BENNY HILL (TV)
Summary
One in this British comedy series starring Benny Hill, comprised of burlesque routines, blackout skits, sight gags, and sketches, and featuring musical interludes by the scantily-clad Hill's Angels. Highlights of this program include the following: "Paradise Island", which focuses on the shenanigans of a group of lecherous men at a beach resort; a mock epic which chronicles the state of war between meter maids and street sweepers; and "The Monte Carbolic Show," a parody of variety revues. (This program was edited into half-hour segments for syndication in the U.S. beginning in 1979.)
