You may want to try the "Used" section of UK Amazon to try to get a copy. Both of those bits (I recall their originating from the March 12, 1986 edition) I seem to remember were in that video. |

One of the songs, I think, was Girls Girls. The other was Captain Benny. I like to know if my show is out on DVD or Video here in the UK? |

One was in makeup and we ended up singing Thank Heavens For Little Girls him as a french guy and me as an indian, the other was over coffee and we were talking about our favorite foods. I left Thames in 1987 and I'm now at CBC Television in Toronto, Canada. |

That video sometimes goes for £20 on E Bay but I have heard that The Video Show may come to DVD. Were there any Hill's Angels dance number that were cut from the show. By the way, The Love Machine years is out on DVD in the UK now on the Benny Hill Annuals 76 & 77. |

Jane joined a while before me. David was right about 'Walk on the Wild Side' but also we had the 'Supernature' number in the Love Machine' live act. |

I did not stop dancing in the 89 shows I just did a little less because I was doing a lot more sketches. Thank you very much for the video info, thats one I will have to track down. You are quite right about 'Walk on the Wild Side'. Actually that number was performed by both Love Machine and Hot Gossip in our live acts before being on Kenny's show. |

Was Sue included in the Love Machine get-together? She'd been a "Love Machinist" before their debut on TBHS. In any case, I hope they're all well, happy, and keeping busy, especially Terry. I also hope you'd like to do an email interview with Shawn. |

I have never seen it.Funny thing Benny recorded it for me as I didnt have a VHS recorder at the time. The sad thing is he always promised to let me see it but as time went on we forgot. |

Two for you, if I may: 1) If you don't mind my asking, what are you up to these days? A few years ago, Sue told me that she thought you ran a jewelry shop and taught keep-fit lessons on the side - is that right? 2) Have you heard anything lately about (and what happened to) Terry, from Love Machine - and what was her last name? Sue told me she was "Terry Roberts" but she was called "Terry Lucas" in one sketch. |

What started as some quick internet surfing turned into being up most of the night reading throught all the great info and memories. As a 31 year old, here in The United States, I too grew up on Benny Hill (albeit on the edited for American audiences versions). I do remember feeling a real sadness when I read that he had died, as well as a slight anger that his passing got very little attention here. Sad to see that Mr. McGee has also just left us. I agree with someone else's post, that the "Old Guard" is leaving us. Benny's legacy, if nothing else will be evidence that not long ago, men could be men. Keep up the good work. Your site has been added to my favorites. |

When he was sacked (for the heinous crime of finding women attractive!!!) we all lost something special - The world seems to have gone slowly downhill since Benny (and many of his collegues) where hounded from our screens. Yes it is an over-simplification, but I just don't see the joy for life in comedy today - Thanks for keeping this wonderful man's legacy alive for us. We've just lost Henry McGee too (Who I met once; What a nice bloke!)- The "old guard" is slowly fading and it's vital we remember them all. |

I have all 4 DVD sets plus a few extras and my sides hurt from all the laughter, and my eyes are red from the tears thinking about those who are no longer with us.

Sue identified her to me as Terry Roberts, but it's thought she might have been Terry Lucas. Thanks in advance! |

I never thought they would get around to the glorious days of the 70s and early 80s ... But they did eventually. We were treated to Legs & Co., Pan's People, Hot Gossip, and then, right at the end, they started to talk about Hill's Angels being the sexiest of them all .... going on to say that as such, they couldn't show them as there would be "Rioting in the Streets." I was horrified, but not surprised. Britain is a land void of fun at the moment - political correctness is at the gallop. Never let this site disappear - an entire British generation has nowhere else to turn for a fix of Benny and Hill's Angelica. Richard T. |

In looking here, and researching elsewhere, I am increasingly worried that I may never see the unsensored version of the wild wild west routine (lady godiva). Does it exist on any available release? The stills are so tantalising in the gallery here... The only versions I can find have the whole poncho taking off bit missing. Any suggestions would be very much apreciated. Sorry Virginia; I have been searching on line for Benny's poems and lyrics to no avail. I guess it is up to someone to transcribe them eventually. Richard Tomes |

Is there anyone out there who could help me please Or is there somewhere I can find it on the net. Like "Fufan" --these poems are classics and should be published somewhere, only I don't know where to find them. Thank you |

And I wish Sue& her kiddies and Louise and all the other Girls of Hill's Angels a Very Merry Christmas and God bless. God Save the Queen and George Bush, Jerry Watkins |
