The Janice Garvey actress believes that the success of The Inbetweeners shows that the ITV comedy would suit a film spinoff.
She told What's on TV: "It would be exciting, yes. We don't know if there's a movie in the pipeline but why not? If The Inbetweeners has been a huge success, I'm sure we could be, too."
Meanwhile, she said of the show's continued triumph in the ratings: "I think people who have stuck with it from the beginning are telling their friends and family to watch it, so it's just grown. If you talk to people they say, 'Oh I'd never seen it but then somebody told me to watch it or friends bought me the box set'. And now they've now caught up."
Finneran, who also stars in Downton Abbey, added: "There's nothing else like it on the telly and we go out at a great time of year. We go out in February when everyone's fed up, cold, miserable, and we bring a bit of sunshine into their lives. You can sit and have a good giggle. If it's up your street you can have a good laugh at it."
Benidorm's fourth series, which features guest stars Kate O'Mara and Matthew Kelly, begins next Friday (February 24) at 9pm.
Last nights episode was the best of this series! the rest as been dismal.I hope they bin it after this, a shame it used to be a great laugh, now boring and predictable.

Hope it's a lot better than the 4th series which seemed to have lost it's way. Tim Healey was the star for me singing Poker Face was it's saving grace.

My parents balcony overlooks the main pool they use for filming. It's one of those shows that shouldn't be funny. It really shouldn't... But it is.
It suits that town perfectly.

Series 4 was awful. They should have stopped after series 3.
