    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      More than 90% of the material, both musical and scripted, was written by Benny Hill himself. He also frequently directed the show.
    • Quotes

      Blanche: Drink and sex. That's what killed your uncle - drink and sex!

      Harry: Yeah. He couldn't get either, so he shot himself.

    • Alternate versions
      For syndication in the United States, Benny's specials were edited down into half-hour episodes, typically removing obscure British references, the guest musical number (in earlier shows) and the Hill's Angels dance routines (in the early 1980s ones). Later, the syndicators simply took a complete Benny Hill episodes and cut it into two halves, regardless of material/British references.

    Benny Hill - the funniest man ever
    Ladies and Gentlemen - The Benny Hill Show. You don't need much to be funny - just some jokes that are funny. Benny Hill is just like that. He makes it all look so easy, but is impossible to imitate because he's simply be the funniest man ever to have lived on Earth. Basically Benny has only few jokes that he repeats and makes it all again with little variation. That doesn't mean that he repeats himself, because he rather guarantees a good laugh when the audience exactly knows what is going to happen. And when it happens, they laugh.

    The archetype jokes are a mistake, accidental insult and the chase. In a mistake Benny thinks something is something that really isn't it. For example something is heavier than it appears or Benny takes man for a woman. Accidental insult happens when Benny does something that causes harm for someone. For example he touches woman's breast when he's looking for some similar object. The chase is a cliché, but you'll always wait for it. You'll know the chase will soon be on, when the funny 'chase tune' starts to play.

    The Show is however much more fun than my diagnosis of it. Go and see it!
