who can tell me the name of the man at the 01:11?!pls

[FilmFan1982]

@bogdan19g Benny Hill. I had to delete his clips from this because of copyright.

@FilmFan1982 I've already watched the 1960s and 50s and was wondering what happened to Benny Hill.

[FilmFan1982]

@Avillageidiot59 I had to edit out his bits or the video would've been blocked due to copyright.

Was there a 1930's in this series?

[FilmFan1982]

@rbbonotto No this is all what was available in the boxset.

en esos tiempos el cine era un verdadero arte, ahora las películas apestan, solo porque tiene 3d ya es buen cine.

@FilmFan1982

I figured there had to be a reason. Without Benny Hill there's a huge gap.

Nevertheless I enjoyed all three series. They brought back a lot of fond memories (especially Mr. Pastry!).

.

Mind you there are others missing: Bill & Ben the Flowerpot Men.

The Bumblies.
