A Special Thanks must go to contributing editor William Brown for submitting these photos and information on each of these actors / actresses. Many of them were regulars and some were actually guest stars. I have added links to the Internet Movie Database where I could find them. Hope you can find many of those stars you've been wondering about and maybe a few you hadn't thought of. If you don't find what you are looking for, fear not. This section will continue to expand. Thanks again to William Brown, who wrote all of the information. I have also taken this section and put all of the entries in alphabetical order. If you are looking for someone specific, simply place your cursor on the links on the right hand side of the page. A caption will pop up letting you know which names that link will take you to. Enjoy!

IMDB Entry

This appears to be Pete Morgan, as seen in (top) the "A Feast at the Beach" sketch from the March 23, 1977 TBHS edition, which was his only credited appearance. He was also seen in the opening moments of the "Girls, Girls, Girls" sketch (bottom), was amongst the instrumentalists in the Milk Marketing Board ("At The Streaker's Ball") number, and may have also been in the "Show Jumping" bit as one of the dancers at the end.

A headshot of child actor Richard Mottau which was published in late 1960's editions of The Spotlight (London). He appeared in Mr. Hill's very last BBC special which aired on Dec. 26, 1968, and played a school boy in "The Short Happy Life of Maurice Dribble" sketch from the second Thames TBHS of Dec. 25, 1969 (unfortunately, there was no suitable shot of him from that sketch that could be used here). His other credits through the 1970's included guest appearances on such shows as Please Sir! and The Sweeney.

She is the daughter of Aimi MacDonald, a popular actress from the 1960's onwards whose credits include the 1967 TV series At Last the 1948 Show (one of several Monty Python prototypes), the final year of the 1976-1984 series Rentaghost, and many game shows of the era.

Though you can't see behind the hat, sunglasses and moustache, this was Mr. Hill's stand-in during the show's last years, Mike Mulloy. This was from his first credited appearance on Jan. 13, 1988. Another photo from "The Crook Report" (bottom).

Lindsay Neil

Jumping ahead to 1984, and seen here is Lindsay Neil, one of the Hill's Angels who came to the scene after ex-Love Machinist Libby Roberts took over the choreographer's reins - and the outfits became more conservatized. A closeup from the April 25, 1984 "Workout", (bottom).


Clovissa Newcombe

This vidcap was from the time he played a male Playboy bunny in the "Midnight in Soho" sketch.


Rona Newton-John

Rona Newton-John

Rona Newton-John

IMDB Entry

Rona Newton-John (yes, she's Olivia's sister). Appeared uncredited in some visual-based "Look #7" gags on the Oct. 28, 1970 show; but was listed amongst the cast of the 1974 film compilation The Best of Benny Hill (top). She was also the girl who forgot her "bloody lines" in the famed Shakespeare blooper of the same show (bottom).


Trisha Noble

Trisha Noble (b.1944)

IMDB Entry

Trisha Noble appeared on one of the B&W shows and even sang "Leaving On A Jet Plane". She just starred in the recently-released Star Wars film "Revenge of the Sith", where she played 'Jobal Naberrie.' To the best of my knowledge, this veteran Australian entertainer (whose previous TBHS appearance, prior to 12/23/70, was in BBC days on Jan. 8, 1966, when she was known as Patsy Ann Noble) is one of only two TBHS related performers to have also been in Star Wars movies (the other being the body of Darth Vader in the first three released pics, David Prowse, who was the muscleman in "Ye Olde Wishing Well" sketch of the very first Thames edition from Nov. 19, 1969).


Brian Nolan

Brian Nolan

Brian Nolan

IMDB Entry

Two pics of Brian Nolan: (top) from a headshot published in the Spring 1970 edition of The Spotlight, and (bottom) in a screencap from the Feb. 24, 1971 B&W version of the "Undercover Sanitary Inspector" sketch. The 6' tall Mr. Nolan, who appeared frequently on TBHS from c.1970 to 1974 (his last appearance was on the same show on which Nicholas Parsons and Jim Tyson also made their final series appearances), usually played guards and/or police officers. Also appeared on some other TV shows of the era, such as Z Cars, Upstairs, Downstairs, and the Ripping Yarns episode "Across The Andes By Frog."
