00:00:00Benny Hill was one of Britain's most popular entertainers ever.
00:00:05Apparently one of his specials got more viewers than the Moon London's.
00:00:09His brand of risque slapstick dominated primetime TV for nearly two decades.
00:00:15Brilliantly timed. It's brilliantly acted.
00:00:18It's just a classic bit of clowning.
00:00:19Winning him the admiration of pop icons and even gangster rappers.
00:00:24Lots of the hip-hop stars are Benny Hill fans to this day.
00:00:27But you don't see much of him nowadays.
00:00:31He's been quietly forgotten about. Some might say cancelled.
00:00:34Some of the attitudes have dated terribly.
00:00:37There's no subtlety at all. It's just purely titillation.
00:00:42But is he the victim of modern sensibilities?
00:00:45Or should some of this stuff never have been broadcast in the first place?
00:00:50So just when you think it's a bit sexist, it becomes a bit racist as well.
00:00:54We're going to be showing some of his classic moments.
00:00:58It's just a beautiful piece of comic performance.
00:01:00That is comedy genius at its best.
00:01:03And a few things that you just can't show now.
00:01:06It's just filth.
00:01:07To the generation who watched it first time round.
00:01:10There's something about his face that makes you laugh.
00:01:12That was a bit saucy, wasn't it?
00:01:14And some unimpressed members of Generation Z.
00:01:17That would not fly today, I don't think.
00:01:19Yeah, that would not fly.
00:01:20As we tell the story of a very British entertainer.
00:01:30In May of 1989, Benny is called into Thames Television headquarters for a ten-minute meeting with the boss in which he's told his show is cancelled.
00:01:41Ten-minute meeting.
00:01:43That's all they gave him after all that he had done for them.
00:01:47All the millions he'd made for them.
00:01:50I think the rug was really pulled out.
00:01:52And he felt that, although he was a man with no massive ego, that there might be farewell drinks or a bunch of flowers or something.
00:02:02But I think it was really quite a quick, thanks for your time, this is done.
00:02:09He was just gobsmacked.
00:02:10I couldn't believe it.
00:02:12So unfair.
00:02:13The reasons Thames gave facts in Benny was that it was an expensive show to make, it was getting too expensive, the ratings were falling, and that Benny was looking tired.
00:02:27By 1989, Benny Hill was a man out of time.
00:02:31But in his day, well, this was his day.
00:02:34In the early 70s, 21 million Brits gathered around their new colour TV sets for some good old family entertainment, the Benny Hill Show.
00:02:50I actually love the ballerina sketch.
00:02:54Because it's one of his silly ones.
00:03:02You know, the kind of back and forth, and she comes out and he does and he misses this and he misses that.
00:03:19It's his physicality that's funny doing that sketch.
00:03:23And I love that he was so brave.
00:03:25He'll dress up in anything to get a laugh.
00:03:28I think that's probably the crux, the crux of the matter.
00:03:38I actually remember, I remember the bike pump sketch and my dad going, Benny Hill, no!
00:03:46Her bosoms get bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger, which is basically very funny.
00:03:50Seaside humour.
00:03:51And we have some very modern comedy palettes.
00:03:56I think they're known as young people.
00:03:58To see what they think of dear old Benny.
00:04:00Looking at it then, it can be quite funny.
00:04:05It was quite funny.
00:04:05It was funny.
00:04:07It's very much part of that whole seaside postcard tradition, which he loved very much Benny's world.
00:04:12But some of Benny's sketches would be unacceptable by today's standards.
00:04:18Oh my God.
00:04:27Yeah.
00:04:27I didn't even close.
00:04:28I was going to say, but I wasn't sure.
00:04:30I just want to work out whether it was him or not.
00:04:34Oh, and the other guy.
00:04:35Oh my God.
00:04:35That was just like the worst of both worlds.
00:04:42There was a lot to unpack in that video.
00:04:44Wow.
00:04:44You have the whole black face, whatever was going on there, which was a bit outrageous as well.
00:04:51Not a bit, Benny.
00:04:53I mean, what the hell?
00:05:02Out of that racist.
00:05:03There we are.
00:05:04What a shame.
00:05:06That is such a huge part of his legacy.
00:05:09What a shame.
00:05:10Now, you have been telling my colleague that you are going to the Isle of Wight.
00:05:13Yeah.
00:05:13For what purpose?
00:05:15Bleeding cows.
00:05:16No, that is where.
00:05:18I wish to know why.
00:05:20That is, that is why.
00:05:21I'm going there, bleeding cows.
00:05:24Looking at that sketch nowadays, it's just, just not on, is it?
00:05:28It's kind of a double whammy of, of, of cultural misappropriation, if you like.
00:05:33I know Farmer Blown.
00:05:35He's angrier.
00:05:37Oh, why is he angrier?
00:05:38Because he's living.
00:05:39He's angrier.
00:05:43East Angrier.
00:05:44It wasn't funny at all, like, just, it was too, like, it's so over the top and just
00:05:53so racist.
00:05:54It wasn't funny, what's for it?
00:05:56So what was going on back then?
00:05:59To find out more about Benny's triumphant highs and troubling lows, let's wind back to
00:06:05the 1920s, when this saucy star's story began.
00:06:09It was a mild Monday in Southampton when Benny made his entrance.
00:06:18He was born Alfred Hawthorne Hill on January the 21st, 1924, to mum Helen and dad Alfred,
00:06:26the manager of a surgical appliance shop.
00:06:28When he came from a humble background, he was the middle child.
00:06:31His dad had been a clown.
00:06:35His paternal grandfather had been in the circus, too.
00:06:39Even as a kid, he saw it as his role to try and entertain the rest of the family, try and
00:06:43make them laugh, which he did often by dressing up in his mum's clothes.
00:06:47A habit he never grew out of.
00:06:51Benny's dad's shop also sold, of all things, condoms.
00:06:55So he would have been aware of sort of sexual embarrassment at quite a young age.
00:07:03So that maybe tells you something about where he gets his sense of humour from.
00:07:08He'd have also grown up with, you know, saucy seaside postcards typified by Donald McGill.
00:07:13You know, these kind of lurid paintings of a gag that's to do with sex, marriage, infidelity,
00:07:23all of those things.
00:07:25After leaving school, Benny's jobs included one at Woolworths and another on a milk round.
00:07:33He would come back from his round and he would do his impressions of the customers.
00:07:38He'd actually do perfect take-offs of these people who got milk from him.
00:07:41And he just, he had that natural knack for just making people laugh.
00:07:48Watching stage shows as a kid, Benny's eye was on one guy.
00:07:52The comedian used to come on, he used to get more applause than anybody else.
00:07:57He was always surrounded by pretty dancing ladies.
00:07:59And I thought, hey, he must get more money than anybody else because he's got top billing.
00:08:04Surrounded by beautiful girls.
00:08:06Everybody loves him.
00:08:08That's for me.
00:08:09In 1941, at age 17, Benny packed his suitcase and headed to London, where he got a job with a touring review.
00:08:20His showbiz dream was about to come true.
00:08:24By 1942, Benny's stage career was on the rise.
00:08:38But his plan for world domination was about to be scuppered by none other than Adolf Hitler.
00:08:43He's in the wings in Cardiff and two coppers turn up to nick him because he's had his conscription papers.
00:08:52He's been called up and he hasn't gone.
00:08:54But he hadn't been home to see the call-up papers.
00:08:56Unlucky, Benny.
00:08:58After four years with the troops, Benny was back out performing on stage and on radio.
00:09:06He took on the name Benny Hill, a tribute to his comedy idol, Jack Benny.
00:09:10When he first started out, he had quite bad stage fright when he was doing theatres.
00:09:17There's a great quote here about Benny Hill from Ronald Waldman from 1947, October 1947.
00:09:27The only trouble with him was that he didn't make me laugh at all, at all italicised.
00:09:34And for a comedian, that's not very good.
00:09:37It's a mixture of lack of comedy personality and lack of comedy material.
00:09:42So in other words, his material's rubbish and he performs it badly.
00:09:48So Benny has this scathing review from Roddy Waldman.
00:09:52He then goes off and he's touring the country.
00:09:56And in Sunderland, he dies so badly with the audience, he gets the slow hand clap.
00:10:01It's the worst he's ever felt about himself. He's just dying out there, literally.
00:10:07I mean, he's not literally dying, is he, Gary? Because then he'd be dead.
00:10:13But Benny wasn't going to let stage fright and a couple of bad reviews defeat him.
00:10:18He believed that his future was in TV and he set about writing his own sketches.
00:10:23When you get into the post-war period, TV comes back, but it's still one channel, BBC One, that's it.
00:10:29There was literally nowhere else to go for a television comedian than the BBC.
00:10:36I think Benny Hill had foresight to see where TV was going, definitely.
00:10:39A lot of people still thought of comedy as a stage medium or even a radio medium.
00:10:44Not many people thought in terms of TV like Benny Hill did.
00:10:48Benny was determined to get his foot in the door at the BBC.
00:10:52But one man stood in his path.
00:10:57He was about to come face to face with his harshest critic, Ronnie Waldman.
00:11:08In 1951, at age 27, Benny Hill arrived at the BBC, armed with 40 freshly written comedy sketches.
00:11:16He had a lot of chutzpah. He did. He really did. He doesn't give it up easily. He's determined.
