A little bio on him. His show was great!

It so sad the people who are so __________ (enter $3 college word I can't remember), that they desecrate his burial plot looking for valuables...

 

[68GTX4SPEED]

I have VCR tapes with him, love them.

Watch clips of the show on YouTube. The one with Diana Darvey in particular, "Continental Cabaret" sketch which she performed with Hill and regular sidekick Jackie Wright, and which featured a gag involving the word "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious".(latter text from wikipedia).

He was a little risque for TV at the time. I think he was censored quite a bit on what we saw on American TV. They guy was hilarious. Great bio.

Thanks for posting that, it was pretty cool.
The girl who played Daphne on the old Frazier show was a former Benny Hill girl.

Watched every evening at 10PM on KPLR out of St Louis.

They didn’t sensor too much, but perhaps they did.

Wow, didn't know he had been around that long, grew up watching him on late night UHF channels as a kid.
He is about the only English humor I got, never understood Monty Python Or Kids in the Hall... I guess the T&A didnt hurt...

True with most things; cars for sure.

Even me, lol.

I had a science teacher in junior high that would play Benny video tapes when he got exasperated with the class. Always worked. Could never get away with that today.

T&A is a universal language all on it’s own.
