Tonight there's a skit involving a little Morris Minor convertible...last week an old MG Magnette!
 
He also had a skit with a Aston Martin DB (5?) convertible.

His old shows come on every night on BBS @7pm here...I'm getting hooked again
 
Very sad that he should have fallen from grace thanks to the PC brigade in England.
He is well know here in France and although the show is dubbed the voice for BH is good. Mind you so much is visual;
Have you had the shows with Hill's Angels?

Tonight it was a Triumph Stag!
 
Tonight it was a Mercedes SL - like my 380SL...had forgotten how neat those European headlights were!
 
White rubber bumper MGB on his show tonight - he painted a map on its hood!

And an orange Mini went by.
 
Tonight it was a black Farina Magnette like mine & a white '59 Impala convertible
 
We don't get the BBC Channel and that bites royally. I did go out and buy a Benny Hill dvd at Christmas. We used to watch him years and years ago, 20+. Funny stuff.
 
I watched that too.I don't know how you'd explain
Benny to someone who's never heard of him.
Better yet,try & explain the plot (in a believable way),to anyone who's never seen Dr. Who!

Cross between a Stan Lee character with a big red "S" and H.G. Wells' "Time Machine"?
 
Not a Benny Hill question, but a movie car question. What was the car Grace Kelly drove in the Alfred Hitchcock movie "To Catch a Thief"? I saw it on TV again recently and never could figure it out--British, American, what? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

This one? https://vintagecars.about.com/b/a/148369.htm
 
Tonight it was an early XKE.
 
Mustard-colored Triumph Herald convertible tonight
 
MGA Steve: Grace Kelly was driving a Sunbeam Alpine (the old style). Weird fact: She died at the wheel of a Rover 3500 when the brakes failed.
Other funny Brits and cars: Monty Pythons great Upper Class Twit of the Year sketch where the twits drive a Spitfire and an E-type, backing into old ladies and slamming the doors.
 
Cleese and Gilliam "Best Of" last eve on PBS!
