Mild and tame When I was a perverted kid, I used to stay up late to watch Benny Hill on PBS. Once in a while I'd be amused at the skits, but I'd just sit there like a compulsive gambler waiting for the cherries to line up. Around the 1980's the Hills Angels became a kid's dream come true with women in skimpy outfits, gyrating like strippers. If you're looking for this, this DVD set has them, but it seems to miss the best and most skimpy outfits, namely the body stockings showing everything on top except what the pasties covered. I have this on an old VHS covering 1985 but for some reason, it's not included on this DVD which sux since according to the other reviews, this was the most bawdy era. For a kid growing up in the 80's where you didn't have Internet porn, this was heaven. Sure beat the Sears catalog of women in large bras. As for the humor, it's generally lame with a lot of silly sight gags. For a seven year old it may be funny, but then you couldn't show Hills Angels to seven year olds. Monty Python was in a whole different league and that's where I got my fill for irreverent, outlandish humor. I also remember Bizarre in the 80's which every once in a while had a topless woman (yes, on broadcast, network TV). Amazon sells those DVD's too.
Where did they fly to? Love Benny Hill--but am still looking for a recording of Angels that doesn't require fast forwarding to get to the good stuff. Mislabeled package.
The raunchiest set of them all The 1983 episodes on this set are easily the dirtiest of the whole series, due almost entirely to "Mahala"(couldn't get her actual name from the credits, but she's the one who closely resembles porn actress Tracey Adams). I suspect she was an actual exotic dancer as she actually whips out the twins and the booty, something the other Hill's Angels didn't do much. If you don't remember that from the original US syndication, that's because the eps got heavily censored(my local affiliate occasionally forgot to do that...). These are also the last shows to feature Jackie Wright as a regular. Benny had no head to smack afterwards. Never was the same after that...
Top Stuff yeah great stuff. I watched benny hill as a kid growing up and thought he the show was very funny then and many years down the track now I still find him funny. If your a benny hill fan from way back then this dvd is a must and even if your not or never been a benny hill fan then try it just the same I think you be very happy with this product. You simply cant go wrong with benny hill show dvd on a saturday night and a few drinks or maybe even invite a few friends over as well. He'll bring many laughs to your evening and make it well enjoyable.
Benny Hill Revisited We have always enjoyed the humor and talent of this performer and also the talents and beauty of his "Angels" It was nice to know that this set of shows was available to us to purchase. Some we had never seen before.
