Benny Hill: Civil Servants

While civil servants were normally the purview of Monty Python's Flying Circus throughout the 70s, they occasionally turned up on Benny Hill whenever the opportunity arose. The scene posted below illustrates one of the fundamental differences between the two shows: on Monty Python, government bureaucrats were targets for absurdist ridicule; on Benny Hill, they were employed to 'inadvertently' raise skirts before the camera.
