"The new comedy should be good for Scarborough. Benidorm had a massive impact on tourism in the town so hopefully the same thing will happen here. I look forward to seeing it.

"They all spoke very positively of the town, they said people are very nice."

Today, filming is believed to be taking place at Sandside.

Scarborough's Luna Park re-opened with new attractions around Easter, a week after its new operator was granted the lease.
