The very thought of either a wing or non-wing slot racer in any type of lingerie is enough to send shivers down my spine. I was just watching one of those infomercials on the making of the 'Girls Gone Wild' videos, and suddenly after reading your post, you've managed to spoil the mood with flashes of images of hairy old farts in XXXX sized underwear, racing slot cars.
Volume 1
(Episodes 1-4)
Jump to an Episode:1234
This is the second collection of programs from the Benny Hill Show that A&E have released. This time you'll see ten programs spread over three DVD's, as opposed to the 11 that covered the years 1969-1971 in the first set. These ten programs are from 1972-1974 and I have made the reviews fairly short for each program with simple descriptions and comments for each sketch. You'll find the reviews divided into three pages, one for each Volume of this set. I've also taken the liberty to mention a few highlights at the beginning of each review. Look for technical details and closing comments at the end of page three, as well as a review of the bonus features. You'll find the original Episode number in brackets at the beginning of each review. Enjoy.
