Synopsis

The Benny Hill Show is a British comedy television show that starred Benny Hill and aired in various incarnations between 15 January 1955 and 30 May 1991 in over 140 countries. The show focused on sketches that were full of slapstick, mime, parody, and double-entendre. Thames Television cancelled production of the show in 1989 due to declining ratings and large production costs at £450,000 per show.

Corty Blue Never has a comic genius of such magnitude, diversity of skills, and generosity with the cast and audience ever graced television or movies. Truly the greatest recipient of the Chaplin Award for Comedy, Sir Alfred Hawthorne Hill made us laugh, made us sing, made us ... horny.Benny Hill's creativity with choreography, jokes, music, lyrics was endless. Even when he repeated bits, he would always add a new twist each time.Such a shame that Benny Hill was never knighted. Such a crime that he was never elected Prime Minister. He would have done an infinitely better job of running England than any PM since Churchill.As a feminist male, I applaud his genius for interweaving respecting women with his slapstick comedy. It was always the goofball men in the skits who were made the buffoons. But, clearly, he allowed the incredibly talented women on his show (most notably Louise English and Sue Upton) to stretch THEIR comedic acting in skits (Wonder Gran).Benny Hill could play harp, play guitar, play whatever instrument he needed to for a skit, in full drag or costume, write the lyrics for his simple yet interesting tunes.He could do completely silent physical clown routines flawlessly. His skits were never insulting, never condescending, to anyone in society. His emphasis was always on his silly over-the-top characters being goofy. And, of course, nothing was funnier than his relentless ribbing of the always-turned-on heterosexual male sexual desire for women.
Andrei Pavlov This is the show, which means more than just a few laughs to me. And not only to me actually. In our country "Benny Hill Show" was extremely popular and when it was shown on our TV millions of Russian people (little kids and mature adults) couldn't breathe - so funny it was. I'm not sure about the opposite sex but we were always blown away by this stuff.Much time has passed since my school years and when I watch the show now the reaction from me is the same. It is a brilliant mixture of sketches, which are going one after another. You don't have much time to laugh at one joke while the others are coming in spades already. There are misses of course. There are some points at which Mr Benny Hill is almost "over the board" with some rather cheeky humour, but then he manages to get out of the mess with his chin up.Great talent. Great British humour. Great British actors and actresses. Great show. Something I want to watch and re-watch from time to time.Thank you, Mr Benny Hill, your show is one solid anti-depressant from bottom to the top. And you can easily wipe out the today's performances of frigging "comedians" with one single sketch of yours. Yours will remain the classics.10 out of 10 - exceptional quality. Thank you for attention.
atomius This is one of those great comedies from the 70s. It is a sketch show but has little in the way of an extended plot line, most episodes featuring entirely new characters and situations. That is one reason it is worth watching. Sure, some might think it's a tad vulgar, but Benny does indeed show brilliance with his lyrics and rhymes, and the visual humour is very funny. The characters themselves, a constant change of new ones and some recurring ones, are quite hilarious. Half of it is filmed in the studio/audience room itself whilst half is filmed outdoors at particular places such as parks/streets etc. The music and background music is quite 'catchy' and certainly gives the show an upbeat feel. The fact Benny's characters never get the girl they want to just makes it more amusing. And of course one can't forget the effects, using television as a form of almost magic trick like effects, there are some scenes which defy physics. Quite certainly the effects themselves are worthy of viewing.
Petri Pelkonen The Benny Hill Show was very funny British comedy series, that they made in 1969-1989.20 years is a long time for a comedy show.Benny Hill's humor was hilarious.There were many sketches in the show that made you laugh.And there usually was some singing with the Hill's Angels.The Benny Hill Show had many great characters beside Benny himself, like that old man, who Jackie Wright played.Too bad Benny Hill is gone, but his comedy lives on.
