The Best of Benny Hill is a 1974 film spinoff from the television comedy series The Benny Hill Show. This movie features sketches from the early Thames Television years from 1969-1973. All of the sketches in the film are from the episodes produced and directed by John Robins.

Some Sketches include:
The version of "Yakety Sax" as heard during the ending chase sequence was used on 12/27/73.
This movie is similar to the 1971 film And Now For Something Completely Different which was a film spinoff from the television comedy series Monty Python's Flying Circus featuring favourite sketches from the first two seasons. The difference in both films are that the Pythons recreated all the sketches while Benny Hill used clips from the Thames years and edited them together to make the film.
The movie was produced and released in 1974 by Thames Television Ltd. via its feature-film subsidiary Euston Films and originally distributed by EMI Films. Current Worldwide Distribution by Canal + Image UK LTD.

The original programmes were shot on videotape (studio interiors) and 16 mm film (location footage). For theatrical release the videotaped material was transferred to 35 mm film as a telerecording, and the 16 mm footage was blown up to 35 mm.
