I was wondering how far your career goes back.I have a vid that my mate lent me.
I am sure you are in it, it looks from the 70,s, you have a rod stewart haircut in it and it all looks very cheesy !
Any idea ?

Ben has been making gentlemens entertainment since 1897. His stuff was very popular with the troops during the Boer War.

He also entertained our troops before they went into battle against the French at Waterloo. Apparently there is a Stone Age painting in a cave somewhere which depicts Uncle Ben jizzing in some poor cavewomans face. He may be ancient but he is a national treasure. I value him more than the crown jewels.

God Save The Ben!

There was a rumour that he was even in the Bay City Rollers, but - come on - even our Ben couldn't be that old!

.......an old BCR 78 was found by Schliemann at Hissarlik, proving that they go back at least as far as the Trojan Wars.
And one of the cave paintings at Lascaux shows a female Neanderthal being hunted by a gentleman with a Box Brownie in one hand and his tool in the other: not CONCLUSIVE evidence, I know.......

Might not be conclusive evidence JJ but its certainly circumstantial. Old Bill prosecute with less yunno. Not that we should take a leaf from their book.

Ah! News just in from a team of cave explorers in Mesopotamia (spelled wrong I know). Apparently they have just translated some ancient writing on the wall of a cavern. It says "Uncle Ben - Porking With Dinasaurs Vol 1". Available from a cave near you. Its not vhs though I`m afraid. The whole thing is carved in stone slates. Theres even a trailer for "Prehistoric Pussy".

Captain Caveman - he keeps up to date

To answer your question, it was probably a Mike Freeman video from the early 80s. If you do a search on the forum for posts made by Ben himself you will find some reminiscences of his first forays in the business - still photosets - which are a bit earlier than that.

Ah yes I remember the first film production very well. Being a Kentish man we travelled to Canterbury and etched a fantastic scene by the river. We strapped this comely young wench to the ducking stool [which, in my honour is still there] and every time she was hoisted from the water several Yeoman and Burghers of the City were commanded to jizz in her face. Seriously though I do remember the first time I had sex in front of a video camera. I was banned from Dixons for life!
