What Season 1 of The Benny Hill Show

The first season of The Benny Hill Show features four episodes made up of sketches that follow one another. Benny Hill, the show's creator, stars in each segment and hosts the show on camera. His pieces combine slapstick, mime, parody and double entendres. Henry McGee, Bob Todd, Nicholas Parsons, Jackie Wright and Patricia Hayes appear alongside him. The episodes carry titles such as "The European Song Contest" or "Is This Your Life?" The comedian sets the pace of each broadcast, from beginning to end.
