Mike Yarwood does Benny Hill (1973-76)

Britain’s top impressionist of the 70’s and 80’s once in a while would pull out a special impersonation to huge applause and laughs, The Lad Himself, Benny Hill! The highlight is a brilliant pastiche of Ernie, ’Alfie, The Dirtiest Coalman in the South’. Includes appearances of Benny Hill alumni Jenny Lee-Wright and Sue Bond, and The Breakaways, while not Hill alumni emerged from the same singing group as The Ladybirds, The ’Oh Boy!’ show’s Vernons Girls, and Penny Lister, the one in black would join The Ladybirds the following year to replace Gloria George, and would appear on their final onscreen appearance on Hill’s show in March 1974.
