The truth is, Benny only wanted to make people laugh and brighten their lives up and I think he was definitely hurt by the criticism.
#BENNY HILL SALUTE TV#
British clean-up TV campaigner Mary Whitehouse was always going on at him and I once heard his best-known critic after Mary Whitehouse, Ben Elton, practically accuse him of inciting violence against women. These people brought the trumped up charge of being degrading to women against him but there were very few complaints about him being degrading to short bald-headed elderly men. Thank you for attention.īenny Hill was fair game for people who wanted to take the moral high ground. And you can easily wipe out the today's performances of frigging "comedians" with one single sketch of yours.
Thank you, Mr Benny Hill, your show is one solid anti-depressant from bottom to the top. Something I want to watch and re-watch from time to time. 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. You don't have much time to laugh at one joke while the others are coming in spades already. It is a brilliant mixture of sketches, which are going one after another. Much time has passed since my school years and when I watch the show now the reaction from me is the same. I'm not sure about the opposite sex but we were always blown away by this stuff. 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. This is the show, which means more than just a few laughs to me.
