I dont know any of their names but as a teenager with only basic cable they were my passport to puberty.

Years after Frasier ended I discovered Jane Leeves happened to be a Hills Angel.

If you'd like to know their names, the most comprehensive roster (that I know of) can be found here:

I've just now spoken with Sue, and sent her the frame grab. She thinks the dancer on the right is a one-time Angel named Linda Hack, who didn't do any other work in showbiz.

If I hear anything more from Sue about this, I'll certainly post it, but I think we've got as close to a definitive answer as we're going to get.

There's currently a re-run of the 1980 Benny Hill Show on That's TV (VM 150).
Shame Hill's Angels don't get individual credits bearing in mind the contribution they make to the show.

Hi all!

Can anyone please ID this babe in this sketch where Benny Hill is impersonating "Dickie Davies".

I think I worked it out myself. Is it Moira Foot? She's great!

I recently read through this thread - thanks to all who've contributed - and did a bit of looking online to discover 'Spot Black'.

Hadn't seen it for decades, but I can still remember, as a lad barely out of short trousers, how excited it made me. A great combination of humour and sauce.

Gorgeous Leslie Goldie showed me just what a woman could do for a man, and gave me one of my first tastes of 'glamour'.

There was never any suggestion in our household that this wasn't acceptable family viewing!

Here's a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4MPVo44d9s

Hope you enjoy as much I as I did.
