First episode with the Hill's Angels
Bob Todd returns after a nine episode absence.
The opening quickie features a wife (Pat Ashton) telling her husband (Benny Hill) about the previous men in her life.
- The HBO DVD set called this Quickie "The Other Men."
The second quickie for the episode features Benny as a milk man trying to fool around with one of his customers played by Pat Ashton.
- This was remade from one of the Look #7 quickies of December 23, 1970, with Trisha Noble in the role played in this version by Ashton.
The car Sue Upton almost wins in the Sale of the Century looks like the same one that chases Benny in the Charlene's Angels sketch.
"Charlene's Angels" is a spoof of the American 70s crime drama "Charlie's Angels." Benny also spoofed it as "Archie's Angels" in Benny Hill: Down Under.
During the filming of Charlene's Angels, Sue Upton plays a character whose halter top fires bullets. Apparently, someone used too much gun powder in the gag because she was seriously burned when the powder was activated.
Selected sketches from this episode appear in the "One Night Video Stand" and "Home Video Drive In" VHS tapes from HBO Home Video.
