Irreverently and undeniably hysterical, The Benny Hill Show pioneered a naughty new direction for the sketch-variety show, one that pushed the envelope of television standards and inspired such contemporaries as Saturday Night Live and MADtv. Still considered a hoot and a half today, Benny Hill and his talented ensemble were unafraid to take a "tongue-in-cheeky" approach in satirizing society´s taboos, from bawdy ballads and priceless pantomimes to dizzying double entendres and slaphappy head slapping.
Benny´s smirking antics, beautifully supported by his scantily-clad bevy of buxom babes, released a worldwide tidal wave of unrestrained laughter, winning The Benny Hill Show a hill& er, mountain of accolades, including the British Academy´s Best Comedy Show Award and two Emmy® nominations!..
