The Benny Hill Show

Page 1 (Episodes 1 - 11)

The Benny Hill Show was not a weekly series, but was aired as specials several times a year. For syndication, all of these specials were put together as thirty minute shows. This page contains the sketches as they originally appeared on The Benny Hill Show from 1969-1971. You can also spot the Production Code Numbers and Recording Dates in the headings for the shows. Special Thanks to William Brown. The breaks for these episode were contributed by our associate contributor, David Hawkins, based on the Region 2 DVD Releases. We can now see how the shows were aired with their commercial spots. Thanks, David!