00:11:22But of course, the one person standing in his way is Ronnie Waldman, who criticised him in 1947 and now happens to be the head of BBC Light Entertainment.
00:11:33So, I did these sketches for him. I was only there about half an hour, I suppose.
00:11:41And he said, who do you think this material would suit?
00:11:45And I thought, shall I say Arthur Esky or who shall I say?
00:11:48And I said, well, who do you think they would suit?
00:11:50And he said, I think they'd suit you.
00:11:52Ronnie is now so impressed with him, he gives him a job on the spot.
00:12:00Benny's luck was in.
00:12:02And his TV predictions were spot on.
00:12:06During the 1950s, telly ownership went through the roof,
00:12:10as Brits gathered round their sets to watch Liz take the throne.
00:12:13British comedy in the 1950s is still very much in the kind of era of variety.
00:12:24There were certain things in variety which were just funny.
00:12:28Innuendo was funny.
00:12:30Jokes about wives and mothers-in-law was funny.
00:12:35Benny was making his name at the BBC.
00:12:37And in 1955, he was given his very own series, The Benny Hill Show.
00:12:46Oh, there's a rose for the way
00:12:49Spirits rose when we met
00:12:53Forget me not to remind me
00:12:57To remember not to forget
00:13:00Benny was always very, very good at wordplay.
00:13:02He was great at songs.
00:13:03He loved language and the double meanings of language.
00:13:05And the way he sort of riffs on the names of flowers in The Garden of Love shows that.
00:13:10But Gus, the gardener's gone now
00:13:12And you went with him too
00:13:15The fungus here reminds me
00:13:19Of the fungus he's having with you
00:13:23This is where he goes back to musical
00:13:25In that influence on him
00:13:27The fact that, you know, people loved a jaunty little song
00:13:30And this is what he provides all the time.
00:13:32It was very normal for comedians to have a song number
00:13:35But of course he makes it comedic
00:13:37There's slapstick in it
00:13:38And the sun and the rain
00:13:41Fell from up above
00:13:44And landed on the earth
00:13:47And the whole thing about that bit
00:13:53That really impressed me was
00:13:54It's the detail of his reaction
00:13:58People think of slapstick as a sort of simple, childish form
00:14:02But slapstick is the most beautiful form of comedy in some ways
00:14:05Because it's all about detail
00:14:07Benny was the first comedian to parody TV shows
00:14:12And stars of the time
00:14:13One hit sketch was Soapbox Jewry
00:14:17Soapbox Jewry was a parody of Jukebox Jewry
00:14:20Which was a huge kind of pop show at the time
00:14:23It was like a pop review show
00:14:24They would play kind of the new records of the day
00:14:27Welcome to another edition of Soapbox Jewry
00:14:30And let's see who we have on tonight's panel, shall we?
00:14:34Fred Curry, Dish Jockey
00:14:35Hello there
00:14:37Please get so much a film star
00:14:40Evening
00:14:42Benny's parody of it, looking back
00:14:45Was actually pretty spot on
00:14:48He played, you know, all the panel
00:14:50And he played the host
00:14:52And that was kind of groundbreaking
00:14:55The camera would sort of cut to members of the audience
00:15:01And people would sort of gradually realise they were on camera
00:15:04And kind of start to look all shifty and shy
00:15:06And Benny did sort of parody that really well
00:15:08And be like, that's Benny
00:15:10Benny, and that one's Benny
00:15:12And the woman's Benny
00:15:13Surely the presenter is
00:15:16Oh, and that's Benny
00:15:17Everyone was Benny
00:15:18It's the first time
00:15:21Anyone had played four characters on screen
00:15:24At the same time using the split screen techniques
00:15:26So he was always looking to innovate
00:15:28If you can make one person play several characters
00:15:30And you can believe in those characters as well
00:15:32Then you've got a good sketch
00:15:34TV made Benny a household name
00:15:38But his next move would bring global fame
00:15:40As he was asked to star in five feature films
00:15:43Including two of the biggest hits of the 60s
00:15:48The Italian Job
00:15:49And Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
00:15:51Cubby Broccoli
00:15:53Who was, you know, famous for the Bond films
00:15:55But he was producing Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
00:15:57And he asked Benny to do a bit of a comedy re-write on the script
00:16:02Which is, you know, a real accolade
00:16:05In 1969, Benny broke free from the traditional and cautious BBC
00:16:11And moved his show to the brash, younger upstart
00:16:15ITV
00:16:16By the time he gets to Thames TV for ITV
00:16:19Benny is now writing the whole show
00:16:21It's his baby entirely
00:16:23His vision
00:16:24And he's making it work
00:16:26To millions of viewers
00:16:28Apparently one of his specials on Thames
00:16:30Got more viewers than the moon landings
00:16:33In 1971
00:16:40Benny was awarded ITV Personality of the Year
00:16:44And viewing figures for the show topped 21 million
00:16:48All right, show off
00:16:49As the 70s progressed
00:16:51So did Benny's saucy contenter
00:16:54Vickers, Vickers playing football
00:16:59Whatever next?
00:17:01Will!
00:17:05Anything like that was just hilarious
00:17:07Someone's flies being undone
00:17:08You know, in the days before internet pornography
00:17:11Where you just see, like, organic willies
00:17:14Here, there and everywhere
00:17:15The very idea of someone's flies being undone
00:17:17It's hilarious
00:17:18The expressions of comedy timing are brilliant
00:17:21I mean, they really are brilliant
00:17:22I feel that we in the church
00:17:26Should show that we're just the same as everyone else
00:17:28I mean, that we're human
00:17:31They're both kind of really allowing that laugh
00:17:35To go and go and go
00:17:38And then they do something to prod it
00:17:39And it goes again
00:17:41And it's just a beautiful piece of comic performance
00:17:44They do it brilliantly
00:17:45We all have our little differences
00:17:48I mean, as in industry
00:17:50But I think the important thing is to air one's differences
00:17:53From time to time
00:17:55That was funny
00:17:57Yeah, that was more funny, yeah
00:17:59And I think when he was trying to, like, cover it up
00:18:01With the flower pot or whatever it was
00:18:03That was funny as well
00:18:04Just, like, the awkwardness of it all
00:18:06He does everything that you kind of feel like
00:18:08Oh, God, how would I do that?
00:18:09Just a little bit more
00:18:10A little bit bigger
00:18:12Well, Vicar, you know
00:18:14This is really mostly far gone and done
00:18:15And then the uttering hand of the breath
00:18:17Your fly's undone
00:18:18Your fly's undone
00:18:18You know, it's just
00:18:19It's just perfect Benny Hill comedy
00:18:21That is
00:18:22Just a lovely little sketch
00:18:23There's something so British
00:18:25About the quiet panic
00:18:27When there's a faux pas
00:18:29And what would be even worse than the faux pas
00:18:32Is if you bought it to their attention
00:18:34In any way publicly
00:18:36I think that really hit home
00:18:38With the British sensibility
00:18:39Of things being right and proper
00:18:412044
00:18:432045
00:18:45The fact that that was on TV as well
00:18:50Like, primetime TV
00:18:52It's kind of insane
00:18:53And
00:18:53Like, if that came up on the TV
00:18:56While you were watching with the family
00:18:58That would, yeah
00:19:00Definitely be
00:19:01Very weird
00:19:02Your parents would go
00:19:02Quickly
00:19:03Turn off
00:19:04Yeah, please
00:19:04Yeah
00:19:05So this is purely a male fantasy
00:19:22Of what a secretary is
00:19:24So subservient
00:19:25Bend over when required
00:19:28It's just so sleazy
00:19:33Just so sleazy
00:19:34It's sad that it had to be
00:19:36You know, again
00:19:37A woman with spenders on
00:19:39That distracts him
00:19:40But
00:19:41It kind of works in that sketch
00:19:43It works for me
00:19:44Because
00:19:44Because
00:19:45The punchline is funny
00:19:47Anything else that could have distracted him
00:19:49But I guess
00:19:50Because of the time
00:19:51And because it was a Benny Hill show
00:19:53It had to be a woman doing that
00:19:54Women certainly featured frequently in Benny's show
00:20:00In every unlikely scenario
00:20:03The two times feud is quite funny
00:20:06Like when they're running behind the fire engine
00:20:07That's quite funny
00:20:08You had this whole sketch about these sort of firemen
00:20:10Trying to save people
00:20:11And it was more about the firemen
00:20:13Just wanting to do what they want to do
00:20:15As opposed to actually going to save people
00:20:16Benny's sort of like
00:20:17Taking the mickey out of everybody
00:20:19It's not like handsome young guys
00:20:21It's beautiful young women
00:20:22And very old, creepy men
00:20:24Brace yourselves, folks
00:20:28I mean, the way she goes up and down
00:20:36On the pole
00:20:37That's the gynaecological bit
00:20:39I just can't bear
00:20:40And they show them going up and down
00:20:42And up and down
00:20:43With, you know, bottom and suspenders
00:20:44And they do it in slow motion
00:20:47Not everyone's a fan, Benny
00:20:48It's just filth
00:20:50I couldn't help but laugh
00:20:52At seeing that when they did get to the house
00:20:57To rescue the people from the burning building
00:20:59That the female firefighters
00:21:01Were wearing short skirts
00:21:02And spike heels going up the ladder
00:21:05It's ludicrous to think of it
00:21:07As something that would have just been
00:21:10Not even questioned at the time
00:21:13One of the male firefighters
00:21:14Got in through the window
00:21:16In order to canoodle with one of the women
00:21:18Who we were supposed to be dragging
00:21:20Out of the burning building
00:21:21So all very realistic
00:21:24But actually some really funny bits as well
00:21:26Clever writing
00:21:27No, you're right
00:21:29It's not very realistic, is it?
