  • LOL! "Oh yes you dropped the grapefruit juice didn't you?"

    "YES And you moved the glass didn't you?"! LOL! FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!

  • @tony2957 Forget "Polly"! Benny Hill Show has lots more retty girls than this show!

  • Benny Hill considered funnier than Monty Python by two TV stations ---I agree!

  • good god polly was one sexy chick

  • 13 jerries didn't like

  • Gotta love polly, but basil is always best

  • Cleese and Polly (Connie Booth) were married at the time and the two cowrote the scripts to all the Fawlty towers episodes.

  • @Bestmanme08 Benny Hill was an innovator. Unfortunately he didn't adapt to changing times. But he was the first in Britain to use effects to show himself on screen twice. Apparently it resulted in hundreds of calls to the police, some people panicked. What I remember most about benny hill was some of his very insightful commentary on human nature. The "Benny hill wishing well" sketch being a good example.

  • I thought Polly was supposed to be Irish, still I'm glad to have closure on the accent question.
