Notes by William Brown

Network Video has had a different schedule of releases for Mr. Hill's show on Region 2 DVD. They spotlight one year, rather than a concerted period as A&E in the U.S. has done. And they show the adcaps and VT clocks (with the pertinent VTR numbers) that are all taken out on the U.S. DVD sets; hence, the times listed are a minute or so longer than as represented on the A&E sets. I am noting this for the British Benny fans who frequent the "Benny's Place" site.

Benny Hill Double Helpings (2002)

Benny Hill Double Helpings

[p;

Studio: Prism Leisure PTDVD8124
Aspect Ratio: 4:3 Full Screen
1 Disc
Running Time: 145 Minutes
Region: 0 (Pal)
Release Date: Ocober 10, 2002
Notes: Two complations, including The Crazy World of Benny Hill and Benny Hill's Greatest Hits. However, Greatest Hits only covers the years 1982 & 1984-1989 and most of the sketches are cut down, maybe for timing. The Crazy World of Benny Hill is a 55 minute compilaton of the best of the 1986 shows.
Highlights: The Lover (1985), The Traffic Warden and the Street Cleaner (1982), Clown Strip, Wife Swap (1986), Stupid Cupid (1984) & Benitos, Circa 1890 (1985).

Benny Hill's World, New York (2003)

Benny Hill's World, New York DVD

Studio: DD Home Entertainment DD07048
Aspect Ratio: 4:3 Full screen
Format: Pal
Sound: Stereo
Running Time: 59 Minutes
Release Date: November 3, 2003
Notes: In the UK we saw this program as two half-hour compilations in 1994 as "Benny Hill Unseen". Those two shows had three sketches that are not included in this DVD. There are also two sketches on this disc which were not included in the two TV compilations. It would have been nice to include sketches that were not used in the New York show as an extra feature.

DVD clips include the "New York Rap" video, plus Hill performing "Unlucky Luke" among others. None of the outtakes come from The Benny Hill Show.
