Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not the best bits but still funny
Review: There really is no such thing as "bad" Benny Hill skits, but his earlier skits are far superior to what's on this DVD. A few gems such as the hospital sketch and "throw open your window" are scattered between other material that you can either take or leave. The transfer from Anchor Bay is excellent, and though lacking in bonus materials it's a decent disc for the price.

Aficionados of the naughty ol' man will enjoy this disc, but newcomers to Benny Hill may want to catch re-runs on PBS before buying this. It's not the Best of Benny Hill, it's merely good.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Hilarious content, but terrible transfer
Review: This DVD from Anchor Bay is somewhat of an aberation from their usual quality product. The picture is on a level with a worn VHS tape. Maybe this is as good as the source material gets, but I tend to doubt it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Benny Hill 1974
Review: Very good compilation of Bennys stuff from '69? to '74. Don't expect too much from the Dance Crowd here; more of the "skits-parodys" kind of comedy; IE "Mad magazine & National lampoon" on video. A lot of campy stuff; mostly "British" humor, but sometimes way more funny (if you "get it")than American comedy.
