Fantastic to see! I thought the scene between Jills last scene with Sarah Jane was one of the best in the series! I even loved the Jane Asher series, despite the naff ending...bring it back!!!
Sorry Jane but that hotel is not the one they mainly used! This one was found in the summer of 1984 and first shown on screen in 1985 to 1988 for 2 1/2 years!
I remember Chris Tarrant mentioning in his interview that he gave for the from 'ATVLand' in Colour DVD that although Benny was a bit of idiot Paul Henry was in real life a very intelligent man.
Benny from Crossroads was the original Forrest Gump but he didn't invest in Apple or IBM or have a successful prawn fishing business or even a ping pong champion - he just emptied the fish tank instead.
How can Benny be employed as an odd-job man if he was thick ? He would have wide knowledge of electricals, plumbing, carpentry and other practical skills.
Lovely to hear him speak outta character. He was very skilled actor an made u believe in "Benny"!
Loved watching it when I was growing up
I’d love ❤️ to watch every episode 😢I was born in 1971 so don’t remember much about the series X
They were Good carefree years in a carefree long gone life of the 1960’s for me.
Love crossroads
Benny famously disappeared for six months after going out to 'fetch a spanner'.

Yes.extemely well educated
@@Battlady57 Saw him play 'Bottom' in A Mid Summer Nights Dream, he was brilliant. He was very much underated
Anthony Gee...that must have been good.i love midsummer nights dream and he must have fitted in so well as bottom.
@@Battlady57 He stole the show, he was fantastic.
Crossed died when Nolly Gordon was sacked ( hence why the show flopped after and was axed )
No problem.I know the feeling!
The gypsy girl was Maureen who died(1977),the girl with the scar,was Alison Cotterill,who appeared a few years after.
If it was on 7 30 pm it still be here today
Jills surname was never Mortimer,she was Richardson,Crane,Harvey & Maddingham..but never Mortimer..thats a mistake within the first few seconds !!!
euronick61 easy mistake to make..
Easy mistake - on gmtv ben shepherd called Glenda Brownlow/Banks - Glenda Fellowes
OOH..SUCH HARD WORK.....Excuse me...im just thinking of Acorn Antiques.
Crossroads motel November 2nd 1964
When i was a kid at School if one of the teachers went mad we used to say oh, miss or Mr so and so just threw a benny lol

Good video!

He would have wide knowledge of electricals, plumbing, carpentry and other practical skills.
He wasn't thick he had a learning disability
he had trouble reading but i reckon was taught practically to do electricals well i hope so
Many people that are slow or disabled etc have jobs, a lot of them will have lots of knowledge on certain subjects that interest them.
To be an electrician you have to be a bit of a bright spark…
Use to fancy adam chance
Never knew that Adam drowned Jill. 😱😱😱
yes he did then not long after they killed him off
@@jazmorrison9030 Idiots
Oh and I forgot Jill Chance too

"Can't work out if that guy's genuinely soft in the head or if he's a gifted actor."
My mate's Dad.
