Among the highlights: "Hold Back the Wind," yet another of his Tennessee Williams parodies; "Archie's Angels," a takeoff on "Charlie's Angels"; a sketch of two men who tended to Lady Godiva's horse; and, in a concession to his filming location, the saga of Benny Kelly, son of outlaw Ned Kelly.

Trivia
Filmed entirely in Australia with an all-Australian cast and crew, save for Benny Hill himself.

Alternate versions
The British airing had several differences from the original Australian presentation, including the order of sketches changed, some portions edited out (such as a sketch with Benny's Chow Mein character as the Chinese Minister of Culture, as well as Benny at the Sydney Opera House introducing "Archie's Angels"), and an outright substitution of one sketch (the black-and-white "Love Will Find a Way", from Show 7 (1971), replacing the Chow Mein interview sketch).
