Alfred Hawthorne "Benny" Hill (21 January 1924 – 20 April 1992) was an English comedian and actor, best remembered for his television programme The Benny Hill Show, an amalgam of slapstick, burlesque and double entendre in a format that included live comedy and filmed segments, with him at the focus of almost every segment.
A prominent figure in British culture for nearly four decades, his show proved to be one of the great success stories of television comedy. Among the most watched programmes in the UK, the audience peaked at over 21 million in 1971.[2] The show generated impressive revenues for Thames Television, and retains a following in much of the world decades after Hill's death.

Benny Hill - World of Sport (1976)
World Of Sport with Benny as Dickie Davies, the host of a sports program. NOTE: FILM SEQUENCES DIGITALLY RESTORED Feb. 18, 1976
Thanks Maj Marty Hogan for letting us know that January 21 is the anniversary of the birth of English comedian and actor Alfred Hawthorne "Benny" Hill who may be best remembered for his television programme The Benny Hill Show, an amalgam of slapstick, burlesque and double entendre in a format that included live comedy.
To be honest I preferred the humor of Monty Python and the Goon Show to Benny Hill. I saw parts of some shows but it reminded me of a bawdy Hee Haw :-)
Rest in peace Benny Hill!
Thanks for mentioning me SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL
