well known expression for OAPs in Tenerife over winter ie 'swallows' will feature, if not I'm sure some wit here will be able to make better mileage from it than me ! - thought I'd just sow the seed (if you see what i mean).

[marbro8]

Is there a better class of tourists in Portugal then?that's what i thought??? there are going to be tourists whenever you go to a holiday destination?, but the beer isn't as cheap as the canaries and i think the food is more expensive so maybe it attracts a "DIFFERENT" type of tourist;)

We've only been to Portugal twice, stayed at a place on the outskirts of Albufeira, what we didn't realise when we booked it was that it was close to "the strip". The second morning we were there we were woken up by a young bloke trying to force his way into our apartment. He was completely off his head. When I shouted to him to F off he proceeded to p*ss all over our door and veranda.

A better class of tourist? I think not.

Nothing like that has ever happened to us in the 20 odd years we've been going to Tenerife.

Ah, the famous Montechorro Strip above Sao Joao ?Was there many years ago as it was building up , must be heaving now !
Marboro , I know some of the content of the programme , unfortunately it won't reflect the couple who were on TV today - they are a nice lively couple that enjoy a wonderful time , I wish I had half their energy!
Let's wait until Thursday to see what they put out !

haven't watched it yet, we went out so i recorded it, by the sounds of it we didn't miss much, i wonder if channel 5 want to come over and film us in october? my performance in margherita's with the mike stand sounds better than that:laugh:, the robbie williams tribute act said it was one of the most disgusting things he had ever seen, i have seen it back on video and he has a point:ashamed:,the poor woman that i had to lap dance for from the audience nearly fainted, quite proud of it really:eyebrows:

It was never going to be any other way, the Title of the programme and the pre-advertising for participants suggested that .
The Scouse couple were lucky as they came out better than I thought the programme would try and depict them and the others were just what Turismo doesn't want as an image (but actually exists ).
At least that's another couple of bars to avoid !!

Absolutely disgusted with the irresponsible TV company who encouraged this. How people spend their money on holiday is their business as is how they behave. But this beautiful island is our business; it has suffered badly in the recession and has tried so hard to get back to some stability and then this second lot of bad publicity comes unnecessarily to the fore. What about this stunning island and the many activities in which so many pensioners participate such as walking, hangliding, sailing, cycling, fishing, running businesses, photography, painting etc. etc.? I have already joined in the debate on Facebook and along with many posted on the Channel 5 FB site. The programme showed a minority who were not at their best and I make no apologies for feeling very sad and apologetic towards this lovely island which has so much to offer. For the record I am NOT teetotal!

[Leam_Lin]

On again tonight 9pm channel 5 +24. Will be watching it tonight, missed it last night ,on the flight home .

[junglejim]

You are joking ? !!!!!!!
As far as I am aware there is only 1 programme scheduled , there is a couple of TV interviews being proposed for Marie & Gordon (UTV).
Barcroft did film over a few weeks but if that's the best they could come up with, I cant see a sequel !

[marbro8]

Bet the Tourist Board have all got long faces after that awful programme, shame when the island has so much to offer they have to show that. What a PR disaster:ashamed:i don't think it will have any real adverse affect on the tourist trade, because millions of holidaymakers that come year after year know what the island has to offer, i think that the pickpockets,looky looky men, timeshare and muggers have had more of an affect than that,i have spent the last 8 years re-educating people who's houses i work at, telling them that veronicas strip actually accounts for about 1% of what tenerife is all about,because of the damage tenerife uncovered did to it's image they thought that they could never take their kids???;)

[martincrabb99]

There is no more OAPs a Behaving Badly in Tenerife.

There is however Blackmarket Brits: Undercover Sting.

[warbey]

.
iI saw some of it. The TV. People could be worried if it got reported under the Trade Description Act.

I did think though that looking at the Background was a plus. Weather..sunny Buildings looked clean and presentable..

I looked into U-Tube today for Leapy's Record. Interestingly He was recorded in Magaluf recently, so the impression
He was stagnating in Tenerife is misleading, same as the whole Flaming Programme...

[marbro8]

There is no more OAPs a Behaving Badly in Tenerife.

There is however Blackmarket Brits: Undercover Sting.oh no:pray:, i will apologise now for any embarrassment caused by my actions and in true slodgedad style would like to add that my actions have in no way got anything to do with the tenerife forum and my involvement as a long standing member:eyebrows:

[tfs1]

You are joking ? !!!!!!! I have had a good look around the internet and cant find any reference to there being anymore progs - thankfully !

[imablue]

Personally i think the whole programme was a total waste,
the PR at Lazy Daze?
say no more..
the Scouse Couple.. give them some credit ..they got people involved..,
Leapy Lee so long as he stays at the Golf he,s not harming anyone..thankfully ...

Personally i think the whole programme was a total waste,
the PR at Lazy Daze?
say no more..
the Scouse Couple.. give them some credit ..they got people involved..,
Leapy Lee so long as he stays at the Golf he,s not harming anyone..thankfully ...i don't think lucky will agree:laugh:

[imablue]

Sorry ...maybe Lucky might have some problems..then again can he handle Leapy,s Bird .......?:whistle:

[essexeddie]

I thought I saw that the program was 1 of 4 but I think I may be wrong, well I hope so.
I cant see it stretching that far.

