Two years after Benny Hill's death, Freddie Starr teamed up with producer Dennis Kirkland to make his terrible series, a poor imitation of Hill's Thames shows, replete with second bananas Derek Deadman and Bob Todd ( the latter would pass away soon afterwards, cementing this unfortunate enterprise as his final work. Starr later observed: "I felt the concept was all wrong!". Sadly, viewers felt that way too. Some of the items featuring guest stars of the calibre of Adam Faith and Frank Bruno were amusing, however. But the poorer sketches outweighed the good ones. Much better was 'The Freddie Starr Experience' from 1978 which, to date, is commercially unavailable.
