For nearly four decades Benny Hill reigned supreme as the king of bawdy humour on British television. Of his body of work, it is the shows that he did for Thames television in the 1970's for which he is best remembered, with their combination of farce, risque jokes and beautiful ladies. It is these shows that made him a global superstar - topping the ratings in the US also. With his 'three stooges': Henry McGee, Bob Todd and Jack Wright, Benny Hill produced a handful of 'specials' every year - all of which were critically acclaimed ratings toppers.
This fantastic compendium brings together each of the annuals through out the '70's and is a must for any hardened fan of the great man.
Loved this series when I was growing up, it really had me in stitches. Never missed and episode. I was really a big fan of Benny Hill!!!!
