Editorial Reviews

The most recognizable British comedian on the planet is back on DVD by riotous demand!

Travel back to the freewheeling ‘70s and rejoice as Benny perfects his risqué humor and bawdy slapstick in this third set of complete episodes from The Benny Hill Show. The landmark THE NAUGHTY EARLY YEARS: SET THREE features all ten original episodes from 1975 through 1977, including the fan-favorite "Beach of Waikiki" ballad and "The Reluctant Bridegroom" skit that took the sketch-variety show to lofty new heights.

Never broadcast in full-length form in the U.S., the only way to see these vintage Thames episodes in their entirety is through this DVD collection.DVD Features: Eddie in August, The Benny Hill Cheeky Challenge Trivia Quiz #3; Interactive Menus; Scene Selection

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of the best, July 31, 2005

This review is from: Benny Hill Complete and Unadulterated - The Naughty Early Years, Set Three (1975-1977) (DVD)

This 3rd Benny Hill set distributed by A&E Home Video is very likely the best of the "The Naughty Early Years" series. Not only are some of the skits included in this set are the most remembered (and most aired on American TV in the late 70s/early 80s), but there is plenty of material that has never been shown stateside.

Many of my personal favorites are here: "Mastermind", "Sale Of The Half Century", "Bionic Baby", "Husky and Starch", "Murder On The Oregon Express", "Supersonic", "The Bamboo Curtin", "Girls Girls Girls", "Cabaret With Diana Darvey (You are a bit of twits)", "Deep In My Heart in TV Widescreen" and "The Family". (You might not recognize the name of these skits - but trust me, you have seen them and have laughed).

Of course, any Benny Hill set would not be complete without the commercial bloopers, the "1 liner jokes" on the dance floor, and Fred Scuttle. They are all here.

What is most surprising is how the unedited 50 minute shows were cut and chopped up for the American broadcast 30 minute timeslot. Some of the 2-3 minute skits were actully part of an entire 10 minute segment, so people who are looking for their personal favorites might not realize they are included in this set. Its a great way to see the entire episode the way it was intended.

Episode 7 (from disk #2 on this set) is one of the funniest and greatest 50 minute episodes I think Benny and clan have ever done. Also, the DVD transfer is first rate. This is the set to own (if not all 3).

5.0 out of 5 stars It's the Benny Hill Show, December 11, 2005

This review is from: Benny Hill Complete and Unadulterated - The Naughty Early Years, Set Three (1975-1977) (DVD)

This 3rd installment of the Benny Hill Show Complete and Unadulterated The Naughty Years Dvd set has more of Benny's humour and classic charaters imbecile lovable Fred Scuttle,verbally challenged Chinese Chow Mein and the commercial bloppers.The new skits parodies American Tv series such Columbo,Starky & Hutch,Ironside,McCloud,Bionic Woman,The Six Million Dollar Man,Kojak and the British classic Crossroads.

The gang is at its best and even Jackie Wright slaps Benny's head in one sketch.Also talented British voice Eddie Buchanan joins the show and the lovely Diana Darvey whose innuendo was too much sexy for the show.

Set 4 is due to hit the streets next month.I'll be wait to see Hill's Angels.

If you like Benny, this collection is for you.. Especially, if one is an American, as there are several extended skits, and productions that never made it to the States...

Your sides will be hurting, be warned.... It is too funny...!
