BENNY HILL - COMPLETE AND UNADULTERATED: THE NAUGHTY EARLY YEARS, SET ONE (1969-1971)

Details

• Release Year: 1969
• Genre: Comedy
• Plot: Irreverent and undeniably hysterical, The Benny Hill Show pioneered a naughty new direction for the sketch-variety show, one that pushed the envelope of television standards and inspired such contemporaries as Saturday Night Live and MADtv. Still considered a hoot and a half today, Benny Hill and his talented ensemble were unafraid to take a 'tongue-in-cheeky' approach in satirizing society's taboos, from bawdy ballads and priceless pantomimes to dizzying double entendres and slaphappy head slapping.; ; Benny's smirking antics, beautifully supported by his scantily-clad bevy of buxom babes, released a worldwide tidal wave of unrestrained laughter, winning The Benny Hill Show a hill...er, mountain of accolades, including the British Academy's Best Comedy Show Award and two Emmy® nominations!; ; Never broadcast in full-length form in the U.S., the only way to see these vintage Thames episodes of The Benny Hill Show in their entirety is through this DVD collection. THE NAUGHTY EARLY YEARS: SET ONE features all 11 uproarious episodes from 1969-1971, including three rare installments filmed in black-and-white!
