I absolutely love Benny 5-0. Made me roar with laughter. Hilarious & very clever.
Although he is not regarded as very PC these days, there is little doubt that Benny Hill was a comic genius.
I can remember watching his TV shows as a young kid back in the 1950s. I found them hilarious even then
He always managed to look innocent; he didn't leer; he was never offensive.
Innuendo yes, and lots of it. Smut no.
In real life, he was an eccentric; he lived alone and, tragically, died alone. It was some days after his death before his body was discovered
A comic genius, but, like many great comics, slightly mad.
In the words of Hamlet:
'True genius is to madness near allied'.
My computer won't allow me to post a YouTube link to it, but his 'Wishing Well' sketch is usually regarded as one of his funniest.