00:21:31You see one girl in the window
00:21:34In lingerie
00:21:36And then, like, literally a minute later
00:21:38There's another girl all of a sudden
00:21:40In lingerie in the window
00:21:41Yeah
00:21:41It's like, this is not a common occurrence
00:21:43That happens
00:21:44Like, I'm just a bit confused
00:21:46Yeah, like, that's not like a casual afternoon thing
00:21:48Yeah
00:21:48Like, it was like night time or anything
00:21:50Like
00:21:51It's kind of a combination of
00:21:54Almost of silent film
00:21:56And smut
00:21:58There are definitely moments where
00:22:00I'm watching it
00:22:01Thinking
00:22:02Like
00:22:03There's no way that this was put on TV
00:22:05It was what the 70s were about
00:22:07It was about
00:22:08Showing as much as you can get away with
00:22:11Showing on television
00:22:12I think partly it's to do with
00:22:14You know
00:22:15A loosening of social morals
00:22:17You know
00:22:18A less censorious attitude
00:22:19Towards sex
00:22:21And because
00:22:22Society was much more structurally sexist
00:22:25Than it is now
00:22:26The way that manifests
00:22:28Is in a kind of show
00:22:29That sort of objectifies women
00:22:31At the time that
00:22:32Benny Hill was at its peak
00:22:34We also had
00:22:35The Miss World
00:22:36So-called beauty competition
00:22:38And it was
00:22:39Telling us that
00:22:40Girls and women
00:22:41Are judged
00:22:42Only by one thing
00:22:43If you
00:22:46Turned over your newspaper
00:22:49Page
00:22:49You got page three of the sun
00:22:51And
00:22:52You know
00:22:52A semi-naked woman
00:22:53That was completely
00:22:55Completely normal
00:22:57At that time
00:22:58And as society
00:23:00Became less prudish
00:23:01Benny would raise the temperature
00:23:03To maximum
00:23:04In his show
00:23:12Benny Hill
00:23:13Played characters
00:23:14From across the globe
00:23:15One of the regulars
00:23:16Was Chow Min
00:23:17From China
00:23:18I come to Glade Bliton
00:23:2111 years ago
00:23:23What were you looking for?
00:23:25Knowledge
00:23:26You were looking for knowledge?
00:23:28Yes
00:23:28But did you find it?
00:23:29Yes
00:23:29Where?
00:23:30In Norfolk
00:23:31That would not fly today
00:23:37I don't think
00:23:37Yeah
00:23:37That would not fly
00:23:38That was
00:23:39Wow
00:23:39Yeah
00:23:40That caught me off guard
00:23:42To be honest
00:23:42I was not expecting that
00:23:43The accent as well
00:23:45The accent
00:23:46And him like
00:23:46Squinting his eyes
00:23:47Like that
00:23:48That's really bad
00:23:48Yeah
00:23:49Let me ask you a question
00:23:50When was the last time
00:23:53That you had an election?
00:23:54He thinks he's saying
00:24:03Erection or not election
00:24:04So the joke is on the English guy
00:24:07Who can't understand
00:24:08What's being said
00:24:09You couldn't use the word
00:24:11Erection
00:24:12In a sexual context
00:24:14In those days
00:24:15So it's almost
00:24:17Benny Hill
00:24:17Getting away
00:24:19With flouting the conventions
00:24:20Of the time
00:24:22But because it's all framed
00:24:23In racial stereotyping
00:24:25That risqué bravery
00:24:28I think is a loss
00:24:29You mean a parliamentary election?
00:24:32Of course
00:24:32Wait a minute
00:24:37You didn't think
00:24:39I meant a council election?
00:24:42So the humour
00:24:43With the miscommunication
00:24:45I think
00:24:45Was actually quite funny
00:24:46But then
00:24:47The miscommunication
00:24:48Was because of race
00:24:50Is what made it
00:24:51Like unfunny
00:24:52Are accents funny?
00:24:54I think accents are funny
00:24:55I think accents
00:24:56Have always been funny
00:24:57And always will be funny
00:24:58And I think we're
00:24:59Fooling ourselves
00:25:00If we pretend they're not
00:25:01I think there's an ignorance
00:25:03To it
00:25:03But there's also
00:25:03An innocence to it
00:25:04I think
00:25:05I think it's like
00:25:05A sort of
00:25:06A child doing a funny voice
00:25:09I don't think
00:25:09Benny Hill
00:25:10Was a nasty racist
00:25:12I think he was
00:25:13Just sort of lazy
00:25:14And had the
00:25:16Prevailing view
00:25:17At the time
00:25:18The 1971 Immigration Act
00:25:21Gave Commonwealth citizens
00:25:22Living in the UK
00:25:24The permanent right to stay
00:25:25This included
00:25:26The Windrush generation
00:25:27And those from other
00:25:29Former British colonies
00:25:30The UK population
00:25:32Was changing
00:25:32But not everyone
00:25:34Was ready for it
00:25:35It was a very parochial time
00:25:37Britain was very British
00:25:39In the 70s
00:25:40You know
00:25:40Air travel wasn't widespread
00:25:43There was no internet
00:25:44You know
00:25:46So anything foreign
00:25:47Seemed really foreign
00:25:49And really exotic
00:25:50And would always
00:25:51Get remarked upon
00:25:52If you have 21 million
00:25:53People tuning in
00:25:55To watch someone
00:25:56Who is portraying
00:25:57Characters that you think
00:25:58Are inappropriate
00:25:59It's a sign of the times
00:26:00Why is it Benny Hill
00:26:02Would get blamed
00:26:02For something
00:26:03If society was laughing at it
00:26:05Fortunately
00:26:07Not all of Benny's
00:26:09Characters were so
00:26:09Controversial
00:26:10One in particular
00:26:12Would win the hearts
00:26:13Of many viewers
00:26:14Fred Scuttle
00:26:15Fred Scuttle
00:26:29That guy
00:26:30With the thing
00:26:31Yeah
00:26:32That's my guy
00:26:32Yeah
00:26:33Yeah
00:26:33He was my top character
00:26:35That Benny Hill played
00:26:36It was basically
00:26:37An idiot
00:26:39Who thought
00:26:40He was a genius
00:26:41And that's quite
00:26:42A funny combination
00:26:43I find that funny
00:26:52Like we do it ourselves
00:26:53Like if you have
00:26:54Like a video
00:26:55And you speed it up
00:26:56And you send it to each other
00:26:57Like it is really funny
00:26:59Because he's so animated
00:27:00As a person anyway
00:27:01When it's in double speed
00:27:03It makes you look
00:27:03Even more energetic
00:27:04It's got to look like
00:27:06He hasn't done one press up
00:27:07In his life
00:27:08How he literally
00:27:09Gets involved
00:27:10In these scenarios
00:27:11Is beyond me
00:27:12Because Scuttle
00:27:13Definitely does not
00:27:15Look like he's fit
00:27:15I like Scuttle
00:27:20Because he was a bit
00:27:20Mad and daft
00:27:21Of all the characters
00:27:23I think that's the one
00:27:24That probably went
00:27:25Right through
00:27:26From the 60s
00:27:2768
00:27:27Right through to the end
00:27:28Scuttle was always
00:27:29Somewhere around the shows
00:27:31And old Fred
00:27:34Often made some
00:27:35Dodgy business decisions
00:27:36Fred Scuttle
00:27:39Is now
00:27:40Opening his own
00:27:41Escort service
00:27:41So Nicholas Parsons
00:27:43Goes to interview me
00:27:43About it
00:27:44If a lady came to you
00:27:45And said that she
00:27:46Wanted a night
00:27:47Of excitement
00:27:48Glamour
00:27:49Sensuality
00:27:51And
00:27:52Unforgettable
00:27:54Ecstasy
00:27:55Nicholas Parsons
00:28:04Asks him something
00:28:05And there's just
00:28:06A really
00:28:06Really long reaction
00:28:08Where they
00:28:09They milk it
00:28:10Between the two of them
00:28:11So beautifully
00:28:12And he does it
00:28:12Really really well
00:28:13If she wanted
00:28:14All these things
00:28:16Yes sir
00:28:16Would you give her one
00:28:20Not necessarily
00:28:26There's something
00:28:28About his face
00:28:28That makes you laugh
00:28:29And you see
00:28:30The two of them
00:28:30Interacting
00:28:31And you know
00:28:31They're both
00:28:32On the verge
00:28:32Of bursting out
00:28:33How many takes
00:28:34Did that take
00:28:35Nicholas Parsons
00:28:35And Benny
00:28:36Do have this great
00:28:36Chemistry
00:28:37Which you see
00:28:37And
00:28:38They dance
00:28:40Around the innuendos
00:28:40And do blonde tondras
00:28:41In a very clever way
00:28:42And sort of
00:28:43Bring each other
00:28:44To fits of giggles
00:28:45Here they are
00:28:46Come on lads
00:28:46Here we'll be
00:28:48The return
00:28:49Of the romantic
00:28:50Dealer sir
00:28:51Look at that
00:28:52Scuttle brings in
00:28:55His male escorts
00:28:56And it's
00:28:56Frank and Bob
00:28:58And they're
00:28:58All these old boys
00:28:59And the male escorts
00:29:01Were old as shit
00:29:02Literally
00:29:02He must have
00:29:03Daggered them up
00:29:04From a graveyard
00:29:05But they were old
00:29:06So that was funny
