I did spot that Benny Hill shows are being shown on one of the more obscure Freeview Channels. Whether they are edited to suit a "modern audience" I know not as I haven't watched any but I did see them on a TV Guide page in the last couple of weeks. Edit to add: Channel 65 That's TV 2 channel. They also have Kenny Everett and Till death us do part along with a few other very non woke programmes.

RMweb Gold checkrail Posted July 26 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 26 RoS will soon get an order for one of these from me. The Ratio one appeared on many layouts featured in the mags 40 or 50 years ago. I seem to remember reading somewhere that it had some inaccuracies but I don't recall what they were. 3 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that the kit seems to have gone out of production in the early 1970s, there may not be all that many still out there. Appearances on eBay are infrequent, and the last time remember seeing an unbuilt one in the plastic, I was driving a Renault 18GTS, of which just two remain in the UK nowadays.
