I certainly appreciate your effort. Humor is at the present time something we all need to be reminded of! Thank you.

I’ve looked at several channels and yours seems to be the only one dedicated to Benny Hill. I do thank you and I will be watching, and if you can find more anything other than the one that does the thing in Spanish with the one third screen, bullshit I’ll go over, thanks Dave Dave.

Benny is one of the only people that can make me really laugh. He was very funny, charming, lovely, and brilliant. I wish I could have met him.

No politics, violence or foul language. Just cheeky humour that most enjoyed.

Would be grateful for anything from the 1960`s thank you! Especially keen to find footage featuring Elaine Taylor(who later Christopher Plummer`s wife).

Always loved his slapstick humour, but then he was my Nan's cousin so I guess I might be biased! He was a lovely bloke though, I still miss the old fart!

Is it my imagination, or was the format of his 1965-68 BBC shows pretty much nicked from Jackie Gleason's "American Scene Magazine," a 1963-64 episode of which was entered into, and won the Bronze Rose at, the 1964 Montreux Festival? The elements seemed to check: sustained sketches interspersed with quickie blackouts (produced at different recording sessions), a gallery of recurring characters interspersed with pulchritude (in Gleason's case, The June Taylor Dancers and the Glea-Girls), women introducing sketches from behind a desk (one of many instances how Benny was more progressive and forward-looking if compared to after Dennis Kirkland took over as producer-director in 1979, and especially after the introduction of Hill's Angels; another being when Nicole Shelby, on-camera, introduced his third Thames special [in airing order; second in production order]) . . . the only difference being that Gleason did not employ filmed outdoor location shooting, unlike HIll.

The Benny Hill Fan Consortium
If anyone is interested, coming soon is a semi complete Benny Hill Show from 1965! it's his BBC Montreux Awards entry, I think it's still missing about ten minutes though, but I have 25 minute of it. Sadly it's a french dub and one of the sketches has only appeared in pieces in documentaries, so one sketch will have some of the audio dubbed in french. Four out the 5 sketches have already appeared on the BBC Lost Years DVD, and I thought of maybe using those to re-construct it, but I wish to keep it authentic as possible.
If anyone's wondering why my last upload has dissapeared, it's because it was copyright striked from the BBC for the clips taken from The Goodies and The Two Ronnies, I will try and re-compile and re-upload it in due course (probably with the image reversed).
