ADDITION: Kino Blu-ray (May 2021): Kino have transferred Basil Dearden's Who Done It? to Blu-ray. It is cited as being from a "4K Restoration from the Original Camera Negative". The image quality is very strong. It is remarkably tight with beautifully layer contrast. There is no damage nor speckles. The visuals are excellent in 1080P.

On their Blu-ray, Kino use a DTS-HD Master dual-mono track (16-bit) in the original English language. The are plenty of effects, sometimes goofy, but also car chases, and a music number on skates. The score is by Philip Green (The Girl Hunters, The Man Who Finally Died, Basil Dearden's Victim, Sapphire and All Night Long, The League of Gentlemen) sounding as clean and effective as the image quality. Kino offer optional English subtitles on their Region 'A' Blu-ray.

The Kino Blu-ray offers a new commentary by entertainment journalist and author Bryan Reesman - who also did the Kino Blu-ray commentary on The Blue Lamp. He's certainly done his research finding many extraneous links to Hill and his many personas, the interesting short life of Belinda Lee, the varied career of Basil Deaden and some of the supporting cast as well as T.E.B. Clarke, who wrote both Who Done It? and The Blue Lamp. He discusses Benny Hill and his more ribald television show quite a lot and that Hill was friends with Jacques Tati employing his 'school of thought', references to Three Stooges, Keaton, Chaplin (who liked Hill's work!) and more. It is an excellent commentary finding interesting information throughout. Kino also include the 1/2 hour short The Waiters from 1969 written by and starring Benny Hill, It's a dialogue-free rendition of a posh dinner party ruined by two boorish waiters. There are also trailers though none for the film.

Basil Dearden's Who Done It? is pretty much what you might expect - far less cheesecake (unlike how some posters may portray) than Benny Hill's TV show and without Boots Randolph's Yackety Sax theme, but a real genre-mix with the slapstick and sight-gags filling the time. It's certainly dated, getting tiresome quickly, and I can't really find appealing comparisons. The Kino Blu-ray offers an excellent a/v presentation and the inclusion of the commentary and comedic short give it value. There would be some nostalgic value as well. Many may not appreciate the film today.
