It is when we lose such a treasure that we realis what we have actully lost. Thank you for your brillant site. Helen |

It was refreshing to see Benny "victimized" by somebody other than a bimbo or a battle-ax. So what if the kids weren't polished actors; Benny wanted it that way. |

Yes I am Louise Whatling "Hill's Little Angel" and to Ian who disliked the Kid's sketches and thought they were too painful to watch too bad they were fantastic to film. Thank you for all of you who have shown support for Dennis & his family, its a great loss. Thanks for all your support Benny would have been deeply touched. I will be emailing the editor of this site to commend him on his amazing job. Thanks All again. Louise Whatling "The Benny Hill Show" 1989-1991 x x x |

Date: 2006-09-08 18:41:44 Ian ( no email / no homepage) wrote: I enjoyed Benny up until about '85 when the comedy became laboured and the dance routines were no more than aerobics exercises. The Little Angels were excrutiatingly painful to watch. I imagine Benny must have cringed at times to see what his show became. Best years were from about '76 to '84. The show copped a lot of of flak from various quarters but in the main it was no more than a case of ugly fat arsed feminists resenting good looking girls unashamedly strutting their stuff. I recall that boring tosser Ben Elton having a go at the show. Well I know who I and millions of others would prefer to watch. Favourite Angel was Louise English. Favourite dance scene was Runaway. I am presently enjoying reruns of the show on UKTV. |

One of her talks is entitled: "Benny Hill - the man behind the clown." Perhaps, NewVideo/A&E would be willing to hire Marian to participate in a Bonus Feature for the final Set 6 of the "Complete & Unadulterated" Benny Hill series of DVDs. (Ex-Hill players Bettine le Beau and Johnny Hutch also give talks for the SpeakersAgency and should be considered as possible Bonus Feature participants.) |

I think that Lorraine Whitmarsh was the girl who was in Pan's People mark 2 with Sarah B from 76-77. She joined Hot Gossip at the same time as Sarah and stayed till 1980. Do you know what happened to the other girls from the last Hot Gossip line up and did any others become Angels? |

Lorraine Doyle was only in a hand full of Hot Gossip numbers inc Shaft & Contact. I think Ann ,from Hot Gossip's last line up,is acting now and has done one or two adds. There is an unknown Angel on the 'Who are Hill's Angels', Is she an X Hot Gossip Dancer, I'm thinking she may be Viginia Hartley? |

Susie is already in the who's who page, Lindsey I didn't know the last name of but she is in the Angel Con 2 page and I will send info to WB on Frances Wingate so he can send Shawn a screen grab. |

The "Golden Greats" and "Golden Classics" DVD's were distributed by HBO Home Video. However, they've been taken out of print, because of A&E Video's "Complete & Unadulterated" issues of Mr. Hill's complete Thames TV shows. And the "Golden Classics" set consisted of compilation edits from different shows, rather than complete episodes as was the case with "Golden Greats." (I myself never got either DVD compilation, because of the A&E sets.) |