Absolutely disgusted with the irresponsible TV company who encouraged this. How people spend their money on holiday is their business as is how they behave. But this beautiful island is our business; it has suffered badly in the recession and has tried so hard to get back to some stability and then this second lot of bad publicity comes unnecessarily to the fore. What about this stunning island and the many activities in which so many pensioners participate such as walking, hangliding, sailing, cycling, fishing, running businesses, photography, painting etc. etc.? I have already joined in the debate on Facebook and along with many posted on the Channel 5 FB site. The programme showed a minority who were not at their best and I make no apologies for feeling very sad and apologetic towards this lovely island which has so much to offer. For the record I am NOT teetotal!

agree wholeheartedly, such a shame that Tenerife is portrayed in this way.Hope people who've never visited realise the OAPs featured are in the minority. I visit frequently and have met people from all walks of life enjoying Canarian culture, beautiful golf courses, fishing villages with wonderful tapas and views to match. Nothing against the people featured in the programme as it's their life and they're not harming anyone, but it's a great shame to viewers of the programme who may think the holiday described is typical of the Tenerife way of life because we know it's not.

I think the viewers of the programme will understand that Tenerife has a lot to offer and that the programme only highlighted the activities of a minority. I also like the way that the posters on this topic have not judged those involved. The main area of concern appears to be with Channel 5 and I suppose that viewing numbers are there priority.

I think the programme could have shown the dodgy Asian shopkeepers & their tactics, lucky lucky men continuously hassling you, don't mind a couple, hair braiders that grab your arm & have started weaving before you realise, beggers, pick pockets & taxi drivers that rip you off. This would definitely shown another side of Tenerife - a lot worse than shown.

[who-r-ya]

I saw this programme I just didn't recognise that behaviour as being a 'general' thing with OAP's maybe the people they filmed were the worst offenders? I remember seeing the advert for people over 60 yrs of age who go to Tenerife to 'enjoy' themselves and maybe have a good drink and dance (which you can do in the UK) to come forward for filming.. I actually spoke to the woman who was organising this programme, at the time of speaking to her I believe it was not intending to go for the angle they did, but I guess they wanted to make a story and shock people (which they did) so this is what they went with. What a shame, why they gave the drunken idiot who worked at 'Lazy Daze' so much air time is ridiculous! What I see, is the over 60's having fun, a drink, a sing song, a walk along the beach, touring around the island, joining local dance & chat groups, getting their nails and hair done at local hairdressers, making friends, putting money into the local economy, oh and having very early swim for exercise in the cold water of the hotel/apt pool!!

[Angusjim]

Were a Jock Tamsons bairns personally speaking I don't go to Tenerife to visit quaint wee villages and gasp at amazing views but on the other hand I don't go to get blootered every night I go to enjoy myself and do what I want to do which obviously what the people in the programme do. For me its a rock in the middle o the Atlantic that's nice and cosy in the winter and not to far away end of :tiphat:

A serious debate on Facebook is nearly as farcical as the programme, who in their right mind would think that a programme of that sort depicts the island as it really is, the only one who would give it credence are the ones who think that Veronica's is typical of the whole of Tenerife.???

A serious debate on Facebook? Somebody saying Tenerife is a Five Star destination, are they having a laugh. For goodness sake it was on Channel 5 how many of the millions of people who come to Tenerife or are thinking of coming to Tenerife actually watched it,their viewing figures are so low as to be ridiculous.Why on earth are people taking it so seriously they weren't actors they were real people and no it's not my idea of a good night but what harm were they doing and good for them if they were enjoying themselves they probably spent more in a night than some people spend in a month.There are hundreds of PR's like Pete and if anybody want's to go and watch one hit wonder Leapy Lee that's their right. When will people admit that things like this actually happen here, would they prefer to watch a programe about OAP's dying of cold and neglect in the UK.

As long as the majority of the people who viewed the programme and realise that it's not a true representation of the whole of Tenerife, or the folk who visit there, then that's great. I believe in live and let live!

Put most people in front of a movie camera and they become "actors" and that's what the producers of the programme have achieved.

I'm not sure where you got the idea that I did not enjoy the content of the programme or why I would prefer to watch old people dying of hyperthermia.???

[Malteser Monkey]

Who really pays attention to programs like that.

I am just going to say .....There is something in Tenerife for everyone.....whatever you are looking for - you will be sure to find it whether North, South, West or East !

You want peace and quiet you'll find it, You want raves and boozy nights ...you'll find it.

Just ask and get the right advice !

Should have put would they prefer and have edited it but if you think they turned into actors then you are well off the mark.What I find quite sad is that people think that a one off program on Chanel 5 could bring Tenerife to it's knees.