00:29:09That they're not
00:29:10Like chipping
00:29:10Their own fit
00:29:11Look at that
00:29:14Little officer
00:29:15The male escorts
00:29:16Are all kind of
00:29:17Frail looking old men
00:29:18And the female escorts
00:29:20Are much younger
00:29:21Much more glamorous
00:29:22Females
00:29:23Which is
00:29:23Textbook Benny Hill
00:29:25And a little bit
00:29:25Uncomfortable
00:29:26Hang on
00:29:27Fella
00:29:27Come on lads
00:29:28Come on
00:29:30You stand as much
00:29:31Chance as the others
00:29:32Come on lads
00:29:33Yes
00:29:33It's the worst escort service
00:29:37Ever
00:29:37He's got his wife
00:29:40Working for the escort service
00:29:42Can you see how this was
00:29:43Seen as misogynistic
00:29:46To women
00:29:47His wife
00:29:48Yeah I don't think
00:29:51That's not the line
00:29:52Of work for old Fred
00:29:53I think he needs
00:29:54To find something else
00:29:55For women
00:29:56For women
00:29:56It's a terribly
00:29:57Inappropriate sketch
00:29:58But as a comic
00:29:59Creation
00:30:00He obviously
00:30:01Loved that character
00:30:03Because he had him
00:30:03Throughout the entire series
00:30:05And a lot of people
00:30:06I know
00:30:06Loved that character
00:30:07After imitating
00:30:12Film stars
00:30:13And performers
00:30:13As a kid
00:30:14Benny's sights
00:30:15Were now set
00:30:16On stars
00:30:16Of the small screen
00:30:18Fanny Craddock
00:30:20Was a very well
00:30:21Known TV cook
00:30:21And her sidekick
00:30:22Was her husband
00:30:23Johnny
00:30:24Who sometimes came in
00:30:25And talked about wine
00:30:26And they were in a way
00:30:28They were almost a parody
00:30:29Of themselves
00:30:29And so she would
00:30:31Just sort of talk to camera
00:30:32Whilst knocking up dinner
00:30:32With her husband Johnny
00:30:34Kind of bumbling about
00:30:35In the background
00:30:36And Benny nailed that
00:30:37In this sketch
00:30:39Hello everyone
00:30:40Well here we are
00:30:40Once again
00:30:41At the festive season
00:30:42And the time of the year
00:30:43When Johnny likes to get his hands
00:30:44On a nice plump young bird
00:30:46Making a change
00:30:49From the old boiler
00:30:50He gets the rest of the year
00:30:51This is classic Benny
00:30:52The classic double entendre
00:30:54With the nice young bird
00:30:56And the old boiler
00:30:57It's wonderful wordplay really
00:30:59Even though he's quite expressive
00:31:01In his face
00:31:02He doesn't overplay things
00:31:03Which is what makes them funny
00:31:05He's sort of
00:31:05Kind of
00:31:06Just under
00:31:07I'm just going to give that to Johnny
00:31:09And he's going to stuff it
00:31:10Into the oven
00:31:11And we are going to
00:31:13Don't do that Johnny
00:31:13I loved the fact
00:31:17That he really attempted
00:31:19To make the cooking
00:31:21Quite real
00:31:22And quite
00:31:22You know
00:31:23Well this is what you do
00:31:24And keep that quite simple
00:31:25And the real comedy
00:31:27Is in what the husband's doing
00:31:29Now I just brought
00:31:30A little
00:31:30A little tiny
00:31:31Just a little tiny drop
00:31:34In there like that
00:31:35You see
00:31:35And I go and put this
00:31:36Now on a high
00:31:37On a high ring
00:31:38Classic pantomime drunkenness
00:31:46Classic old school variety
00:31:48Acting out of
00:31:49The effects of the demon booze
00:31:51He does it so well
00:31:52And Fanny's reaction to him
00:31:54Is always sort of
00:31:55Avoiding the situation
00:31:56She knows he's pissed
00:31:58But she's not going to say
00:31:59Anything about it
00:31:59You know
00:32:00She's got a programme to do
00:32:01You know
00:32:01It's always one of those
00:32:02There was like
00:32:14Some random scene
00:32:15Where he just like
00:32:16Cracked an egg on his head
00:32:17Yeah
00:32:18That was quite funny
00:32:19I think it's endearing
00:32:21When they laugh
00:32:21At their own comedy
00:32:22Because I think
00:32:23You're watching it
00:32:24You're with them anyway
00:32:25You're laughing
00:32:25They're laughing
00:32:26Everyone's laughing
00:32:27And it just all
00:32:28Flows together
00:32:28Whether he intended
00:32:30To crack the egg
00:32:30On his head
00:32:31Or something he
00:32:32Improvised at the time
00:32:33I couldn't tell you
00:32:34But it was a wonderful
00:32:35Piece of comedy
00:32:37We must put in
00:32:38Just a little tiny spot
00:32:39Of absence
00:32:40Because absence
00:32:41Makes the heart grow fonder
00:32:42Absinthe makes the heart
00:32:49Grow fonder
00:32:49I still to this day
00:32:51I love that sketch
00:32:52For that reason
00:32:53It's just
00:32:55The husband getting
00:32:56More and more drunk
00:32:57And she's trying to
00:32:58Stay really clear
00:32:59And still kind of
00:32:59Noticing behind her
00:33:00That is
00:33:01Comedy genius
00:33:03At its best
00:33:03Benny was an innovator
00:33:05Who stretched
00:33:06The visual medium
00:33:07But he never got
00:33:08The credit he deserved
00:33:09Always keen
00:33:11To push the boundaries
00:33:11Even the TV news
00:33:13Became a target
00:33:14For his mockery
00:33:15Benny even
00:33:16Did a sketch
00:33:17That was a parody
00:33:18Of the news at ten
00:33:18With added booze
00:33:19And he was sort of
00:33:20Helping himself
00:33:21To kind of
00:33:21I think brown ale
00:33:22During the news bulletin
00:33:23Which then led to
00:33:25All the clips
00:33:26Getting mixed up
00:33:26The opening of parliament
00:33:29The Queen
00:33:30Seen here
00:33:31Leaving Buckingham Palace
00:33:32Refreshed
00:33:33After her recent
00:33:34Hollywood
00:33:34The film clips
00:33:36Out of sync
00:33:37Were just hilarious
00:33:38Especially the ones
00:33:40About Queen Elizabeth
00:33:41And Prince Philip
00:33:42When they're
00:33:43Two old tramps
00:33:44She was helped
00:33:47Into the royal coach
00:33:49By Prince Philip
00:33:50As he accompanied her
00:33:53On their journey
00:33:54Down the Mouth
00:33:54Thousands of well-wishers
00:33:55Many of them tourists
00:33:57Wished her godspeed
00:33:58It's one thing
00:34:00To send up a show
00:34:01But to include clips
00:34:03Actual clips
00:34:05Real life clips
00:34:06Not comedy clips
00:34:07That you've made
00:34:07Specially for it
00:34:08I think that's
00:34:09Another level
00:34:10Once again
00:34:12The sad side
00:34:13Two young people
00:34:14Being equipped
00:34:15These young people
00:34:18Defeated by inflation
00:34:20And rising prices
00:34:21Have had to leave
00:34:22The house
00:34:23Which has been
00:34:23Their home
00:34:24For so long
00:34:24And this does
00:34:26Happen with the news
00:34:27But Benny
00:34:27Just adds to it
00:34:29Doesn't he
00:34:29Adds more
00:34:30And more
00:34:31And more to it
00:34:32So in the end
00:34:32It's really funny
00:34:33And sketches like that
00:34:35Are comedy gold
00:34:36But certain news items
00:34:38Would be unacceptable
00:34:39By today's standards
00:34:40Brace yourselves
00:34:42But any moment now
00:34:43There is bound to be
00:34:44A military coup
00:34:45Coup
00:34:45However the president
00:34:49Magano
00:34:50So far refuses
00:34:51Office of Assistance and Aid
00:34:52And we don't want
00:34:54The United Nations
00:34:55That cannot run
00:34:57Peace
00:34:57Peace
00:34:57Peace
00:34:58Peace
00:34:58Peace
00:34:58Peace
00:34:59Peace
00:35:00Nah
00:35:01In today's world
00:35:06If that came up
00:35:06On TV
00:35:07100% cancelled
00:35:10Like no career
00:35:11There's other shows
00:35:12That did similar things
00:35:14And they've been
00:35:15Completely cancelled
00:35:15Exactly
00:35:16Yeah
00:35:16It's a really
00:35:17Hammy
00:35:19Clichéd
00:35:21Racist
00:35:22Probably
00:35:23Portrayal of
00:35:25African leaders
00:35:26It's a difficult watch
00:35:28I mean this is
00:35:2920 years after
00:35:30Windrush
00:35:31There was immigration
00:35:33But again it took
00:35:34It took a long time
00:35:35For TV to catch up
00:35:37So non-white faces
00:35:39On TV were still
00:35:40Quite rare
00:35:40And blackface
00:35:42Was quite widespread
00:35:43I think one of the
00:35:44Problems people have
00:35:45Even today actually
00:35:46With prejudice
00:35:47Is situating it
00:35:48In the individual
00:35:49Now I'm not trying
00:35:50To absolve individuals
00:35:52We all have
00:35:52Individual responsibility
00:35:53But actually
00:35:55Things like racism
00:35:56And sexism
00:35:57And homophobia
00:35:57They are social problems
