Well, Sergeant, aren't you going to say it that it's bigger on the inside than it is on the outside? Everybody else does.

It's pretty obvious, isn't it?

I love that Benton being hungry but not getting to eat is a running joke.

The Daemons

Benton is hungry, but doesn’t want the sandwiches he and Yates are given when they’re stuck at HQ for the night.  

He didn’t have breakfast before he and Yates take off in the helicopter to find the Doctor and Jo. He asks Yates if they can get some soon. (This is totally Benton's own fault. He had several hours and even the time to change clothes, and he didn't eat?)

When they’re all discussing what to do in the pub, the pub owner asks if he can get them anything to eat. Benton says yes, but Jo says no, and Benton is disappointed that the guy listens to her. He looks to Yates, then huffs loudly.  

Benton gets some tea while in the pub, but not a morsel of food. I guess all of it, even basic snacks, are locked up.

He can’t even get anything to eat at the end, because he gets pulled into the village dance, while Yates and the Brigadier go to the pub. 

Day of the Daleks

He begs Jo to get him some food, since he can’t move from his post. Jo does, and when she comes back. Then Yates come in, tells Benton to go somewhere else, and takes the food for himself. (Personally, I like to think he did that as a joke and actually took it to share with Benton 😜)

The Time Monster

When offered food at the scientists’ house, Benton enthusiastically says yes. But the Brigadier tells him no, so he doesn’t get any. And then he has to see the scientists eating their sandwiches.

The Green Death

When they all find the maggot dead from eating the mushrooms on the table. There’s a funny bit where as they leave the room in a hurry, the Doctor passes the plate of mushrooms to the Brig, who passes it to Benton. Then Benton stares at the plate in his hand for a moment, before putting it on the table and running after everyone else. He literally had a plate of food in his hand, looks like he wants to eat it, but realizes a giant maggot had been all over it.

Terror of the Zygons

Benton and Sarah are at HQ, waiting for word on the Doctor’s whereabouts. He unwraps a chocolate bar, offers some to Sarah who declines. While they’re talking, he’s staring at it. But then before he can actually eat it, the Brigadier comes in and they make plans and rush off. He can’t even enjoy some chocolate.