Quite a few of our winter "Swallows" occasionally toddle down hill to the Hop & Grapes , most in their late 60's and beyond - they have a long 4-6 months break in Tenerife and have been doing so for over 20years , including Marie & Gordon, we haven't lost one yet!
They also frequent other bars and restaurants none of which would allow filming and even on our complex it was strictly controlled .
The other bars in episode I recognised , including the scuffle at Veronicas which is commonplace with Morrocans and tourists who have been dipped (several tourists from our locals have been done there , despite being warned!)
Unfortunately the incidents in the program did happen and do not print a great picture for Turismo , people behaving quietly do not make TV attractive and that's life!

Please explain about twitter Warbs!!;)

[Ecky Thump]

Please explain about twitter Warbs!!;)

It's quite simple really, I think this brief explanation on the effect of "Twittering" should make it clear!:tiphat:


Twitterbots are capable of influencing public opinion about culture, products and political agendas by automatically generating mass amounts of tweets through imitating human communication.[The New York Times states, "They have sleep-wake cycles so their fakery is more convincing, making them less prone to repetitive patterns that flag them as mere programs".The tweets generated vary anywhere from a simple automated response to content creation and information sharing, all of which depends on the intention of the person purchasing or creating the bot. The social implications these Twitterbots potentially have on human perception are sizeable according to a study published by the ScienceDirect Journal. Looking at the Computers as Social Actors (CASA) paradigm, the journal notes, “people exhibit remarkable social reactions to computers and other media, treating them as if they were real people or real places”. The study concluded that Twitterbots were viewed as credible and competent in communication and interaction making them suitable for transmitting information in the social media sphere.[296] While the technological advances have enabled the ability of successful Human-Computer Interaction, the implications are questioned due to the appearance of both benign and malicious bots in the Twitter realm. Benign Twitterbots may generate creative content and relevant product updates whereas malicious bots can make unpopular people seem popular, push irrelevant products on users and spread misinformation, spam and/or slander.

Typical channel 5 rubbish. Showed nothing about Tenerife as an island whatsover. It might as well have been called behaving badly in Blackpool.

as for showing the veronicas strip how staged and how tacky. They didnt show the nice upmarket area round by the fountains did they and whete the outside crazy golf is. This prog did Tenerife no favours I am afraid. Its a beautiful island and the programmed just ruined it.

it also gave out the message you need to be drunk to enjoy yourself you dont.

No doubt about that especially when you mention being paid. Seriously it was as you say a bit of nothing, I have seen a lot worse than that mild behaviour on the streets of the UK, and that's what it was, a relatively mild representation of a few and should we really judge them?

[cheery]

I watched the programme on Catchup. It didn't come as any shock given the title and if people want to live like that it's up to them. I won't be like that when I finally make the move but I won't be a wallflower either. There is far too much to do on Tenerife other than just sitting round the pool or on the beach getting drunk every day. Fair enough for the first few weeks we would be treating it like a holiday but money doesn't last forever even if I wished to adopt that lifestyle.

As for Leapy Lee being a washed out never was, how many people on here had a hit record in the 60s. Fair play to the guy, he looks like he's having fun even if he gets a bit knackered these days. I saw him on a programme about Mallorca around 15 years ago. He was doing what he does now, except he's quite a bit older.

Self-serving I think. By talking about it and revealing concerns for the island, at least there are a few of us who don't think it's right JUST to show the worst excesses of the place we love . Perhaps we'd better be silent and let the boozing etc. aspects dominate the island's reputation for there seems to be no redress.

That's exactly what television/media companies are "self serving", if it makes good viewing numbers for them and the financial income that they receive from this, they are happy. In turn if you could get another TV company to make a programme about any injustice that you feel about the programme and they thought it would bring in more income for them, then they would be happy....it's a vicious circle of companies not caring and self interest, including the bar owner and Leapy Lee who were featured in the programme.

[martincrabb99]

You are right to express your point of view and it is a good question to pose to Channel 5.
My point of view is that it was rather a lightweight programme and it certainly did not give a balanced view of Tenerife. I enjoy the beautiful scenery, the activities and a whole lot more.
The fact remains that some people enjoy socialising is also

[martincrabb99]

A part of life on Tenerife. Channel 5 produce a number of these type of programmes which attract a particular viewing audience and the content does not always reflect the true facts. On that I agree.

[Angusjim]

I think that the point Duquessa is making is 'Why the title and theme?' and 'Why Tenerife?'

Title because it was about OAP's Behaving Badly ( in some peoples opinion ) and they were in Tenerife. Are you saying if it was OAP's Behaving Badly in say Fairlie that would be OK ?

I don't post often but come to Tenerife almost every year with my wife.

Watched the Ch5 program but to be honest I can't see that it would put many off coming to the island. The last two years we have brought my parents who are in their 70's and they are coming with us again next year.
When I talk to work colleagues and friends the reason they don't like Tenerife's main resorts is the constant PR people, lucky lucky sellers and the people who now think it's OK to grab you. Makes it difficult to go out for a relaxing stroll.
Last year was the first time I saw any actual crime but I witnessed two pick pockets, one bag snatch on foot and one drive by bag snatch.

Tenerife's reputation isn't made by one TV show it's made by the comments people give to others when they return from holiday. The law and enforcement needs tightening to clean up the resorts.

Cheers
