Benny Hil Bijou Burlesque (1986)
The show opener with Bijou Burlesque, which appears to be a real burlesque show, done in the same style burlesque shows might have been done long ago. Everything from the costumes to the jokes are done in a vaudeville style. Six girls sing a quick song to introduce Benny, who steps out and sings a song about Adam and Eve. Benny introduces a group of beautiful girls who step out and sing a song completely out of tune. The first girl to step on the pedestal is Sue Upton, followed by Anna Dawson, Lorraine Doyle and then an unknown girl in a Carmen Miranda style costume steps up. This bit ends with Benny singing about Adam and Eve once again. April 16, 1986
