Review: When people think about British comedy they usually think Monty Python. Those boys were all well and good, but lets not forget Benny Hill! The man pioneered the genre of cutting edge sketch comedy that has been copied several times since.
I can remember one of the last episodes of Hill's show, I used to stay up late and watch it on PBS. It was a parody of the 1989 Batman film and it was hilarious. Never did I see such a wild comedian as a kid. Benny would cross-dress and blow the pants off of any other comedy without even breaking a sweat! He was hilarious. This DVD set is essential Benny Hill. It spans his entire career and is a great one-stop-shop to add him to your DVD library.
