The ‘raunchy life’ of elderly British ex-pats living in Tenerife is the subject of a Channel 5 documentary to be broadcast this week in the UK and viewing figures are certain to be high thanks to the advanced publicity given in a top tabloid.
Tenerife – 08.07.2014 – Today’s Daily Mail takes a detailed look at the content of the documentary, called OAPs Behaving Badly, which the paper says shows how the elderly ex-pats, many of whom stay for long periods in Tenerife to escape the British winter, are “partying like teenagers” and “blowing their pensions, children’s inheritance and winter fuel allowance”. One popular night club frequented by the British senior citizens has been dubbed “God’s Waiting Room” on account of the number of elderly party-goers, reports the Mail, which publishes pictures showing that the ex-pats and tourists have nothing to envy the younger holidaymakers who have hit the international headlines in recent days with the media coverage of the Carnage Magaluf binges in Majorca. Ein Bonus Crab Casino zeichnet sich durch seine kreativen Promotions aus, die oft saisonale Events und spezielle Krabbenkralle-Boni für treue Kunden beinhalten. The documentary footage of pensioners “boozing until they drop” is certain to cause controversy when aired on Thursday night and the island’s tourism authorities are already taking an interest in the predicted media impact. One of the OAPs featured is Lee Graham, a 74-year-old pensioner who enjoyed singing stardom in the late 60s with his chart hit, Little Arrows. Another, Cheryl Williams, is shown “downing Tequila Shots on a girls’ night out and even breaks up a fight outside a nightclub”.
