	BBC - Comedy Guide - The Benny Hill Show
		Hill's unusual twist was that rather than him chasing them, the girls chased him, and every programme ended with an extended, speeded-up sequence - set to corny but unforgettable music - in which the posse became longer and longer.
		A selection of the best Thames TV sketches from 1969 to 1973 was released as a theatrically distributed movie, The Best Of Benny Hill, in 1974 (director/producer John Robins), and people paid in their droves to see it on the big screen.
		That it did, and that Americans embraced Hill in such an all-encompassing fashion, owes much to his skill as a mime artist - many of his best sketches were without dialogue - and also to the shock factor generated by the more risqué material at a time when, generally, US TV was much more tame.

	Benny Hill: The Early Naughty Years - Complete and Unadulterated (Volume 3) \| PopMatters Television Review
		Hill occasionally donned a dopey red fright wig and short pants to play a kind of universal shmoe (of various names) who always got his comeuppance.
		Joining Hill was an exceptional cast of character actors who often upstaged him by playing "straight." Though Henry McGee looked inane when he tried to match Hill joke for joke, as a reporter haranguing Hill, his timing was perfect.
		Hill adored the concept of humor without words, and it was the foundation for his most famous bit, the "Yakety Sax"-style fast motion chase where the comedian played the fox to the rest of the company's clamoring hounds.

	IGN: Benny Hill: The Naughty Early Years, Complete & Unadulterated - Set Four Review
		Making their debut in these episodes were the Hill's Angels; a group of Benny's female costars who knew how to move around in leotards like nobody's business.
		Hill's character looks "up" to the TV above him and notices the Hill's Angels dancing around, so he blows upwards in order to cause their skirts to flutter.
		While the episodes on this set don't sizzle with the wit and energy they had during the '70s, they still remind you that puns, women in their underwear, and chase sequences, set to that classic music, are always funny.

	tvdvdreviews.com -- The Benny Hill Show: Complete and Unadulterated - The Naughty Early Years: Set One DVD Review
		For the uninitiated, Hill is a talented performer/writer who combines the moron humor of The Three Stooges, the old-fashioned verbal humor of Abbott and Costello, the physical comedy of silent film comedians, and the novelty-song stylings of Weird Al or early Ray Stevens.
		Hill also performs comedic sketches that would not be out of place on Saturday Night Live.
		Hill also lacks the respect of critics because of the source of his laughs.

	Benny Hill Complete and Unadulterated - The Hill's Angels Years, Set Four (1978-1981) \| PopMatters Television Review
		Perhaps Hill gets away with consistently playing the dirty old man, because he always has an obvious twinkle in his eye.
		Hill's dirty old man is really nothing more than a curious little boy -- albeit in grown up skin and bones -- that simply wants to sneak a peek at some girl's private parts.
		That's because every episode ends with Hill and his cast involved in a speeded up chase scene, which is always choreographed to this same music.

	The Benny Hill Show - Nostalgia Central (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		While many British comedians of the 50s and 60s simply transferred their talents to TV, Benny Hill was the first comic to be purely a product of television He went on to become a British institution.
		Benny was aided by his regular ensemble (hardly an episode went by without Henry McGee and Jack Wright) and the famous Hills Angels (who were without doubt my personal favourites!).
		During the sixties, Benny also appeared in a number of my favourite films: In 1965 he featured as the Fire Chief in Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines, in 1968 he played the Toymaker in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

	Crimson Celluloid :: Resident DVDvil :: Benny Hill: Set 5
		I had been keeping my eyes and ears open for any news that there would one day be a DVD release of “The Benny Hill Show”, and though there had been a couple of compilations out there, it wasn't until about 2 years ago that full volume collections began to be released.
		Extremely satirical in nature, the Benny Hill Show never failed to raise the ire of the ‘powers that be’, but he became a comedy icon to millions and to this day (even years after his passing) is unsurpassed in terms of popularity.
		If you’re not familiar with Hill's Angels, they were the aforementioned bevy of beauties that Benny Hill surrounded himself with in order to make up for any of the skits that fell flat.

	British Government Releases Scandalous Benny Hill Tapes \| The Onion - America's Finest News Source
		Hill, formally denounced by Thatcher and Parliament in 1983, died in 1992 when a pair of oversized inflatable novelty bloomers he was wearing exploded upon contact with a haystack.
		Another highly controversial aspect of the tapes is the frequent appearance of the "Hill's Angels," a chorus line of scantily clad dancers whose alleged gyrations sparked a 1994 U.N. petition for full disclosure of the tapes.
		Hill grabbed women's chests, it would usually be as the result of an accident: Often, he'd do so unaware of the fact that a mannequin he'd been undressing had been switched with a real woman while his back was turned," Fripp said.

	Benny Hill
		Benny Hill was attacked by feminists not because he was insulting women, and not because his programmes demeaned them.
		They hurled the ludicrous accusation that Benny Hill hated women, and that he was promoting a hatred of women - misogyny - to everyone else.
		But, as must be obvious to anyone who has seen his shows, the idea that Benny Hill didn't like women has to be one of the most ridiculous, nonsensical, vindictive and spiteful notions spun in the cause of feminism.

	Review: Benny Hill Complete and Unadulterated
		It was not till 1969 that Benny Hill struck success with the “Benny Hill Show” airing 30 years through 1989 on Thames television (ITV) in the UK.
		In 1989 Thames Television was forced to cancel the series, not too to a lack of popularity (the series was still extremely popular), but rather due to the numerous complaints they received due to the poor “social qualities” that the series had, including but not limited to sexism.
		Benny Hill was one of the most popular British comedians at the time (some would argue of all time).

		Benny Hill was always best at quasi-silent slapstick, so it's no surprise that some of the best stuff on The Best of Benny Hill seems to owe more to the work of Mack Sennett and Fatty Arbuckle than to mainstream TV comedy.
		I am very much hoping that I can get some more Hill programming on DVD from the 1970's, as presented on this DVD because as I said this is but a mere taste of Hill's early era of original and very funny yet risque humor.
		With all the good shows Benny Hill did, it is hard to imagine putting out a DVD with consistantly mediocre material.

	Benny Hill \| Biography (1924-1992)
		Benny Hill's film career, though, has been surprisingly spotty considering his consistent popularity on television through four decades.
		But the nature of his material is sketchy, in all senses of the word, and so it was perhaps not surprising that one of his most popular film outings was a compilation of his TV material: a very rare occurrence even in British film comedy.
		The most famous person to appear as a Hill's Angel was Jane Leeves who later found fame as the character Daphne in the US tv show Frasier.

	The Benny Hill Show
		The Benny Hill Show was a comedy series loaded with classic slapstick (and sometimes sexy, smutty and raunchy) comedy.
		Benny Hill's silent, high-speed chase skits are reminiscent of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton except that instead of being chased by cops, Hill is usually being chased by a bunch of beautiful, well-endowed Blondes.
		Jane Leeves (better known as Daphne Moon on the TV show, "Frasier") was one of Benny Hill's often scantilly-clad Angels.
