Benny Hill with a loose plot... and the promise of titties.

That sums it up pretty well.

Wikipedia has it.

And, of course, YouTube.

Reminds me of me trying to explain to my Egyptian friend what a Broadway musical is. I tried, but I just couldn't turn the spectacles of Broadway into something he could quite imagine so in the end I just gave up.

It's like a vaudeville version of bollywood, but without the singing, with English people and with more tit jokes.

(* looking up - it appears chuckdarwin and myself are on the same page *)

There's a shop in NY called Carry on Tea and Sympathy--T&S is the restaurant; A Salt and Battery is the chip shop.

chuckdarwin has it pretty much nailed I think. I've seen a fair number of them, and Benny Hill: The Movie, seems a pretty safe generalization.

You might want to check into a region free player, you can find them quite cheap these days. You may also want to do a little research on the player you already have, some players can be "unlocked" with something as simple as accessing a service menu which can be done on some units remote control.
