This is one of those great comedies from the 70s. It is a sketch show but has little in the way of an extended plot line, most episodes featuring entirely new characters and situations. That is one reason it is worth watching. Sure, some might think it's a tad vulgar, but Benny does indeed show brilliance with his lyrics and rhymes, and the visual humour is very funny. The characters themselves, a constant change of new ones and some recurring ones, are quite hilarious. Half of it is filmed in the studio/audience room itself whilst half is filmed outdoors at particular places such as parks/streets etc. The music and background music is quite 'catchy' and certainly gives the show an upbeat feel. The fact Benny's characters never get the girl they want to just makes it more amusing. And of course one can't forget the effects, using television as a form of almost magic trick like effects, there are some scenes which defy physics. Quite certainly the effects themselves are worthy of viewing.
