As fans of the Benny Hill Show and Benny's famous Hill's Angels, we, the undersigned, respectfully request that HBO Video, Thames Television, Fremantlemedia and any other interested parties who have a share or ownership of the copyrights of The Benny Hill Show, to put together a series of DVDs of the Benny Hill Show. We request that these programs contain the original specials as they were aired and produced by Thames Television over the long course of the series run.

We also would truly appreciate these programs being re-mastered from the original film elements. These programs have been made available on DVD, but not as they were originally aired. As time passes, the quality of the picture on these programs continues to degrade, as well as the sound. A Re-mastered picture and soundtrack would be an important asset to such a DVD series. The present DVDs show this degradation in image quality and sound.

It is also about time that some new bonus features in documentary format are put together, as well as audio commentaries. Hill's Angels were an essential element of the program and their involvement in the bonus features is highly anticipated and would be a tribute to Benny Hill's memory. Louise English, Sue Upton, Clare Smalley, Alison Bell, Corinne Russell, Samantha Spencer Lane and so many others of the Angels from the series could be a wonderful part of a Hill's Angels retrospective. Other cast members such as Henry McGee could also be involved in audio commentaries and features as well.

Such a DVD would be a tribute to Britain's greatest comedian, Benny Hill. Thank you.