00:35:59And they're structural
00:36:01So to see Benny Hill
00:36:02As being uniquely
00:36:03Flawed
00:36:04Would be a mistake
00:36:05There were other people
00:36:07Doing things like
00:36:08He was doing
00:36:09All around him
00:36:10At the time
00:36:11And nobody
00:36:12Not performers
00:36:13Not writers
00:36:14Not producers
00:36:15Directors
00:36:15Not audiences
00:36:16Would have seen that
00:36:18As being
00:36:18For the most part
00:36:20Troubling
00:36:20Of course people
00:36:21Who were affected
00:36:22By the comedy
00:36:22Might have done
00:36:23No celebrities
00:36:26Were off limits
00:36:27For Benny's impressions
00:36:28In this sketch
00:36:30Terry Wobegon
00:36:31Who's a spoof
00:36:32For Terry Wogan
00:36:32Who's a huge figure
00:36:33At the time
00:36:34He's got the Radio 2
00:36:35Breakfast show
00:36:35He's got his own chat show
00:36:36So Benny plays him
00:36:38Judging a kind of
00:36:39Come dancing alike
00:36:39Competition
00:36:41With the usual
00:36:42Hilarious consequences
00:36:43And the top of the
00:36:45Evening to you
00:36:46Now here's where
00:36:46The eyes that ask
00:36:48And relax
00:36:49And stop trying
00:36:50To fight the flag
00:36:51Because the youngins
00:36:52Are going to take the floor
00:36:53I hope they bring it back
00:36:55When they're talking with it
00:36:56He's actually got
00:36:57Terry quite well
00:36:58With the accent a bit
00:37:00And also
00:37:00Terry's demeanour
00:37:02And attitude
00:37:03To the audience
00:37:05And the performers
00:37:06Terry Wogan
00:37:06Was a very
00:37:07Very laconic figure
00:37:08And Benny Hill
00:37:10Pulled this off
00:37:10Brilliantly
00:37:11He also
00:37:12Does this
00:37:13Sped up
00:37:13Quick step
00:37:14And Charleston
00:37:14Sequences
00:37:15As one of the dancers
00:37:16Couple number 69
00:37:18Obviously
00:37:18It was actually
00:37:24Very clever
00:37:25Technically
00:37:26Because the dancers
00:37:27Were going at normal speed
00:37:29But he and his partner
00:37:30Were whizzing about
00:37:31And to this day
00:37:32I don't know how
00:37:33They do that
00:37:33That would have been
00:37:34In those days
00:37:35People were going
00:37:35Oh my god
00:37:36Look at that
00:37:37How did that happen
00:37:38Inexplicably
00:37:54Her knickers fall down
00:37:55And you think
00:37:56Oh yes
00:37:57This is Benny Hill
00:37:58It has to end like that
00:38:00Couldn't end
00:38:01Any other way
00:38:02That was a bit saucy
00:38:03Wasn't it
00:38:04It's like
00:38:05Smutting up Terry's name
00:38:07As far as Terry
00:38:09I'd had words with him
00:38:10Do you know what I mean
00:38:11And Benny's about to enter
00:38:14His most controversial
00:38:15Period yet
00:38:16It's really quite near
00:38:17The knuckle
00:38:18For primetime telly
00:38:19Family viewing
00:38:20Benny Hill's
00:38:27Many impersonations
00:38:29Were not limited
00:38:29To British shows
00:38:31There were
00:38:31International TV detectives
00:38:33Mind if I join you
00:38:35Cannon?
00:38:37I don't know
00:38:37Be my guest
00:38:38Monsieur
00:38:41Hercule Poirot here
00:38:43Was just saying
00:38:43That there's no such thing
00:38:44As the perfect crime
00:38:45It is quite true
00:38:48Because Benny
00:38:48Watched so much television
00:38:50And he would have
00:38:51Researched it so thoroughly
00:38:52He knew that
00:38:53All of these big
00:38:5470s like cops
00:38:56Were hugely popular
00:38:58And hugely well known
00:38:59And so then
00:39:00To see them sent up
00:39:01In that way
00:39:02Was just a nice bit
00:39:03Of comedy gold
00:39:04Say
00:39:05Either of you two
00:39:06Fellas know anything
00:39:07About murder?
00:39:09Come on sweetheart
00:39:11I'm on vacation
00:39:12Do you mind?
00:39:13I mean it looks so much
00:39:14Like Kojak
00:39:14I loved it
00:39:15He studies them
00:39:16Quite carefully
00:39:17And quite carefully
00:39:17Before he does all this
00:39:18Make-up and the accent
00:39:19And everything else
00:39:19He does his research
00:39:21And I think he succeeds
00:39:22And anyone remember
00:39:26These guys?
00:39:27The A-Team is a huge
00:39:29Action drama at the time
00:39:31It's about these
00:39:32Four renegade ex-soldiers
00:39:35Who go around America
00:39:37Solving crimes
00:39:39And correcting injustices
00:39:40And so Benny's parody
00:39:42Is the B-Team
00:39:42Can't you go any faster?
00:39:44Yeah I can go fast
00:39:45Only I'm not allowed
00:39:46To leave the man
00:39:47You know I guess
00:39:49We're on it
00:39:49When a plan comes together
00:39:51Ha ha ha
00:39:53They'd gone to a lot of trouble
00:39:54With it
00:39:54It was a big production number
00:39:56You know
00:39:56They recreated
00:39:58Quite a lot of
00:40:00Sort of
00:40:00Certainly the look
00:40:01But Benny's saying
00:40:02Is that cultural appropriation
00:40:04Or is it not
00:40:05I was such a massive fan
00:40:14Of the A-Team
00:40:14That I quite liked
00:40:15The B-Team
00:40:16I loved his B-A Barakas
00:40:18You know
00:40:19You look back at Nango
00:40:20Was it appropriate
00:40:21For him to have
00:40:22Done that
00:40:23Now you look back on it
00:40:24And you go
00:40:24I don't know
00:40:26I don't think it is
00:40:27At this point
00:40:28At the time
00:40:29I thought it was
00:40:30What I would class
00:40:30With blackface
00:40:31The old school
00:40:32Films and that
00:40:33Where they'd just be
00:40:34Jet black
00:40:35With these wide eyes
00:40:36And red red lips
00:40:38That's different
00:40:39But if they're made up
00:40:40To look similar
00:40:41To what a black guy
00:40:42Yeah I've got no problem
00:40:43He played B-A Barakas good
00:40:45Benny was also
00:40:51A skilled songwriter
00:40:52He composed his show's
00:40:54Original music
00:40:55And this 1971 classic
00:40:57Became a surprise hit
00:40:58You can hear
00:41:00The your feet pound
00:41:01As they raced
00:41:02Across the ground
00:41:03And the clatter of the wheels
00:41:05As they spun round and round
00:41:07And he galloped into Market Street
00:41:08He's badger upon his chest
00:41:10His name was Ernie
00:41:11And he drove the fastest milk cart
00:41:13In the West
00:41:14Ernie the fastest milkman
00:41:15In the West
00:41:16Dates right back
00:41:18To when Benny was
00:41:20A milkman himself
00:41:21When he was going out
00:41:22And coming back
00:41:23And making all the lads laugh
00:41:24Of his impersonations
00:41:25Of the people he met
00:41:26On his round
00:41:26If you listen to the words
00:41:27It's a very very clever song
00:41:29And he could sing
00:41:30Benny Hill could sing
00:41:31Ernie and his love rival
00:41:39Who's the bread delivery man
00:41:40Are fighting for the affections
00:41:41Of the widow at number 22
00:41:42You know
00:41:43It was a whole thing about
00:41:44Bored housewives
00:41:45Having off with the milkman
00:41:47I suppose we all had a milkman
00:41:48Maybe it was nice to imagine
00:41:51This life for them
00:41:52And it was brilliant
00:41:53And the film that they made
00:41:54With it was fantastic
00:41:55Now Ernie had a rival
00:41:57An evil looking man
00:41:59Called Two-Ton Ted
00:42:00From Tickington
00:42:01And he drove the beggars van
00:42:03He tempted her
00:42:04With his treacle tarts
00:42:05And his tasty old meal bread
00:42:06And when she'd seen
00:42:07The size of his hot meat pies
00:42:09It very near turned her head
00:42:10Every time you saw the video
00:42:11It made you laugh
00:42:12And it was totally brilliant
00:42:15You know
00:42:15Such a parody
00:42:16And so cleverly written
00:42:18Was it Two-Ton Ted
00:42:19From Teddington
00:42:20Was just very clever
00:42:21He ran the baker's van
00:42:22I mean it was a very very funny
00:42:24Very funny song and rhyme
00:42:26It became a surprise hit
00:42:28It was number one
00:42:29For five weeks I think
00:42:30And Christmas number one
00:42:32Which took even Benny
00:42:33By surprise
00:42:34So catchy
00:42:35That's going to be stuck in my head
00:42:36It was quite catchy
00:42:37Yeah
00:42:38Ernie the fastest
00:42:39In the West
00:42:40Is actually
00:42:41One of David Cameron's
00:42:42Choices on Desert Island Discs
00:42:44Former Prime Minister
00:42:45And apparently he does it
00:42:46As his party piece
00:42:47So you can recite all the lyrics
00:42:48So there's a
00:42:49There's an image to conjure with
00:42:51Well here's one you didn't write Benny
00:42:54Ready everyone?
