Trivia:

This was the only one of Benny Hill's shows to have actual outright nudity, as was seen during the "Benny Kelly, Son of Ned Kelly" sketch as he was being chased through the Australian outback. While home video compilations showed this sketch uncut, TV stations that ran the sketch usually cut out the nudity.
