Bargain-Loving Brits in the Sun

Caroline, the owner of a chip shop situated in the heart of Benidorm’s historic old town, is under pressure to give the premises a fresh look. She has only a single day to complete the redecoration before she can fire up the fryers again.

The programme follows Caroline, the proprietor of a chip shop situated in the bustling heart of Benidorm’s old town. It’s presented as a single episode that centres on her efforts to give the premises a fresh look before business resumes in earnest. The core of the story sees Caroline racing against the clock to complete a full redecorating of her shop. With only a single day at her disposal, she must organise the work, oversee the contractors and make all the necessary decisions before she can fire the fryers up again. The ticking‑clock premise adds a palpable sense of urgency, as every hour shaved off the timetable brings her closer to the moment when the fryers will be switched back on. The setting in Benidorm’s historic district provides a lively backdrop, highlighting the contrast between the shop’s traditional fare and the modernising touches Caroline hopes to introduce. By the end of the episode, the viewer is left with a clear picture of Caroline’s determination to transform her chip shop within an extremely tight timeframe, illustrating both the challenges of small‑business renovation and the pressure of meeting a looming operational deadline.