00:42:55Come on who don't know that theme?
00:43:12You know running in and out of shrubbery and trees and parks and stuff
00:43:21That's classic Benny Hill
00:43:23You've got this array of women chasing these poor harassed men in kilts
00:43:31And it's speeded up
00:43:33And somehow that makes it really funny
00:43:36I think Jacket's saxes is an ingenious choice of music
00:43:40It lends itself really well to physical comedy
00:43:42If you ask anyone anywhere in the world
00:43:50They'll start humming that tune because of the show
00:43:53It's one of those songs you can't hear about wanting a smile
00:43:56It's just perfect
00:43:57Absolutely wonderful
00:43:58Physical comedy was Benny's forte
00:44:05And the visual gags got pretty bold
00:44:08Oh and she's so bloody marvellous
00:44:11Well it's so black
00:44:12He's Benny Hill at his finest
00:44:14They use props brilliantly
00:44:16Whether it's the flying crockery
00:44:18Whether it's the slamming doors
00:44:19You're not dead!
00:44:21You're not dead!
00:44:22You're not dead!
00:44:22He's very good at kind of rolling with the punches
00:44:27And incorporating those little moments and mistakes into the script
00:44:30Which only makes it funnier
00:44:31It had every classic, cliché, slapstick thing
00:44:35You know, there was the mistress, the wife, the this, the that
00:44:40Almost like a Hollywood production of a Benny Hill sketch
00:44:44You want him? You can have him!
00:44:45Just don't ever come back to me!
00:44:47Charles!
00:44:48Oh mademoiselle!
00:44:50Harry!
00:44:51Why? What have you done to her?
00:44:53Take that!
00:44:54Stop it!
00:44:55Stop it!
00:44:56Stop it!
00:44:59Brilliantly timed
00:44:59It's brilliantly acted
00:45:01And it just builds and builds and builds
00:45:03Until Benny's getting hit over the head with all sorts of stuff
00:45:06It's just a classic bit of clowning
00:45:08The board man constantly slapped on his head
00:45:19That is iconic
00:45:20There you see in that sketch
00:45:21The relationship between Benny
00:45:23And old school silent movie comedy
00:45:26It's just beautiful the way it's done
00:45:28And the head slapping became such a Benny Hill trademark
00:45:37That he really milks it in the sketch
00:45:39There's an extraordinary amount of slapping
00:45:42And poor Jackie's head
00:45:43Often sped up for even further comic effect
00:45:46I'm sure it's hugely inappropriate
00:45:48I certainly wouldn't do it myself
00:45:50But watching someone else do it and him taking it
00:45:52Is just hilarious
00:45:53I've not got much left
00:45:55I'm in the danger zone here
00:45:57There was exaggerated sound effects
00:46:04Which of course made it funnier still
00:46:07And did Jackie Wright's bewildered face
00:46:10He literally came in
00:46:11Sat down
00:46:12Got abused
00:46:13Paid for it
00:46:14Left
00:46:14And got injured
00:46:15So that weren't a good trip to the barbers for him
00:46:18In 1979
00:46:26The Benny Hill Show was broadcast in the US
00:46:28Back then it was notoriously difficult for British comedy to sell in America
00:46:34But Benny's show was an enormous success
00:46:37He was the first British TV comedian to crack the States
00:46:43Thames Television hadn't had anyone that sold like he did
00:46:48It was massive really
00:46:50No one else had conquered America
00:46:52And he did
00:46:53I remember going over to America in like 1985, 1986
00:46:57And there being a 24 hour Benny Hill channel
00:47:00And thinking
00:47:01Wow that's
00:47:03Is there enough footage for 24 hours?
00:47:05They said if you want to sell something to America
00:47:07It's got to be something they ain't got
00:47:09And they did not have a Benny Hill
00:47:10Almost every American actor or musician I've ever spoken to
00:47:17Has professed a great love for Benny Hill
00:47:19Michael Jackson's big fan
00:47:20People like Clint Eastwood and Frank Sinatra are big fans
00:47:23Johnny Carson who had the biggest chat show in America
00:47:25Was always trying to get Benny Hill on his show
00:47:27So everyone loved Benny
00:47:31But did anyone really know him?
00:47:35Who was the real Benny Hill?
00:47:42Benny was probably not how people would imagine him to be off camera
00:47:46He was very humble
00:47:48Really humble
00:47:49Really modest
00:47:50He wasn't a big I am
00:47:52He wasn't a big shot
00:47:53He was ever so generous with friends
00:47:55But he wasn't interested in money
00:47:57He was actually quite shy in many ways
00:47:59But people didn't realise it
00:48:00Because he had a facade of being Benny Hill etc
00:48:03People say he was lonely
00:48:04But he wasn't lonely
00:48:05He was a loner by choice
00:48:07He liked his own company
00:48:09He just liked being on his own
00:48:10He just liked watching telly
00:48:12He liked writing comedy
00:48:13And he liked relaxing
00:48:15That's you know
00:48:15That was what he did
00:48:16Benny lived in a rented flat in Teddington
00:48:21Close to his beloved TV studios
00:48:24His flat in Teddington was extremely basic by anybody's standards
00:48:30But really that wasn't because he was a miser
00:48:33I didn't want to spend his money
00:48:35It was because he didn't need anything
00:48:37Or particularly want anything
00:48:39He loved travelling
00:48:40He loved seeing other cultures
00:48:41He loved going around the world
00:48:42He could speak French pretty well
00:48:44He could speak German
00:48:45So he got a lot of his inspirations
00:48:47From just watching the world and seeing people
00:48:50Very observant man
00:48:51Much more than you realise
00:48:54Because he kept it to himself
00:48:56But he was very observant
00:48:58It's amazing that Benny Hill
00:49:00The real man
00:49:01Who none of us knew anything about at all ever
00:49:04Was obviously a much more sophisticated
00:49:06Well travelled, well read person
00:49:09Than we imagined
00:49:12There was a lot of speculation
00:49:13About him and his sex life and whatever
00:49:17But in truth he was just an ordinary guy
00:49:20He was never one for the showbiz life
00:49:23He never wanted fame for himself
00:49:26He shunned all that
00:49:28There was speculation
00:49:29Is he gay?
00:49:30Because he's obviously not married
00:49:32And we haven't seen him photographed with a girlfriend
00:49:35No, he definitely wasn't gay
00:49:37He was definitely into women
00:49:38And he probably would have been very happily married
00:49:42To one of the two women that he fell in love with
00:49:44But it just didn't happen
00:49:45Benny certainly did love being around the ladies
00:49:52Especially on set
00:49:54And in 1980
00:49:56A troupe of glamorous young women
00:49:58Were introduced to the series
00:50:00Known as the Hills Angels
00:50:01The Hills Angels came about
00:50:05Was really through Kenny Everett
00:50:06Kenny Everett, how you remember
00:50:08Had hot gossip on his show
00:50:11And in an interview in the press
00:50:13When somebody said to him
00:50:14You're getting jolly good ratings, aren't you?
00:50:16He said, thank God for hot gossip
00:50:18And I thought
00:50:19If you can't beat him
00:50:20Join him
00:50:22Watching the dance troupe
00:50:29It just seems so extreme and obvious
00:50:32It's just purely titillation
00:50:35It was always a bit of boobs here
00:50:37And a bit of boobs there
00:50:37And that was fine
00:50:39But then the Hills Angels
00:50:40And that's when I started to go
00:50:42Could this be one step too far for Benny?
00:50:53As the 80s dawned
00:50:55International audiences
00:50:56Couldn't get enough of Benny Hill's Angels
00:50:58The camera is shooting
00:51:07Very suggestively and lasciviously
00:51:09It makes me feel
00:51:11Slightly uncomfortable
00:51:12Because this is served up
00:51:14As family entertainment
00:51:15And if it's family entertainment
00:51:18It's for dad, really, isn't it?
00:51:20It's like, okay
00:51:21You're very clearly
00:51:22Sexualising women
00:51:25For, like, no reason whatsoever
00:51:27And so they intercut between
00:51:29Hills Angels
00:51:30Kind of doing sexy dancing on stage
00:51:32And these mini skits
00:51:33With Benny as a waiter serving food
00:51:35Here we've got, like, completely explicit
00:51:43Sex vivations
00:51:45And then a little bit of comedy
00:51:47And so before it was, like, complete reverse of that
00:51:50There used to be a point to the humour
00:51:53But by the time it just got to
00:51:55The disco dancing babes
00:51:56And birds
00:51:57What can you say?
