I will admit I haven’t seen much Benny Hill, but what I have seen was him chasing around half-naked women while “funny” music plays. No thanks.

We American blokes have sadly only seen the latter half of Benny’s long tv career. (I think a good chunk of his 60’s shows are lost?) But there are flashes of brilliance even in the later years. I saw a sketch he did about how widescreen movies are ruined when being shown cropped on tv, that was as good as any Python skit. And not a half naked woman being chased in sight!

There was also a parody of The Avengers that cracked me up with all the purposely badly concealed stunt doubles I was reminded of watching the real show recently.

And Benny did movies too.

I saw a bunch of his early stuff when I was young, that is how I got introduced to him.

Oh, the memories and the laughs. 😃
