25 years ago today the world lost a true funny man - Benny Hill appreciation thread
25 years ago today (April 20, 2017), the world lost a great man who brought smiles and the gift of laughter to people all over the world.

Benny Hill.






Some of my fondest (and happiest) memories growing up was staying up late to catch the U.S. version of the Benny Hill show on a then-small independent TV station here in Central Florida (Channel 35).

I knew I was in for a special treat when the Thames television opening "bug" would appear on the screen.

The U.S. versions edited the show down for time constraints and occasionally for content as well. There was a sketch in which one of "Hill's Angels" showed her bare breasts for a brief moment and the editing team apparently missed it and it aired as is. Laughed my ass off when I first saw it.

God rest your soul Mr. Hill. I know God took you a bit too soon but he needed your humor, and frankly, I don't blame him...

Benny Hill was the best! As a kid, I remember staying up late to sneak watch it on PBS.

LOVED his show...used to watch it all the time growing up late at night.. cheers

It seemed a rare occasion that he could get through one of his own skits with a straight face, and he always cracked me up..

But lets face it....at that age , we used to mainly watch for him chase around the ladies in their knickers to a Saxophone version of Foggy Mountain Breakdown. jay

I loved Benny Hill, too.

Especially when he patted the little old man on the head.

My dad liked it because of the girls.
