January 25th as the street date for this 3-DVD set, which runs about 500 minutes in length. Price is $49.95 SRP. Here's the box art, followed by a description of the set plus a list of the extras that A&E wants to include:
Benny Hill - Britain's baron of bawdy buffoonery - bursts into full
bloom in this boisterous collection from his golden fan-favorite era, The Thames Years! Wildly popular all over the globe thanks to his trademark smirk and affinity for comic naughtiness, Benny rejuvenated the sketch-variety genre with his multi-award-winning THE BENNY HILL SHOW.
Satirizing everything under the sun, but sanitizing nothing, Benny and his crackerjack team of entertainers invented a squadron of crazy caricatures: lovable imbecile Fred Scuttle, avant-garde French filmmaker Pierre De Terre, and the verbally challenged Mr. Chow Mein. Backed by Benny's half-dressed flock of frisky foxes, THE BENNY HILL SHOW continues to stand the test of time by making the world laugh itself silly.
THE NAUGHTY EARLY YEARS: SET TWO features all 10 riotous episodes from 1972-1974.
Extras planned for this release (subject to change):
- Eddie in August
- Benny Hill's Cheeky Challenge Trivia Game
- "Liner Notes" DVD Insert Booklet
Stay tuned, and we'll let you know about any updates that might happen with this release.
