Description

On January 15 1955, The Benny Hill Show began its long and groundbreaking run on BBC television. Featuring sketches never broadcast in America, this hilarious medley contains vintage material from Benny when his cheeky humor established him as one of England's funniest - and naughtiest - comedians. Filled with riotous musical send-ups, fractured fairy tales, wacky commercial spoofs and pitch-perfect impressions, this collection captures the vast range of one of England's most inspired comics!

DVD Features:
Biographies:Cast bios
Other:30 minutes of previously unreleased sketches

5 out of 5 stars Excellent.......2007-02-12

3 out of 5 stars Poor quality print but excellent early Benny.......2006-07-12


This DVD contains exerpts from Benny Hill's show which ran on the BBC from the mid fities until he switched to Thames Television in 1969. The quality of the shows in black and white is much cruder than the post 1969 shows. More importantly, many of the skits have been redone in the Thames years.

Therefore, if you have already purchased the expensive Thames DVD sets, don't bother with this. If not, then the much cheaper cost of this DVD makes it worthwhile.

5 out of 5 stars Really good.......2006-07-10

This has really old clips and it is fun to see him so young.

5 out of 5 stars telly as it used to be!.......2005-09-11

I have always been a big fan of Benny Hill. Sheesh nonsense, but there are time when you need to laugh at silly stuff. These are the very early Hill work, most Yanks have never seen, culled from the Benny Hill Show which ran on Brit telly from 1955-1968.
The quality reflects this, but hey, all shows of this period will. In a way, it add that "time capsule" feel.

The jokes are corny, the skits sublime. For anyone who is a BH fan this is a must!
