The genius- the EARLY years,
By BBC FAN "Big bbc fan" (N.Y. United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Benny Hill: The Lost Years (DVD)
What great stuff. There are 3 approx. 1 hr sets of skits, taken from the original BBC Benny Hill show which ran from 1955-1968. All eps are in B&W, with some VERY noticeable noise and a sqiggle or 2. Does it take away from the enjoyment of the DVD? HELL NO! Remember people, this was a tv variety show from the 50's to mid-late60's. Not too many studios kept up their libraries of past shows, especially with the BBC, since Benny left them at the height of his popularity to join Thames tv. Buy this. It's nostalgic, funny and a rollicking good time.

telly as it used to be!,
This review is from: Benny Hill: The Lost Years (DVD)
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!

Poor quality print but excellent early Benny,
This review is from: Benny Hill: The Lost Years (DVD)
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, often better too as Benny polished the scripts.
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.
