Two more.

The first one in the video (last screen shot), I remember very well - I saw it in late 70s on regular TV (WOR) in NY. I couldn't believe it, but it was not ever repeated. Thanks for validatingmy memory.

Having spotted this Benny Hill thread some time ago, I came across this video a couple of weeks ago that may be of interest to some on here. It's a dance number from one of Benny's shows, but doesn't actually include the great man in this sketch. Instead it has a chap at a desk while four girls (Claire Lutter, Libby Roberts, Teresa Lucas & Jane Eve in seating order) look fed up before getting up, and removing their coats to reveal 'nude' costumes to dance, while the chap sings about "Dancing in the nude." The costumes are great, but even if the girls don't catch your attention (in which case, what are you doing here?), then the song is brilliant!

Apparently The Love Machine only had about 3 appearances on The Benny Hill Show, so here is the other one that I could find. Here it actually has the man himself introducing the same girls as before for their number, which involves stripping off to dance in thong like swimming costumes. Have no idea what the tune is they are dancing to, but the set has a rather 'smoky' effect to it - hence it's title. Anyway, enjoy.

With a recent rerun after many years off screen - albeit with scenes edited out from TV - I thought I'd upload a few of the more risqué Benny Hill moments that they cut out of the TV showing. This video has been uploaded before, but I thought I'd slow down the more revealing sequence for you. It involves the scene where Jackie Wright - on holiday in Skegness - decides to get changed in the outdoor cubicle, only to slam the door and see the doors of the other cubicles drop off, revealing the four girls occupying them all in a state of undress. The girls in order from left to right are Cheryl Gilham, Laraine Humphrys, Sue Bond and Helli Louise. It's the earliest Benny Hill sketch from The Benny Hill Show on ITV that has nudity in it, and as well as the bare bottoms of Cheryl and Sue on show, there is a brief topless shot of Helli Louise too!

This sexy little musical number comes from Series 4, Episode 4 of The Benny Hill Show from 1973, and sees the man himself performing with various musical instruments as Lee Gibson performs the song "Mad About You" in a blue cloak, before removing it to reveal a VERY skimpy costume she's barely wearing underneath. Have also included a pic of how Miss Gibson looks clothed (minus her feathers, of course...). Enjoy.

This clip comes from series 5 and is a sketch about Britain planning to dig a official tunnel to France - this some 13 years before they actually started in 1986 in real life. Then again, they may just of had Fred Scuttle (aka Benny Hill) on the job all those years back, which may of explained why it took so long. Anyway, the sketch follows Fred and his band of workmen digging away, all the while being distracted by the various pretty ladies sunbathing, showering or just wandering about at the beach where they are digging. At one point, Jackie Wright accidently tunnels up underneath a changing cubicle containing Claire Russell, wearing only a towel covering herself, who kicks him out. Fred goes over to apologize, and offers his hand to shake, but as soon as she does so, the towel covering her drops over, giving us a brief flash of her boobs. I've slowed it down so you can appreciate the (unintentional) nude slip, as with a lot of Benny's work, it is speeded up for more comedic effect. It's also followed by Jackie Wright being chased around by a girl (Malou Cartwright?) attached to a drill in just her bikini. I've also included a better profile pic of Claire Russell for you to see what she looks like clothed.

I was shocked to learn that Benny Hill is now considered to be the anti-christ, and there's public outrage whenever a rerun of his show airs. So, they've basically banned Benny Hill. What's next, Bugs Bunny cartoons? Oh wait, episodes of that have already been banned. The Honeymooners isn't shown anymore, because it promotes violence towards women (I'm not kidding). Even Sesame Street and the Muppet Show have content disclaimers on them! People are f*cking insane, these days.
