I was just wondering if anyone can find a scene where Benny Hill is walking with a woman and she falls in a bog hole completely going under and Benny walks away.

A Benny Hill Show Skit

There was this skit of Benny meeting a woman in a fantasy or something and at the end the woman ends up falling into a small pit of quicksand, She grabs a hold of some cloth or something with her hand being the only thing above the surface of the quicksand before completely going under leaving only bubbles in the surface. Benny seems satisfied with this and walks on. I was wondering if someone can find this scene for me if that’s alright because I’ve tried searching for this for a while now with no luck. Thanks in advance!

Is that the episode or what she tried to hold on too? I’m just wondering what the episode was called.

The object in question was a christmas cracker. They have a paper crown as well as a joke, small toy and candy inside. when they are pulled at each end, they produce a bang or "snap" sound. I make these for my family every Christmas.

The show ran for 20 years so it's not going to be easy to pin down. I do remember the scene though and I had to have viewed it in the early 80's so it's got to be prior to that. This was also syndicated late at night in the U.S. so I'm guessing it had to take place in the first ten years of the series. You've got my curiosity up. Let's see what I can find.

Anyone in England might be interested to know that Benny Hill invented...She-Hulk!
Back when the Lou Ferrigno was airing in GB, the Benny Hill Show aired a sketch where a young woman standing at a bus stop is assaulted by a gang of "gropers"; in response she "hulks out", turning green and bursting out of her clothes (in the course of which the slogan on her expanding T-shirt changes from "Ludo" to Llandudno"; also, using trick photography, the switch the model for a professional female body-builder) and she "clobbers" the gropers with the bus stop sign.
