Australian's beware the 'Region 1' setting of this DVD

"I also bought the 5 sets of "Benny Hill Complete and Unadulterated" - they all play fine on my computer here in Australia. .. but the "Benny Hill's World Tour: New York" will not play in Australia automatically - as it states it is set to "Region 1" - just 'google' to easily find a solution. After watching, I felt sad to see Benny like this - there are a couple rehashed jokes from many years ago - I liked the Dr Ruth impression ... not sure about the Roseanne impression though - I felt that Benny needn't have altered his accent so much to cater for a US audience. They loved his work from the past, so why did he feel the need to attempt the various US accents? To me, alot of the Benny Hill magic was lost."
Sad retread

"It pains me to say this, but this is probably Benny Hill's worst effort. It is nothing more than remakes of sketches from the original show with New York backgrounds and unknown replacement actors. And no Hill's Angels. Stick to the original shows"
