| Hi, I really like Benny Hill, and sorry for not writing a review... I just want to know if this DVD has subtitles...? I speak fluent English but I understand just the 65% of the jokes. I used to watch it in Spanish when the show was broadcasted in Mexico. If you are native English I recommend any of his shows, if you are not, then find out if it is subtitled so you wont miss the fun. PLEASE, DOES ANYONE KNOW? Thanks a lot! |

This is probably the best of the Benny Hill sets, as the sketches/skits seem to be the most consistently funny during this time period ('78-'81).
Of course, if you're a die-hard Hill fan you'll end up getting the other boxsets which all have their great moments.
The packaging A&E did for these sets is immaculate and the menus are very user-friendly when you want to skip around to different skits in a program.
Overall, I give this four stars due to the dated musical numbers which I usually just fast-forward through. Nonetheless, the comedy itself remains timeless and undiluted.

| Kudos' to British television and Benny Hill for pushing the naughty button.Set four offers more cheeky British humor and the beautiful hill's angels.The video transfers are well done and the audio is clean & crisp.Once again a&e home video has done a fantastic job with this set. British audiences have always known what comedic talent they had in Benny Hill, but i really never appreciated his brand of humor until now.With the way everything has to be politically correct, many of the Benny Hill sketches wouldn't make it to air on regular television today. I've really enjoyed every minute of this hilarious three disc set. |

| Few comics can compare with the genius of Benny Hill. Not only does he star in his productions, he writes, directs and song writes the show contents....He's truly a one of a kind. |

| There wil only be one Benny Hill. His sort of comedy will always be very popular and a good laugh however many times you watch it.Nice to see old favourites and some sketches you may have forgotten. A great colection of his shows and not forgetting the beautiful "Hills Angels." Highly recommended. |

As a Brit who followed Benny's great TV shows in the 1970s and 1980s, it pains me to see how the Great Man is so poorly treated by the country that he brought so much laughter to.
No reruns on TV's UK Gold... no anniversary tributes... no specials celebrating his fantastic humour... nothing. Not even this DVD set, which is only available in the USA! It's as if the whole establishment is ashamed of him.
And why? Because he had a few scantily-clad girls in his shows.
Quite why this is sneered at with such venom by today's politically correct critics is beyond me - to me it's no worse than any of the vile so-called humour peddled by the likes of Julian Clary, Graham Norton, Ben Elton, Eddie Izzard and a whole host of current 'right on' so-called comedians, who aren't fit to lick Benny's boots.
There's nothing wrong with a bit of wholesome heterosexual titillation - in fact, in this day and age it's positively refreshing.
So a huge thank you to A&E from one very grateful Brit for releasing every one of the Great Man's shows, in full, unedited, and with no adverts either! Absolutely fantastic top drawer laugh-out-loud comedy, delivered with that famous cheeky twinkle in Benny's eye. A gold-topped DVD set!

I grew up watching these shows having always been a fan of British humor. Monty Python shows and films are still some of my favorite. Benny's humor is a bit racey but now that we've gotten to the "Hill's Angels" years, it's interesting to see the documentary from many former "Angels" and hear there take on the show and it's critics. They felt the men came out looking stupid; or someway or another, were the loosers.
Critics were always harsh on this style of "sexist" humor but I feel it's far more innocent than some of the trash out there today, and I'm not talking about porn or cable shows but regular TV. Tell me Desperate Housewives or I'll bet many soap-operas aren't far worse than any cheeky humor from this kind, baby-faced British treasure.
Benny still makes me laugh...