00:52:00It was just a parade of women's bodies
00:52:02And a tittering
00:52:04About women's breasts
00:52:07I knew a lot of girls
00:52:09Who were Hills Angels
00:52:10And they loved working with Benny
00:52:11Absolutely loved it
00:52:12I mean, three or four people
00:52:13Who I know very, very well
00:52:15Adored working with Benny
00:52:16But they kept saying
00:52:17Please, you know
00:52:18You'll have such a riot
00:52:19And I probably would
00:52:20But they didn't even think of it like that
00:52:22I don't think it even entered their heads
00:52:25And the routines got even more risque
00:52:29You may want to look away now
00:52:31There's just 20 girls in bikinis
00:52:49Just all dancing
00:52:50Like, for, like, no reason whatsoever
00:52:53Like, the fact that that's just on TV
00:52:55Is a bit crazy
00:52:56That, yeah
00:52:57A bunch of, like, basically naked women
00:52:59Like, it's a bit strange
00:53:01The Hills Angels and Swimwear
00:53:03Was at a time where, you know
00:53:07There was still Miss World competitions on TV
00:53:10And it was kind of normal
00:53:12To see that
00:53:14Not entirely sure what the place of it was
00:53:17In a comedy show
00:53:18I don't want anyone to hear me
00:53:21Not you, listen
00:53:24The drunken old soaks
00:53:28At the bar
00:53:29Which he did brilliantly
00:53:31I can watch that now
00:53:33And kind of appreciate it
00:53:34But I think
00:53:35Just in terms of telly
00:53:39Family viewing
00:53:40Wouldn't happen today
00:53:42Women in bikinis writhing around
00:53:44All over each other
00:53:45I see a big change
00:53:47How we went from
00:53:48End of the pier
00:53:49Which is funny, you know
00:53:50Chasing a girl round the block
00:53:53Looking up her skirt
00:53:54Which is not very good
00:53:55But even all of that lot
00:53:57To this
00:53:57Which is overtly
00:53:59Really very, very sexual
00:54:01It hasn't got the same fun in it
00:54:04That's what it is
00:54:05It's now become seriously sexy
00:54:07As opposed to the other
00:54:08Which was fun
00:54:09By the mid-80s
00:54:14The Benny Hill Show
00:54:15Had been exported
00:54:16To over 100 countries worldwide
00:54:18But in Britain
00:54:23Times were changing
00:54:24Women were coming more
00:54:26To the forefront
00:54:27You've seen women CEOs
00:54:28More than you've never done before
00:54:30Women comedians
00:54:31More so than we'd seen for a while
00:54:34I think by the time
00:54:35Hill's Angels
00:54:35Were on our TV screens
00:54:38Those that were applauding this
00:54:41And thinking this was great fun
00:54:43Were dinosaurs
00:54:44Yes, there was definitely
00:54:47The view that
00:54:50Well, this is just a bit of
00:54:51Entertainment, lighten up
00:54:52But people were recognising
00:54:54That women really shouldn't be viewed
00:54:56As sexual playthings for men
00:54:58You've had, you know
00:54:59Feminist pop stars
00:55:00You know, you've had
00:55:02Feminist comedians
00:55:03You know, the idea that
00:55:05The only place for women in comedy
00:55:07Is just sexual display
00:55:09That feels both wrong
00:55:11And old-fashioned
00:55:12In the 80s
00:55:13There was a kind of
00:55:14Revolution in comedy
00:55:17Because younger people came up
00:55:19Who didn't have those same
00:55:20Crude, stereotypical ideas
00:55:24And I think the tide turned
00:55:26I think alternative comedy
00:55:28And people like Billy Connolly
00:55:31Began to make
00:55:33Benny Hill look frayed
00:55:36And old school
00:55:38And what the old people liked
00:55:41Whereas alternative comedy
00:55:44Was youthful
00:55:46And it was punk
00:55:48The weird thing about the show
00:55:49Is the complaints came from
00:55:50Two directions
00:55:51They came from the
00:55:52Mary Whitehouse
00:55:53The traditionalists
00:55:55The people who didn't want nudity
00:55:58Didn't want sexy girls
00:56:00On the telly
00:56:01And they also came from
00:56:02Young people going
00:56:04Actually, this is sexist
00:56:05You shouldn't be
00:56:06Women shouldn't be portrayed like this
00:56:08And race shouldn't be portrayed like this
00:56:10So weirdly
00:56:11He was cornered
00:56:12Really by both sides
00:56:13In an attempt to move with the times
00:56:17The Hill's Angels performances
00:56:19Were toned down
00:56:20And Benny introduced
00:56:22Some new members to the cast
00:56:23Hill's Little Angels
00:56:25My dad, Dennis Kirkland
00:56:29Was Benny's director
00:56:30And I was the oldest
00:56:31Of five children in the show
00:56:33And we just got to come to work
00:56:35With our parents
00:56:36Basically
00:56:37Have a lovely old time
00:56:39And in this sketch
00:56:42It's like a country house weekend
00:56:44And Benny plays
00:56:45The put-upon butler
00:56:47Being kind of bullied
00:56:47And abused
00:56:48By these spoilt little brats
00:56:50You've got to love
00:56:51The Little Angels
00:56:52What little rascals
00:56:53I mean, this was
00:56:54This was the watering down
00:56:55Of Benny
00:56:56That Thames asked for
00:56:56But even so
00:56:57He makes it work
00:56:58There's the chaplain-esque element
00:57:00Again
00:57:01The hitting of the head
00:57:02The ball coming out
00:57:03The other side
00:57:03The eyes rolling round
00:57:05That clever technical stuff
00:57:07I mean, it's just
00:57:07Lovely, it's just lovely
00:57:09He would still come out
00:57:11As the loser
00:57:11Even with five tiny little people
00:57:14We would always win
00:57:16It's kind of textbook Benny
00:57:22There's lots of looks
00:57:23To camera and physical comedy
00:57:25And kind of comedy sound effects
00:57:27And a kind of soundtrack
00:57:29To the four
00:57:30But it's maybe lost
00:57:31The spark of the old days
00:57:32And the good times
00:57:35Weren't going to last forever
00:57:36In late May 1989
00:57:39After almost 34 years
00:57:41As a fixture on British TV screens
00:57:43The Benny Hill Show
00:57:44Was cancelled
00:57:46It's kind of sad
00:57:49Looking back
00:57:51To see
00:57:51How TV just
00:57:54Drops you
00:57:56When they're done
00:57:56And that was it
00:57:58He was gone
00:57:59I think people get very attached
00:58:01To TV in a way
00:58:01They don't
00:58:02About other mediums
00:58:03Because it's in your living room
00:58:04And you watch it as a family
00:58:06And it feels like
00:58:06Part of the family
00:58:07And so
00:58:08You know
00:58:09The lovable uncle
00:58:11Benny Hill
00:58:11Being axed
00:58:13People took that quite personally
00:58:14I wrote a piece saying
00:58:15I wrote a piece saying
00:58:15Thames
00:58:16Who the hell do you think you are
00:58:17Why have you done this
00:58:18To Benny Hill
00:58:18One of our most
00:58:19Treasured comedy icons
00:58:20Why have you done this
00:58:21I was really angry
00:58:22Genuinely angry
00:58:23It wasn't newspaper anger
00:58:25Benny's show
00:58:27Had earned
00:58:27Thames TV
00:58:28An estimated
00:58:29100 million
00:58:30Despite declining ratings
00:58:33In the UK
00:58:33The last episode
00:58:35In 1989
00:58:36Still attracted
00:58:37Over nine and a half
00:58:38Million viewers
00:58:39Well it's the wonderful
00:58:47Benny isn't it
00:58:48He's got the same
00:58:49Leotard and Tyson
00:58:49As the girls have
00:58:50Looking
00:58:51Like Benny
00:58:52A little large
00:58:53But he does
00:58:54The whole number
00:58:55With them
00:58:56He just had fun
00:58:57And it's fun to watch
00:58:59This is a wonderful end
00:59:04For the Benny Hill show
00:59:06Because it's just
00:59:06What he does so well
00:59:07Putting those letters
00:59:08You know
00:59:09You're watching at home
00:59:10You know what it's
00:59:10Going to spell out
00:59:11You're saying
00:59:11No don't do that
00:59:12Don't do that
00:59:12And yet it goes ahead
00:59:14And he does it
00:59:14And he just saves the day
00:59:15So you don't actually
00:59:16See testicles or whatever
00:59:17You know
00:59:17It's just a lovely piece
00:59:19Of choreography
00:59:19I thought that was
00:59:22Very clever actually
00:59:23And if that's something
00:59:25To go out on
00:59:26Then that's a good thing
00:59:26To finish with
00:59:28He kept the simplicity
