I remember seeing a comedy skit in which two men were fighting in what I believe was a locker room. One of them was rather large and the other was small in stature.

When one of them would punch the other it would cut the camera and angle and an obvious stunt double would then fall into the lockers. The stunt double for the large man was way to small and vice versa for the small guy.

I could’ve sworn this was a Benny Hill skit and he was the large guy and the small guy was the little guy who was a regular character.

I haven’t been able to find this skit in any of the episodes and a search of the web has turned up nothing as well.

Does anyone else remember this skit and where I can find it?

Thanks,  
Jose

It’s Benny Hill’s spoof of ‘The Avengers’ TV series, but good luck finding the clip.
