One of Britain's most popular seaside towns is being ruined by Airbnbs, locals say - with the holiday lets forcing out families, destroying any sense of community and turning it into a 'ghost town' in the winter. Residents of picturesque Whitstable in Kent - including an Airbnb owner himself - have blasted holiday lets for forcing out families who were born and raised in the coastal resort. Their anger comes after it was revealed that 542 Airbnbs are available in the town. This is compared with only eight livable apartments listed on Rightmove in the same area.

Following Ralf Little's (centre) surprise departure from the show, a number of actors have been rumored to appear in Death In Paradise. In Sunday night's episode, actor Neville Parker said farewell to the island of Saint Marie, causing viewers to weep. The BBC then confirmed Ralf had left the show after the finale aired, with the actor taking to Instagram to share: 'The secret's out! My time on Saint Marie has come to an end. But, what an end!'

Will Mackenzie, the actor, who is now 34, appeared on the smash hit Channel 4 comedy 14 years ago and appeared in a one-episode cameo. However, the actor now appears drastically different when compared to his debut on the sitcom, sporting a fresh look.

The center of Britain's major cities and the hard-working shopkeepers who have built their lives and livelihoods around the hustle and bustle of customers visiting every day are the biggest losers in the shift in work patterns. Shakir Hussain (pictured), the owner of Citiques antiques and gift shop in London's Smithfield Market, claims his income has decreased from £3,000 a month to as little as £500.

Sarah Vine bet that you'll love Very British comedy with a warm heart. Simon's character David wakes his family up with the news of the apocalypse. The children were terrified, following him and Fiona to the middle of a field, only to learn that it was all a drill.

CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: Good comedy is never politically correct. Classic sitcoms can be inspired by ideas in the worst-case scenario. A World War II sex farce starring sadistic Gestapo agents and nubile resistance fighters is a terrible notion, but 'Allo 'Allo! Audiences are already raving with laughter as a result of the raucous. Greg Davies wrote The Cleaner, an all-star BBC1 show with an enthralling plot: his protagonist mops up murder scenes for a living. It's more amusing than it seems.

According to Inbetweeners actor Simon Bird, revivaling the comedy would be a "terrible prospect" and is not positive they'd be able to get away with certain things. The British actor, who is 38, was only recently told how he thinks the film was 'not a realistic representation of how teenagers talked' and has since reiterated that opinion. Simon, who appeared as lead character Will McKenzie on the show which lasted from 2008-2010, spoke to the Radio Times in their latest issue, discussing the time spent on the immensely popular E4 program.

Simon Bird has admitted that he doesn't think The Inbetweeners will be made today. Will McKenzie, 38, appeared on the show from 2008 to 2010 and followed a group of teen friends' misadventures. During its run, the show, which aired on E4, was extremely popular, and it covered topics including sexuality, male bonding, and lad culture.

Will McKenzie's 'fit mum' Polly was one of the most memorable characters on the iconic comedy The Inbetweeners. But now the actress who starred her has confirmed that she is still has teenage dreams 14 years after the beloved sitcom first aired. Belinda Stewart-Wilson, 51, said she still gets 'graphic' messages from young men who adored her character Polly McKenzie, and she has even been shouted at in the street.
