Complete & Unadulterated. Features: DVD 8 side-splitters from 1986-1989 on 3 discs.Classic Thames Studio episodes never broadcast full-length in the US. The first American release as Benny intended: in uncut, hour-long glory. Loose the reigns of reason, release your inner nutter, and submit to the gut-splitting antics of Britain's cheekiest madman (and possibly its maddest cheek-man). Benny Hill was the schoolboy who never grew up, the comic genius who never forgot that funny is supposed to be fun. This smashing DVD collection includes eight rollicking episodes of knowing, unapologetic lunacy - the very apex of low humor - along with bonus features to satisfy die-hard fans. The three-disc set features classic sketches like "The Crook Report" and "The Halitosis Kid" as well as favorite characters like Fred Scuttle and Lana and her Performing Men. Don't worry, the Hill's Angels are everywhere. The Hill's Angels Years 6 is the grand finale of Hill's funniest years. Keep your thumb on Rewind, you're not going to want to miss a moment! "Now, more than ever, we need a Benny Hill revival." Bill Gibron, DVD Verdict "...the funniest man in the history of British comedy..." Phil Hall, Film Threat "Quality, as with the previous set, is exceptional...Well done on all accounts." Wade Major, Box Office Magazine
Editor's Note

His television shows revolved around the havoc he created as he chased after scantily clad women, making mischief wherever he went. This release features some of his rarely seen earlier works, with episodes culled from the 1986-1989 run of the show.