00:59:29Of situations
00:59:33Completely
00:59:33And the innocent looks
00:59:36And the joining in
00:59:38And making a fool
00:59:39Of himself
00:59:40In a funny way
00:59:42He kept that
00:59:43All through his career
00:59:44And that was
00:59:45What was so endearing
00:59:46About him
00:59:47Without his beloved
00:59:53TV show to write
00:59:54What would come next
00:59:55For Benny
00:59:56Internally he thought
00:59:58There was no way
00:59:58Of turning around
00:59:59This situation
01:00:00The only thing
01:00:01He wanted to do
01:00:01Was to write
01:00:03And to make people laugh
01:00:04And they'd taken away
01:00:06His baby
01:00:06They'd taken away
01:00:07The thing he lived for
01:00:08As the 90s dawned
01:00:14Benny Hill
01:00:15Was still reeling
01:00:16Over his show ending
01:00:17Benny was never
01:00:19Quite the same
01:00:19After that
01:00:20I mean he still
01:00:21Had that fight in him
01:00:23The fight he'd had
01:00:23Right back from the 40s
01:00:25But there was a sadness
01:00:27In him too
01:00:28I think Benny
01:00:29Kind of retreated
01:00:30After that
01:00:31And I know the girls
01:00:32Still saw him
01:00:32They still loved him
01:00:34Those girls loved him
01:00:35And that's a testament
01:00:36To him
01:00:37I think
01:00:38As a person
01:00:38But you know
01:00:40It felt like it was showbiz
01:00:41And he couldn't live
01:00:42Without it
01:00:42In 1991
01:00:44Benny filmed a show
01:00:46For America
01:00:46Benny Hill's
01:00:48World Tour
01:00:48But privately
01:00:50His health
01:00:51Was failing
01:00:51In February 1992
01:00:56Benny had a mild
01:00:58Heart attack
01:00:59Days later
01:01:03A surprise guest
01:01:04Paid him a visit
01:01:05Michael Jackson
01:01:06Michael was a huge fan
01:01:09And he had heard
01:01:10He was in hospital
01:01:10And he wanted to go
01:01:11And visit
01:01:12And there's these
01:01:13Wonderful photos
01:01:13Of them together
01:01:15These two giants
01:01:16From completely
01:01:17Different worlds
01:01:18One who
01:01:19Possibly the most
01:01:20Famous man in the
01:01:21World at the time
01:01:21Just an enormous
01:01:22Fan wanting to
01:01:23Meet his idol
01:01:24Benny had finally
01:01:27Struck a deal
01:01:28For a new
01:01:28British TV show
01:01:29But this
01:01:30Wasn't to be
01:01:31My dad hadn't
01:01:35Heard from Benny
01:01:36For a couple of days
01:01:37And neighbours
01:01:38Were saying
01:01:39That lights were on
01:01:40And the TV
01:01:40Had been on
01:01:41Constantly
01:01:42So he went to the
01:01:44Flat and they
01:01:45Talked about
01:01:45Bashing the door in
01:01:47But that seemed
01:01:47Like something
01:01:48That Benny would
01:01:49Hate
01:01:49So they got a ladder
01:01:51And dad began
01:01:52To climb
01:01:53And he climbed up
01:01:56Onto a balcony
01:01:57And he looked
01:01:57In through the window
01:01:58And he saw
01:01:59That he was
01:02:00Clearly dead
01:02:01In front of his
01:02:02In front of his
01:02:03Television
01:02:03On his sofa
01:02:04And I think dad
01:02:06Felt even then
01:02:07That that's
01:02:08Exactly what
01:02:09Benny would have
01:02:09Wanted
01:02:10To die privately
01:02:12To die watching
01:02:14The television
01:02:14In the place where
01:02:16He was most comfortable
01:02:17On April 18th
01:02:211992
01:02:22Benny Hill
01:02:23Died at his
01:02:24Flat in Teddington
01:02:24At age
01:02:2668
01:02:27A post-mortem
01:02:30Has found
01:02:31That the comedian
01:02:31Benny Hill
01:02:32Died of a heart
01:02:33Attack
01:02:33His body
01:02:34Was found
01:02:34At his home
01:02:35In south-west
01:02:35London
01:02:36Last night
01:02:37On April 28th
01:02:40Benny's funeral
01:02:41Was held
01:02:42In his hometown
01:02:43Of Southampton
01:02:44The coffin
01:02:46Went all around
01:02:47Southampton
01:02:47And I think
01:02:48We followed in cars
01:02:49It was very
01:02:51Very
01:02:52It was
01:02:56It was
01:02:56I can't
01:02:57I can't describe it
01:02:58Really
01:02:58Because all the
01:02:59Cars were there
01:03:00And the girls
01:03:00Were there
01:03:00It was
01:03:03Bittersweet
01:03:07Really
01:03:07The church
01:03:08Was packed
01:03:08With the great
01:03:09And the good
01:03:10Of comedy
01:03:10And light
01:03:11Entertainment
01:03:11It was kind
01:03:13Of a wonderful
01:03:13Day
01:03:14Which he
01:03:14Would have
01:03:15Wanted
01:03:15To laugh
01:03:17In the face
01:03:18Of the sadness
01:03:19Was such
01:03:20An important
01:03:21Thing for him
01:03:22To do
01:03:22And so
01:03:23That is
01:03:24What we all
01:03:24Did
01:03:25At the time
01:03:28Of his death
01:03:29Benny Hill
01:03:30Was one of
01:03:30Britain's biggest
01:03:31Comedy exports
01:03:32As the years
01:03:35Passed
01:03:35Benny still
01:03:36Had his loyal
01:03:37Supporters
01:03:37Worldwide
01:03:38Perhaps the most
01:03:40Unlikely
01:03:40Being members
01:03:41Of the US
01:03:42Hip-Hop
01:03:42Community
01:03:43Famously
01:03:45Snoop Dogg
01:03:45Loves him
01:03:46Lots of the
01:03:47Hip-Hop stars
01:03:47Are Benny Hill
01:03:48Fans
01:03:48To this day
01:03:49When I went
01:03:51To LA
01:03:52In 2004
01:03:53Black America
01:03:54African America
01:03:56Even thugs
01:03:56Knew who he was
01:03:57You know
01:03:58Crips and bloods
01:03:59Know who
01:04:00Benny Hill is
01:04:02Benny Hill
01:04:02Was our
01:04:04Favourite
01:04:04Back then
01:04:04And he
01:04:07Wasn't just
01:04:07Our favourite
01:04:08Here
01:04:08He was our
01:04:09Favourite
01:04:09In the states
01:04:10Benny Hill
01:04:11Is still
01:04:12Our favourite
01:04:12To this day
01:04:13I don't think
01:04:14Anybody
01:04:15Is funny
01:04:16Or as
01:04:17Charismatic
01:04:17As Benny Hill
01:04:19Though the
01:04:20Benny Hill show
01:04:21Was still
01:04:21Broadcast across
01:04:22The globe
01:04:23Today in Britain
01:04:24The series
01:04:25Remains
01:04:26Mostly
01:04:26On the shelf
01:04:27Some of the
01:04:29Characters
01:04:30Have dated
01:04:31Terribly
01:04:32Some of the
01:04:32Attitudes
01:04:33Have dated
01:04:34Terribly
01:04:34But
01:04:35Some of the
01:04:36Funniness
01:04:37Hasn't dated
01:04:38It just annoys me
01:04:39All the time
01:04:40That such a
01:04:40Negative view
01:04:41Of him
01:04:41Has been
01:04:42Allowed to
01:04:42Foster
01:04:42Because
01:04:42Benny's humour
01:04:43Was
01:04:44Included
01:04:45Subtle stuff
01:04:46It included
01:04:46Clever stuff
01:04:47It included
01:04:48Stuff that was
01:04:49Groundbreaking
01:04:50In its day
01:04:51I don't think
01:04:52Benny Hill
01:04:53Is given
01:04:54Enough credit
01:04:55From
01:04:56Comedians
01:04:57Certainly
01:04:58Of my
01:04:58Generation
01:04:59I get
01:05:00Why
01:05:00Because
01:05:01The
01:05:03Racist
01:05:04Stuff
01:05:06And the
01:05:06Misogyny
01:05:07Overshadowed
01:05:09The really
01:05:10Beautiful
01:05:11Artistic
01:05:12Creative
01:05:13Side
01:05:13And that
01:05:14Is a great
01:05:14Shame
01:05:14I've seen
01:05:15Him described
01:05:16As the
01:05:17Last man
01:05:17Standing
01:05:18At the
01:05:18End
01:05:18Of the
01:05:18Pier
01:05:18As the
01:05:19Pier
01:05:19Crumbled
01:05:20Away
01:05:20You know
01:05:21He was
01:05:21Born
01:05:21101
01:05:23Years
01:05:23Ago
01:05:24And so
01:05:25You know
01:05:26You can
01:05:26Understand
01:05:26Some of
01:05:27The views
01:05:28Might
01:05:28Seem inappropriate
01:05:29Now
01:05:30And I think
01:05:31It's a shame
01:05:31That his
01:05:31Kind of
01:05:32Skill
01:05:32As a
01:05:32Clown
01:05:33As a
01:05:33Comedian
01:05:34As a
01:05:34Writer
01:05:34As a
01:05:35Musician
01:05:36Some of
01:05:38That has
01:05:38Been lost
01:05:38In the
01:05:39Rush
01:05:39To cancel
01:05:40Him
01:05:40Not a lot
01:05:41Of people
01:05:41Hear
01:05:41Benny Hill
01:05:42And don't
01:05:42Give a
01:05:42Little
01:05:42Smile
01:05:43He was
01:05:43The
01:05:43Cheeky
01:05:44Chappy
01:05:44For
01:05:45Britain
01:05:45And
01:05:46He
01:05:46Done
01:05:46It
01:05:47Really
01:05:47Well
01:05:47So
01:05:48Yeah
01:05:48Rest
01:05:49In
01:05:49Peace

01:05:54Kitchen

01:05:58Children used
01:05:59To find it
01:05:59Hilarious
01:06:00And they
01:06:00They're not
01:06:01Sure why
